Bonsai Collective (@BonsaiGames) released a new “Behind the Scenes” showcase detailing the soundtrack behind forthcoming narrative-driven first-person action-adventure Luna Abyss.
The fresh video spot gives both a detailed look at the recording process directly from Air Studios, London - featuring the London Voices choir - and an effusive interview with Luna Abyss composer David Housden, who talks through both his process and his relationship with the development team.
The video was produced for online music festival Save & Sound. The nonprofit event - which ran on Steam between September 11th and September 14th - featuring exclusive content, including demos, discounts, and original content from almost 200 games.
Excitingly, the release of the new video also comes as Bonsai Collective unveils a brand new partnership with video game culture creative studio Lost In Cult to produce the Official Soundtrack on Vinyl release in association with Black Screen Records.
Mixing first-person bullet-hell action with a strong focus on narrative, Luna Abyss casts light on the remains of a long-lost colony, the remnants of which are scattered across the game’s caverns and valleys. It all serves as a suitable chamber for the prisoners sent into the depths of the Abyss to work off their sentences. With only an artificial prison guard named Aylin as your guide, the question of just what happened to Luna’s lost colony looms large. What are the secrets of the once-prosperous city of Greymont? And what are those strange voices that call out to you from the depths?

Play as a survivor in the aftermath of Judgment Day in Terminator: Survivors, a new open-world survival game by NACON (@Nacon). Build the resistance and defy the machines in Terminator: Survivors, coming to Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC (Steam). The game launches into Steam Early Access on October 24.
Terminator: Survivors is an open-world survival game set in the world of the famous sci-fi franchise Terminator, created by James Cameron and Gale Anne Hurd in 1984. In this original story taking place after the first two films, you take control of a group of survivors of Judgment Day, in solo or co-op mode, faced with a multitude of lethal hazards in this post-apocalyptic world. But you’re not alone. Skynet’s machines will hound you relentlessly and rival human factions will fight for the same resources you desperately need.
It’s been four years since the day humanity nearly perished. The truth of the event is still muddied in half-truths as you emerge from a shelter to attempt and reestablish some semblance of society in a world that seems hell-bent on eliminating you and the last vestiges of mankind. You are tasked with scouring the surrounding land for materials, information, other survivors, and key resources to establish a base of operations for your fledgling group.
But you’re not alone. Skynet’s machines are hunting you. They don’t feel anything. They never stop. Ever. Until they completed their mission: the eradication of all humanity. Alone or within a group of up to four, lead humanity’s rise from the ashes and unravel the truth behind the bombs, Skynet and the Terminator threat.
Meet iconic characters of the franchise as well as original ones and immerse yourself in a meticulously crafted world set in the post-apocalyptic future of James Cameron’s masterpiece.
Explore the open world to discover the key materials and survivors you need to advance your home base, but never forget: The fearsome and deadly Terminator is out there, hunting you, and a constant threat.
Learn more about what happened on Judgment Day in an unexplored storyline and try to change humanity’s fate.
Grow the remnants of humanity at a home base you’ll use to establish a new foothold for humanity and stand tall against the machine threat alone or in co-op with up to three friends.
While you’ll be armed to attack up close and at range, stealth and caution may be more intelligent approaches with Skynet’s machines and scavengers lurking.
