Sable Game.

Sable is an open world exploration video game developed by Shedworks and published by Raw Fury. It was released on 23 September 2021

Sable is an open world exploration game, where the player roams the environment in a non-linear way.

The game has no combat or set storyline, since the narrative is explored through NPC dialogue and environmental cues, such as remnants of an ancient civilization left to interpretation.

It emphasises simple puzzle-solving and discovery, traversing sand dunes and ruins. The mechanics are simple allowing for more of a focus.

The soundtrack for Sable was created by the musician Japanese Breakfast, and this is how I initially came across the game.

I had recorded some gameplay footage with an emphasis on experimenting with games sound, but it didnt record the audio.

The music in the game usually triggers in certain areas, like small ‘towns’ in the game, or areas where a specific gameplay moment occurs like a puzzle. When exploring the open world the music plays at random points, fading in and out.
