New Bretagne, the setting for the Victorian detective adventure Lamplight City, has menace and mystery lurking around every corner. ComposerMark Benissays it's that atmosphere and the divese characters, including Detective Miles Fordham, that provided the inspiration for his subtle soundtrack.
Mark says one of aspects that made it so interesting to write the music for Lamplight City was the goal of the developer, Grundislav Games, to create a diverse, living world with believable characters that span a broad range of social and economic backgrounds.
