Music’s ability to soothe or counter stress has been linked in countless studies already, but you can see its true intention in Lumini, directly from Gijs Driesenaar (the composer’s) mouth:
“The music feels like a movie soundtrack but at the same time it has a lot of interactivity; it follows the player’s pace and actions, and the events that happen in the game. Music and sound is a very important aspect of Lumini, because it’s a relaxing game, it has a lot of emotional events and the game doesn’t tell the story through words, so I tried to tell the story through the music as well. And because there is no direct story telling, the only way to trigger deep emotions is through sound and music.”
