“I’m very proud to compile and press this soundtrack to vinyl,” Everist said. “Composing this score was the hardest thing I’ve ever done – a true labour of love that occupied my entire life for 3 years. I’m eternally grateful that Harebrained Schemes and Paradox Interactive allowed me to approach this score with the care and empathy I felt [its] incredible characters deserved.”
