French studio Emeteria is dropping *Fading Echo* today, a third-person action game that I could probably introduce as "Splatoon meets Solar Ash." You play as One, a warrior determined to stop a mysterious corruption from destroying her planet by manipulating water and triggering spectacular chain reactions. It’s a vibrant, colorful game that stands in stark contrast to its soundtrack—a heavy, electronic score with deep industrial undertones.

This marks British producer Maxwell Sterling’s first foray into video game music, despite a career primarily rooted in cinema. A double bassist by trade, Sterling knows how to set a mood; he layers textures, blending analog and digital sounds to craft a cohesive, stifling atmosphere that is—inevitably—barely melodic. It is a percussive work that is occasionally insidious in its sonics, surprising the listener with its sheer coldness (especially since the album artwork suggests something far brighter).

The result is a remarkable body of work, which you can also snag on vinyl through the French label G4F. [Pre-orders are already open](https://g4f-records.myshopify.com/products/fading-echo-vinyl-edition), starting at €39 (approx. $41). Just a heads-up: only 17 of the 23 tracks are slated for this 1LP, which is expected to drop by the end of the year.

> The original soundtrack of Fading Echo, first Action-Adventure game from the New Tales Studio : Emeteria, is a score that mirrors this ever-shifting world, where water crashes, lava burns, and time itself is unraveling.  
>  
> From delicate, flowing textures that echo One’s aquatic grace to surging, kinetic compositions that ignite the heat of combat, the music bends between serenity and chaos, tracing every form-shift and elemental reaction with visceral precision.  
>  
> Composed by Maxwell Sterling, the score captures the emotional core of a dying world and the resilience of its last Legend, with “Little Boxes”, the album’s first single, performed by the iconic Matthew Mercer, setting the tone for a soundtrack as bold and uncompromising as the world it brings to life.
