Disturbing Video Game Music 30: Screamer
1,549World of Goo has a very atmospheric soundtrack, which is strange because of how simple the game's concept is. Some of the music in the game is so atmospheric it's downright unsettling, but this particular theme takes the cake. It just... creeps me out. It sounds like a very "downer" tune, and it's complete with a bell that rings every now and then. But it's the second loop of the song that creeps me out most, where the main part of the song is altered in a way that makes it sound like a violin having its strings stroked down with a razorblade...
This song also plays in levels that sort of fit the music - one time it plays in a heavy rainstorm, and another time it plays in a level where you have to blow up a robot with disturbingly blank eyes. In general this music track never ceases to make my spine tingle.
