These feature curated music from the game with footage carefully selected by the dev (me)!

| Hauntii Nominated for Best Soundtrack | 2024-10-07 | Golden Joystick has selected Hauntii as one of the nominees for Best Soundtrack!

Hauntii has live music for many of the tracks and a full performance by the Lyris Quartet for the ending theme. But ultimately it's about the end result - If you feel that Hauntii deserves to win best soundtrack, vote to help us out!
