Opening an unexpected letter or parcel can just as easily spark excitement as it can fill you with dread. Is it a gift? Another bill? A love letter? Oh, right, a tax reassessment notice. Just like in real life, you never quite know what to expect in The Mailroom. However, something tells me it usually goes far beyond your weekly junk mail. Out today on PC, The Mailroom is billed as a cozy horror workplace simulator, complete with an ace up its sleeve: a brand-new soundtrack by Cameron Paxton. Stream it now on your platform of choice via the links above.
As a huge fan of Paxton's work on Dome Keeper and its various DLCs, I hit play just as eagerly as I sometimes tear into an eagerly awaited envelope. While the American composer's signature touch shines through in the eerie synth pads and lingering melodies, The Mailroom remains a spooky game at heart. Accordingly, the score leans into ominous undertones and coarse, gritty textures. It might not quite be a full-blown Jason Graves joint, but definitely expect something far less laid-back than Paxton's past output.
Looking for something more melancholic yet sultry? Give the INDUSTRIA 2 soundtrack a spin. While I wait for the latest Silent Hill score to drop, this has become my go-to foggy-morning OST.
