After six months of development I’m excited to announce that the soundStrider beta—its largest update yet—has arrived!
In the Mountain palette, players will ascend to treacherous heights to enjoy chance music produced by standing bells and wind chimes. With its new mouse controls its procedurally generated worlds can be traversed in entirely new ways. And a remix of every sound ensures they can be enjoyed across a variety of audio setups.
soundStrider is an auditory exploration game, psychedelic walking simulator, ambient music generator, and relaxation tool. Explore its worlds at your own pace, save bookmarks of your favorite locations, and revisit them for meditation, studying, or sleep.
To celebrate its beta release, please enjoy a new trailer:

From the latest shiftBacktick blog post:
Graduating to beta is only the first step toward realizing the soundStrider experience. The main objective of its alpha was to finish its environmental sounds and lay a foundation for Adventure mode. Leading up to its late-June release will be a handful of beta updates that implement new quests, enhance existing ones, and prepare its remaining launch features.
This milestone would not have been met without your support. Don’t forget that the price of soundStrider will be increasing to $9.99 USD when it launches on Steam. Your purchase here will grant early access to the beta and comes with a Steam key.
In the meantime, please leave your favorite bookmarks below and wishlist soundStrider on Steam. Thanks for playing!
