Hey there! Awesome to witness your reaction to our Frostpunk music - it's been all possible thanks to Piotr Musiał and his composing genius :) It'd be interesting to see your reaction to music from our other games but if Frostpunk tickled your fancy, we'e had the music come to vinyl as well. Have an awesome week ahead!
Will Piotr work on Frostpunk 2's Musical Score as well? :)
I can’t even imagine how good frostpunk 2 soundtrack will be im so hype for this
@@sasses967 really hope so. It added so much to the gameplay
Your team is one of my favorite development team up there with some of my favorites, Keep doing the good work on Frostpunk 2! Your games have influence my life tremendously I just want to say Thank you all!
Frostpunk: The City-Builder With a Boss Fight
Playing this game in the middle of the night, in winter, with the front door open and the whole house chilly is just *chef's kiss*
🤌
Да ты гурман
Can confirm, did this when it was -10 outside (wich is FREEZING COLD for belgium) but didnt do the front door open. It was amazing and immersive
Immersion. I play Frostpunk and Skyrim only in winter and some people laugh at me i get it tho ;p But i cant do this in any other season hahah
I just put my fan on max power and put it right next to me
"The track keeps growing with no climax, then seems to be slowing down, then it grows again."
There's a mechanic in-game where you can check the temperature in your city, you can see if it gets colder or if it gets warmer. The music embodies the feeling of the incoming and inevitable cold that's always approaching, and even when it gets warmer, it's still deadly cold. Brilliant.
Only -100 Degrees......on average.....Celsius
@@F4Wildcat -150°c
@@hellsonion514 Thats why i said "on average"
I can hear the winds howling as the stormfront draws near. I can see the hunting parties coming home and locking down their airships, likely never to launch again. I can see the scouts dragging their sleds back to the warehouses and locking the doors tight.
The temperature is dropping. The crops in the greenhouse die as the building freezes solid. Nobody can work for fear of losing limbs to frostbite. I sit and watch the Automatons stumble through the empty streets, terrified they will shut down and rob me of the last trickle of coal being eked out of the mines. The temperature is still dropping.
The generator is cranked up as far as we can take it, and yet the houses are still cold. I can see the overcharge meter growing as the generator is pushed beyond its limits in a desperate attempt to keep homes and medical facilities above freezing when the temperature drops again.
And there is nothing left I can do. Nothing. The engineers cannot develop any new heating or insulation systems because half of them are in the medical tents treating the sick and dying. The other half ARE the sick and dying. Even if they could work on research, we don't have the resources to implement new upgrades. Even if we did, anyone forced out of their homes during the upgrades would die in a heartbeat.
I'm going to have to turn off the overdrive soon or the generator will blow... and the temperature just dropped again.
I started the storm with over four hundred citizens. Fifty are dead already, and I just dropped the heat output by half. But there's no outrage, not this time. It's too late for that. Anyone who tried to leave would die. Anyone who took to the streets in protest would die. The storm has done what no amount of prisons, watchtowers or jackboots could do - it has crushed all dissent.
Half the city is dead now. Half of who remains will likely never see morning. But the generator is back on overdrive. I have just enough coal for another hour of life-sustaining heat, maybe two.
It's almost dawn. This has to be it! The storm can't get any worse! It has to end soon! I sit at my desk and I pray, in silent desperation, that with dawn shall come salvation. I can make it until dawn. I pray I can make it until dawn...
The wind stops. I slam the reactor down to low output as the world grows still. The temperature outside is still below freezing, but the sudden rise is so intense that for a moment I dare to dream that spring has come at last. In the stillness of the morning I take stock: our reserves are all but gone, and seventy percent of the population is dead. The corpses of the fallen fill the houses, the hospitals, the streets.
And yet that does not matter. For the storm has passed, and though it has been tested unto the brink of distaster... the City has survived.
So this comment and also the video made me play Frostpunk and holy moly its such a good game, I was only planning to play an hour, started at 9pm then i noticed it was 7am. Proud dictator and survivor of the -150°C storm with 475 people, but totally dead the next day (fortunately its Saturday). Thank you stranger for this comment and for Jesse for the video or i would have never played it.
@@zeev55 glad I could help introduce you to this wonderfully bleak and miserable game!
“This was the last thing that I was expecting from a game called frostpunk” Discontent falls. Hope rises.
Oh the ptsd D: temperature drops to - 150 degrees... Coal supplies are nearly depleted... Generator on the verge of exploding for being used in overdrive for too long... And The music only kept the feeling of Despair bigger and bigger
and the sound of people dying and i honestly at the end i just lost all hope that we all make it and all i did as spaming the generator to keep it on a little longer from 300 people to 68 at the end god
I just recently finished the New Home scenario and, although I knew what to expect with the storm, it lasted much longer than I had anticipated. Fortunately, I had greatly overprepared in terms of coal and could've lasted a week with just what I had in storage. I ended up abandoning two thirds of my coal production towards the end of the storm and left only one third running with automatons. I pushed the generator to it's limit, with it reaching 99% stress just as the storm ended. Miraculously, all 670 people in my city survived. It was truly an incredible experience. I've never felt quite so relieved as I did once the storm ended.
Oh boy... This song in game with the storm effects and the crackling of ice in the back ground is sooooo freaking good.
The perfect song to survive an apocalyptic winter man... I was screaming at the end of this game begging for the thermometer to stop dropping hahaha
Just love the fact that bits of the song sound like elements in the environment. From the strings sounding like the wind and the cellos joining with percussion to sound like beating machinery. Glorious.
