Hiya folks! It's been a few days since Farewell North released and I'm still getting used to the idea that it's out there. I've been reading the reviews over and over every day (please keep them coming, it's a huge help) and the response has far exceeded my wildest dreams! But, the feedback on the music in particular has been nothing short of phenomenal, and that's really all thanks to the work of our composer John Konsolakis who brought the soundscape to life. John has just released the soundtrack on Steam so if you'd like to own your very own copy then you can now do so with a 10% launch dis
