BGMania B-Sides #36 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. Today on the show, Bedroth ventures into the windswept fields and mystical frontier of Windswept, the newly released indie adventure that’s already capturing hearts with its gentle worldbuilding and evocative score.
Crafted with a focus on exploration, emotion, and atmosphere, Windswept invites players into a land shaped by ancient spirits, drifting memories, and the quiet pull of destiny. Composed by Patrick Crecelius and Zach Fendelman, known together as Fat Bard, its soundtrack carries that spirit beautifully. It layers warm acoustic textures, airy synths, and intimate melodic themes to create a soundscape that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly new.

Ooooh, now what is this madness. From the go, I got a fresh feeling from this episode due to the nature of the music. We always talk about how some VGM tracks can be monumental with the way that they sound. However, sometimes, a simplistic yet charming approach to a soundtrack is always welcomed by many. This game, but that note and many more throughout the episode, so thank you, gentlemen. This is another one of those jams you guys always surprise us with.
