Polyarc today announced that players with a VR headset on PC can now continue Quill’s adventure in Moss: Book II via Steam, $29.99. Critically acclaimed upon its release on PlayStation VR and Meta Quest 2 earlier this year, Moss: Book II is considered one of the top contenders for VR Game of the Year and is on many essential and must-play lists. In addition to today’s announcement on Steam, Polyarc is also submitting the official soundtrack (OST) for Moss: Book II to the new Grammy category « Best Score Soundtrack for Video Games and Other Interactive Media. »
« The Moss franchise has quickly become a « must-play » for all VR users with its unique approach to first-person/co-op gaming, absolutely stunning environments, and storytelling and characters that are as rich as real life, » said Doug Burton, Senior Designer, Polyarc. « Gamers have been asking for Steam support since Book II launched, and now we’re able to bring them the experience they’ve been patiently waiting for on their favorite headsets. And we can’t wait to hear what they think. »
While Book II picks up the Moss story where it left off, Polyarc takes what made the first Moss so special, with a balanced mix of gameplay and emotional storytelling that leads players through triumphs and heartbreak. Book II deepens the story, setting and characters of Moss, while giving players more ways to interact, more tools to play with and even more world to explore. The Steam version allows Index, Meta Rift, Meta Quest and Meta Quest 2 (with Quest Link) players, and HTC Vive users are already enjoying the title, which players have been raving about since its initial release earlier this year. The original platinum-selling Moss is available for $19.99 on all platforms.
The official soundtrack (OST) for Moss: Book II is up for the Grammys. Two-time BAFTA award-winning composer Jason Graves returns to score Quill’s new adventure with his elegant, heartfelt and thematic score. The soundtrack features Graves on solo piano, acoustic guitars and Celtic harp, with additional instrumental performances by Kristin Naigus (Irish whistles, flute, oboe, English horn), Reinoud Ford (cello) and Tom Strahl (bouzouki, oud). Listen to the OST here.
« The original Moss holds a very special place in my heart and Moss: Book II is an extremely personal score, » said Graves. « I added new instruments to the ensemble, put together a small ‘pub band’ of soloists to emphasize Quill’s heroism and sorrows, and even acquired a beautiful grand piano that is the heart and soul of the score, performing most of the lines live on the piano, then adding other instruments to flesh out the themes. I hope this soundtrack will bring players back into the magical world of Moss with every listen. »
The soundtrack consists of 17 in-game tracks for over 140 minutes of music. The first three tracks – « When One Door Shuts, » « The Starthing’s Way » and « The Winter Glass » – can be heard now on Bandcamp. Soundtrack collectors and fans of physical versions can pre-order a limited run of premium CD and vinyl albums on Materia Collective and Bandcamp now.
