The same went for audio design. We wanted the soundscape to stand out, so we fused traditional Eastern sounds with modern instruments to create something truly distinct. This combination gave Nine Sols an identity that sets it apart from other games, making the atmosphere feel both grounded in ancient roots and futuristic at the same time.
As we pieced everything together, the overall narrative also began to amplify. Themes like nature vs. technology and the meaning of life and death naturally found their way into the story. Strangely enough, it felt like Nine Sols was carving out its own path, and we were merely guiding it as it found its voice. Ultimately, we created a storytelling experience that stands out in the genre, exploring deep philosophical themes through the lens of myth and technology.
