On a last note i also want to give you another taste of the soundtrack in Dark Secrets, this time revealing the entry ”Vals vs. Troll” that plays while Arthur visits the local Museum.


Dark Secrets - Vals Vs. Troll - Indie DB

As usual its composed by Olof Alexandersson, our sound guy here at the studio.

That was everything I had to share today, and dont keep spreading the word by Liking us on Facebook, subscribing to our Youtube Channel or to simply mention our game to family and friends over a warm cup of Tea.

Vi synes!
