Wow, the music is very good and the sound effects are also very well done. The sound in this game is better than most big studios.

The different area's music seems very fitting to the situation. Great job!

Yeh the sound is brilliant. I love the footfalls on the grass and how it changes when you step up onto a solid path, and then back down on the grass... really sounds like you're out there... and then the music is great.

Makes me ever more happy I ordered the CD as well so I get the CD music.

Agreed. The music and sound in this game are much better than I expected.

I put a pretty high degree of importance on the sound in Eschalon, I believe it adds *a lot* to the overall immersive experience.
A fair bit can be accomplished with sound and music, and it's particularly important in a "low tech" game, since the sound can fill in a lot of gaps where perhaps graphics cannot. Sound adds life, a lot of it, and Basilisk clearly understand that.

I agree - sound/music are very important for an overall immersive experience, and I think Basilisk did a great job. I also think they did a good job with the lighting. I was in the cellar last night, and I definitely had a feeling of anxiety wandering around - worried I'd step in the wrong place or come across a really bad monster. And much of it was because of the music, sound fx and lighting.
