1:16 = best music in the game. And the one you’ll hear the most, no doubt.
”SUICIDE WON’T HELP IN YOUR QUEST”
Epic soundtrack. But I miss the fantastic loop from the ending scenes.

But then again the whole soundtrack is creepy… But also really cool.
0:41 scares me a bit. Why? One word: NAVGTR.
¨You thrust your sword into your chest¨
¨Suicide won’t help you in your quest!¨
lesser-known death quote
reminds me of uninvited
Rope spelled backwards. Speak this incantation and the rope on the full will rise up so you can climb to the next level.
don’t you mean Deja Vu?
WHere the hell in castle Shadowgate was there ever a god damn pool table
Not legitimately.
Epor?
0:40 sounds a bit like Mahler symphony No7 1st part
’seppuku’.
Haha yeah, many great memories from this game..most of which involved me dying.
Great music. And there were so many spots in that game that had me scratching my head for a long time.
My fondest memory of this game was committing sekkapu with a pool cue. That was hilarious.
2nd song is a ubiquitous chip classic
HAHA!! That’s hilarious!
The music says you will be scared but you will have fun.
No other way to describe that last song other than pure dread.
I used to have it on my phone… for when my parents called.
1:40 is the start of the only song in this game that doesn’t give me goosebumps.
What are you talking about? That song is awesome! It’s creepy and is fitting for the atmosphere of the game, IMO.
