Digitalis Publishing has announced that the soundtrack for Veritas Tales: Witch of the Dark Castle is now available to purchase, as well as stream on services such as Spotify and Apple Music. Hitoshi Sakimoto, who previously composed for 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim and Final Fantasy Tactics, performed the soundtrack.
The soundtrack features all 13 tracks from the game, and costs $12. To commemorate the release, Digitalis Publishing is holding a bundle sale on Steam, where players can get a 10% discount by purchasing the main game and soundtrack together. Those who already own the main game can purchase the soundtrack on its own at a discounted price. Veritas Tales: Witch of the Dark Castle is available now on PC via Steam.
Final Weapon reviewed the game, giving it a 3.5/5. We described it as a game that may not be “an epic like many other contemporary RPGs, it supplies a competent story with a wonderful game feeling. It turns the limitations of pen and paper into a strength of presentation, making it a very charming game to play, if perhaps a little simplistic.” Lastly, the Steam page describes the game as follows:
A neo-classic digital gamebook RPG that reimagines the charm of classic gamebooks for the modern age. Experience the nostalgic feel of scribbling stats with a pencil, rolling dice to decide your fate, and flipping pages by hand. The “authentic fantasy” you crave is right here!
