| Soundtrack Now Available! | 2025-11-10 | Hello! I'm asaha, the director and artist of Heartreasure.Today, I'd like to share the latest news about the music!The soundtrack for Heartreasure: Stellar Journey features original solo piano pieces composed by Daisuke Shiiba. After working at Nintendo, he is now a freelance composer contributing to various indie game titles.Back in the very early stages of development—when the game didn’t even run yet—we had detailed discussions while looking at ballpoint pen concept art and the previous titles, Heartreasure 1 and 2. From there, we decided to go with an analog, hand-drawn-inspired musical style that matches the softness of the art.Analog Pi |
