Unravel: Music as the Voice of the Game by Unravel Game

The video above was created by the game’s director, Martin Sahlin. Martin Sahlin was instrumental in the game’s use of music, including what music was used, which composers were used, and how it was used. Music is crucial in creating a compelling emotional connection between the player and the game world in Unravel. The soundtrack, composed by Henrik Oja, is an important tool for setting the tone and atmosphere of the game. Sahlin emphasises the game’s music’s nostalgic and beautiful elements. The melodic tunes evoke nostalgia while highlighting the natural beauty of the game’s landscapes. This adds to the atmosphere of reflection and connection, enticing players to immerse themselves in the world and story. Yarny’s movements and discoveries are meticulously synchronised with the music, adding depth to the game’s storytelling. This synchronisation ensures that players are emotionally invested in the narrative, resulting in a profound and long-lasting bond between the player and the game.
