Sea of Stars - Original Soundtrack (Disc 1: Solstice)

[@MetsuLDN]

As a man in his 30s with work, family, bills - The feeling of nostalgia from the games I loved as a kid slowly started to fade....Then I played Sea of Stars. I cannot thank Sabotage enough for giving us this game and making me feel like a kid again. I played it on release from start to finish (all trophies too!) and have not stopped thinking about it since. Hence why I am still here in 2024 listening to the OST while sitting in the office. A must play. Can't wait until your next project!

[@Kopeksi]

Not feeling like a kid again at 43 but the game brought back some of that, and the music is a big part of it. Trying to write my own fantasy and the soundtrack is a boost.

Omg I know! I am so excited about this! Thanks again Sabotage, the fact its free is crazy!

GO play The Messenger now (the first game in the series) It's so good

[@gh0sthex292]

​@@KeziaTv I played The Messenger immediately after I finished everything in Sea of Stars. They are both insanely good games with deep, rich lore. So dang good ❤

[@Mindcoon]

Sabotage Studio, thank you so much for this game! This is really a gem. I'm 25 years old and in my childhood I played a lot of old retro games on Sega Genesis but if this game existed on Sega Genesis in 2000s - I would rate it top-1 game on the console. I don't care what other reviews say about simplicity, plot and other things - the game is amazing. If someone reads this - just close browser, reviews, KZbin, forget about all that. Buy the game and play it - you will like it for sure. The music is amazing, the artstyle is extremely good, and gameplay continue to give you new and new and new features throughout the game that you don't get bored. I want to spoil so much but in the same time it's not good. But the twist that we see at 65% of the game (4:05:53 99. Sinister Unknown and 4:08:49 100. Broken World) is SO GOOD, I was in such inspiration after I reached that part of the game and just binge-played it until the very end, with all secrets and unlockables. I'm looking forward to Throes of the Watchmaker DLC.

How do I heart react sabotage studios heart react. I have been parading your game around my entire social circle for like 2+ years now. Wanted to get it for my bday but couldn't. Waited in agony to finally get the money to buy it. Bought it. And now I'm here. Thank you for making this game. It's everything I have wanted for the past decade.

[@shaunwolfe7665]

This game truly did something to my soul...It's very weird because it came at a time in my life where I was at my lowest. I lost my girlfriend in a car accident about a month before the game was released. I happened to see it on the PlayStation store I decided to buy it... When the mooncradle track started playing for some reason I just could not stop crying happy tears...In some sense it made me feel like she was okay up there.. I know it sounds crazy but I kept going back to just hear the song as the progressed and it brought me joy. Sea of Stars is a 10/10. I will never forget the way it affected me. Thierry and his team at Sabotage Studios made something absolutely beautiful. Thank you for all of your hard work!! ❤️🥹

[@brettpetri4254]

Yasunori Mitsuda, who was one of the composers on Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross, was a guest composer for this album so it’s not entirely surprising that it’s reminiscent of those games! He did a fantastic job on this, as he always does.

[@riry0ku]

So I completed Sea of Stars yesterday and got the true ending. Today I thought - hey the music in the game is really good. I should put the sound track on for a bit. I didn't expect to start sobbing almost immediately. I'm only 4 songs in but each one is making me sob harder. But is not a bad sob, it's a good one. Y'know those really good cries where its cathartic and you feel grateful to have in your life whatever it is that is making you sob. That caught me off guard but it was nice. This game really came to me at the perfect time. Not only is it in itself a great game - a beautiful modern love letter to the RPGs we grew up with. But it was exactly what I needed. I found myself having a horrible relationship with games recently. My mental health was becoming increasingly poor and I became really controlling and obsessive over games. It was unhelpfully fuelled by games with predatory and unhealthy game mechanics so it was a hard cycle to break. It was a horrible coping mechanism and it was making things way worse. It was only once I reached a really bad breaking point that I could see it all clearly. I spoke with my partner and a friend about gaming (amongst other things obviously) and about how I wanted to heal my relationship with it. To allow games to take me on an artistic journey, to have fun and not to stress. For them to become a safe space for me again. I'm so happy Sea of Stars was the first game I decided to play after I made that choice and I'm forever thankful to the developers for clearly pouring their heart and soul and love for retro RPGs into it. On top of it being a game that I would have loved anyway, it was like a dose of medicine. So to the Shopkeeper (if you know, you know), I want to say I hear you, I feel you and I thank you. I resonate with a lot of what you said, about gaming and about life. I want to experience more of your world and I want to channel more Garl energy in mine. Now I can't wait to play The Messenger too!

This is definitely one of the best tracks I've ever heard. I LOVED ALL THE SONGS FROM SEA OF STARS and thank you very much Sabotage Studios, Erick W. Brown, Vincent Jones and Yasunori Mitsuda. I hope it wins as best indie this year, IT REALLY DESERVES IT!!

Exploring a world so vibrant and full of life... This game is a masterpiece and more than just a video game. It's now part of my story, one of the legendary titles that becomes part of who we are. Through this game, I feel like I've grown my family. Thank you thank you thank you.

In hindsight, I should have remembered that he worked on this game since I saw the promo material where he featured before the game's release.
