BGMania B-Sides: Escape from Ever After
Sunday Feb 08, 2026
Sunday Feb 08, 2026
BGMania B-Sides #41 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. Today on the show, Bedroth steps into Escape from Ever After, a recently released indie title that twists classic fairy tale imagery into something far more eerie, introspective, and emotionally charged. What begins as a familiar storybook setup slowly unravels into a dreamlike escape, where whimsy and unease exist side by side and nothing quite feels as safe or predictable as it should.
The soundtrack mirrors that tonal shift beautifully, blending delicate melodies, melancholic textures, and subtly unsettling atmospheres that feel hand-stitched to the game’s world. Soft instrumentation gives way to darker harmonic turns, creating music that feels reflective, fragile, and quietly tense without ever becoming overwhelming. It’s a score that invites you to linger, to feel the weight behind the fantasy, and to sit with the uneasy question of what “happily ever after” really means once the curtain is pulled back.

Musical Review: MIO: Memories in Orbit
Sunday Feb 01, 2026
Sunday Feb 01, 2026
Bonus Episode #62 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. Today on the show, Bryan explores The Vessel, a massive derelict spaceship where nature and technology collide in MIO: Memories in Orbit, the atmospheric Metroidvania from French indie studio Douze Dixièmes. As the nimble android MIO, players traverse overgrown corridors and industrial ruins to restore the ship's lost memories before total shutdown.
This Musical Review dives into the game's remarkable 75-track soundtrack composed by Nicolas Gueguen. We explore how its ambient textures, layered synths, and live choir vocals create a haunting atmosphere that guides emotion and discovery throughout the journey. Bryan also discusses the fluid traversal mechanics, environmental storytelling, and memorable boss encounters that make MIO a standout example of how sound design can elevate exploration into something deeply personal and meaningful.

Sunday Jan 25, 2026
BGMania B-Sides #40 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. Today on the show, Bedroth drops into Tetris Battle Gaiden, the Japan-exclusive Super Famicom spin-off that takes Tetris in a wildly unexpected direction, trading pure abstraction for colorful characters, elemental themes, and head-to-head puzzle combat that feels equal parts playful and intense.
Packed with bright melodies, bouncy rhythms, and a surprising amount of personality, Tetris Battle Gaiden’s soundtrack leans into upbeat synths, jazzy progressions, and arcade-sharp hooks that keep the energy high without ever feeling stressful. Each character theme adds its own flavor, turning familiar falling blocks into a lively musical showdown where competition feels expressive and endlessly replayable rather than cold or mechanical.
