Secret of Evermore has a great, moody soundtrack that I'm sure would be a way bigger deal in video game music history if it hadn't been released shoulder to shoulder with the best video game soundtracks of all time. Let's take a look at the soundtrack and see how it creates such a poignant atmosphere.
