Hail Kontras! Welcome to Kingdom-Crier #12!


We've partnered with our composer Thomas Himblot on a new trio of Background Music tracks and Satoru took care of hooking them up! We've upped the base length a track will play for and lowered the amount of downtime between tracks.

The three new tracks are:

• Pizzicato Melody
  
• Calm Voice
  
• Guitar Space
  

Enjoy!
