The debut studio game Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 by Sandfall Interactive has garnered significant acclaim for its emotionally engaging narrative, innovative turn-based combat, and remarkable eight-hour soundtrack. The score was composed by Lorien Testard, who, after a collaborative journey starting with weekly online posts, created an impressive collection of music that has been celebrated as potentially one of the best soundtracks of the year. Noteworthy contributions include famed actor Ben Starr providing vocals to a critical track, showcasing the unity and passion among the entire team over five years of development.
I was writing one song a week, and I'd just post it in an online forum. One week, [game director Guillaume Broche] found it, and he emailed me to say let's do a soundtrack, and five years later, I'm here.
Expedition 33 is a prime example of developers, creators, and actors coming together to create something they're passionate about - and being given the creative freedom to do it.
This was the first time Starr, who plays a character named Verso, contributed vocals to a project he's worked on.
And a huge part of that is the ambitious swings he was able to take while composing.
