Aquaria Soundtrack Now Available
If there is one aspect of video game culture that makes me truly envious of our Japanese friends, it's the fact that just about every game to get a release in the land of the rising sun also gets a soundtrack release. Over here in the states, and many other places across the globe, we have to hope that the game is a big enough deal to get a soundtrack. This fact makes the rare occurrences of when an indie game gets a soundtrack release even more special. But even rarer is when these releases are filled to the brim with songs, behind the scenes content, and exclusive artwork.
The latest example of this all too rare phenomena is indie PC title Aquaria. The boys and girls at Bit Blot may have taken their sweet time in producing what looks like a glorious double-disc package, but it appears to have been worth the wait. This very full 50 track release comes with some extra music tracks and remixes inspired by the game. On top of that, you'll get a song from their current game in progress, Marian.
If you aren't familiar with Aquaria, there's no better time than the present to pick up this very unique "Metroidvania" styled adventure through Bit Blot, Steam, and out digital distribution channels.
