Hello Kitty Island Adventure offers a Sanrio-themed take on the cozy genre, transporting players to an island where they can live among their favorite characters. The Apple Arcade title comes from developer Sunblink, which previously released the card-battling MOBA HEROish, with Sanrio serving as publisher. Though the game has received praise from critics and players for a myriad of different qualities, one element that stands out the most is its diverse soundtrack.
The core premise of the game revolves around a roster of Sanrio characters fixing up an old theme park on a remote island, where players will work to spruce up the area to entice new residents, build vacation homes, and more. As players go about their days and nights in Hello Kitty Island Adventure building friendships with villagers, crafting, cooking, and exploring, the surrounding sounds will adapt in unique ways. The game’s map contains several different biomes with their own style of music, and the soundtrack also shifts as the game cycles through day and night.
Screen Rant sat down with Hello Kitty Island Adventure composer Phil Boucher to discuss his creative process, the challenges of making such a dynamic soundtrack, and his favorite recording moments.
Screen Rant: I really liked how the music was so adaptive to the different areas in the game – I’m curious about your creative process behind taking all these different biomes and deciding the sounds for each one, what each sort of soundscape should be.
It has such a fun myriad of instruments, too, like a washtub bass and a marimba, that sort of thing. What was the sort of journey like behind selecting all of these different unique tools and getting the right lineup for what you needed?
