Many have been closely following Square Enix’s foray into the survival horror genre in Japan with ナナシ ノ ゲエム (Nameless Game). After watching the Japanese trailer, which featured a catchy chip tune that sounded a lot like Koichi Sugiyama’s work on Dragon Quest, I was determined to hear more of the game’s music.
Square Enix delivered (at least in Japan) with the Nameless Game EP last month, featuring six tracks that all happen to be variations on the catchy theme from the trailer. Credited to Louise Noma, who many suspect to be Square Enix’s sound editor Masayoshi Soken, the music is eerie yet calming at the same time.
Hit the jump for impressions of this five-track EP that absolutely deserves a release on iTunes in the US. (more…)
