This is the complete soundtrack for SKALD: Against the Black Priory, an old-school roleplaying game that combines modern design and a fully realised narrative with authentic 8-bit looks and charms. The music was composed using the Yamaha YM2413 sound chip to create a warm, nostalgic sound, ranging from creepy ambience to shredding guitars.
