A decaf for Akira
« The aesthetic and vibe of Silent Hill played a crucial role in the creation of Decarnation. So, having the opportunity to receive the generous help of the talented master Yamaoka-san is a huge honor. Decarnation incorporates elements of Japanese culture, which makes Yamaoka-san’s participation all the more rewarding. His musical compositions are a mixture of instrumental, mechanical and organic sounds which are truly impressive. Alongside our main composer, Corentin Brasart, we never tire of listening to Yamaoka-san’s creations. Even nearly 25 years after the first Silent Hill game, Yamaoka-san continues to reign supreme as a creative genius. », rejoices Quentin De Beukelaer, creative director of Decarnation.
« I am delighted to have been able to participate in the development of Decarnation, which draws its inspiration from works that are extremely dear to me, such as The Blind Beast by Edogawa Rampo. It’s one of my favorite novels, and it inspired many of my personal creations. In many ways, Decarnation reminds me of this work, and I have developed a special bond with this game. I sincerely hope that players enjoy it as much as I do! says Akira Yamaoka.