The game that reveals how quickly you can rationalize to yourself the benefits of becoming an absolute monster lol
That discontent isn't gonna lower itself mein bro
Look, I may have the entire city's coal needs supplied by mass child labor but I'm telling you I don't have a choice. All the automatons are busy with important things like growing crops, cooking food, and treating the hundreds of people who get sick eating sawdust for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Idk I was just too curious, I needed to see what would happen if I clicked the evil button
Yea
In my Last autum when i got option if canibalism i was Like BRILIANT IDEA LETS DO IT
trade offer: 25 CHILDREN for ((( 7 HOURs of COAL at 91% Tier 4 Overdrive))) YOU MONSTER
Ah yes the boss music for a city builder
Boss implies a fight, this is just a beatdown and hoping the next punch dosent kill you
@@karlwes6273 There is that type of bosses.
Frostpunk is a game about battling the cold. As you play the environment gets colder and colder and colder and you have to do everything to keep your people as warm as possible. Occasionally there are massive blizzards that blow through, preventing you from leaving the base and drastically reducing the temperature even more for a few days. In certain scenarios these blizzards can be so insanely cold that people will freeze to death even with all of the heating technology in the game. Generally there isn't much to do during blizzards, you just hunker down and try your best to survive. The music that plays during the blizzards is fittingly intense. I'm not sure if this one plays during blizzards but it definitely sounds familiar.
The City Must Survive plays during The Great Storm in New Home scenario.
The Storm that, by the way, goes as low as -150 degrees Celsius.
For reference, *oxygen* becomes *liquid* at -183 degrees Celsius.
*send out the automatons!*
YESSSS!!! Hands down the most underrated soundtrack for a video game EVER. I have never felt as much despair and hopelessness as I have when playing this game.
This hit way harder for me going in blind on the game and somehow managing to beat this section.
All the lore builds up to this moment and that final blast of the horns is such a relief.
The ticking clock is just perfect. Really felt like every second of fuel and power counted. And every life sacrificed MATTERED. Few games make your decisions feel like they matter anymore.
Oh yeah man. Had no idea wha this was but somehow managed to clutch it on my first try. Exceptional euphoric high.
Frostpunk is a game where all civilization has fallen. You play as the leader for the last hope for humanity against the cold- a city named New London. Near the end of the game, you receive news that a deadly storm is coming- worse than everything New London has faced so far combined. Survival seems impossible, but since humanity will literally go extinct if New London falls, the citizens steel themselves against the coming storm, since The City Must Survive.
It's boss music. But there is no boss fight. No boss to fight, there is only the Storm bearing down on you and all you can do is try to weather through it.
The boss is the the apocalypse.
Had to come back and rewatch this with Frostpunk 2 coming out in July.
The boss is mother nature herself
FrostPunk is steampunk in the blistering cold, but the steampunk theme carries over heavily into the music, in particular the tracks Brave New World and Into the Storm, which you might appreciate.
I've had dreams of my lowly Captain, after all the atrocities he's committed for the greater good (or the suffering he's had to endure because he wouldn't cross the line) just standing there, next to the generator as people huddle together suffocating in their final moment. Where if they didn't hold out their torment before death was going to last minutes at best, hours at worst.
And then waking up because I left this song in loop before falling asleep.
Frostpunk really does "Remember that you're mortal." well.
'The Still, Cold World' is a really good Frostpunk Track as well
How I remember this track. A lot more drawn out in the game, and for good reason. Every pause in there is time for you to brace for the next peak of the storm, even though you came out of the last hit worse off than before, every single time. This is honestly the most hard hitting theme I have every encountered in a game. It just drives your nerves into such a pitch as you play, that when it dies down at the end you simply have to let out a shaky breath.
Whenever I play Frostpunk I always make sure to have a fan blowing on me. When the temperature drops, I crank the fan higher to make me feel even colder. When the Great Frost hits, I crank it to the highest setting it can go. Always need to wear a jacket when I play this brilliant game.
when people are telling you its so cold outside they can hear their thoughts u know its cold and while this music is playing the father that goes out to get his daughter and while this music is playing some how makes it back this game holds a lot of emotion and makes you feel like every decision you make is extremely crucial to survival
Oh my goooood yeeeeeees. I've loved everything you have responded to but this one hits different.
I'm a long time Final fantasy XIV player and I've played all the mainline Persona games but the first and Frostpunk is real special. What a great game with an amazing soundtrack.
Thanks Arthur!
Song mentioned in this video;
Vivaldi - Winter (The Four Seasons)

No problem! Glad you liked it, if you have the time I highly suggest listening to the rest of the st on your own time but I understand that maybe you might get other requests for it and have to wait a little, but make a note somewhere to listen to it haha
If you really like this I'd recommend you listen to "The Inevitable" or "New London Ultimatum" in your free time, they're both Frostpunk related, to be specific the DLC versions (The City Must Survive plays at the end of the A New Home scenario of Frostpunk, during a giant storm), or simply just relax to the other OSTs (Brave New World and Streets Of New London are up there in terms of recommended stuff). Spoilers for context
The Inevitable: It comes from the DLC "The Last Autumn" which, if you saw the giant machine in the middle of the music video, that's the Generator, which you're building in the DLC, it's a prequel. The Inevitable, and really all of TLA's soundtrack incorporates classical instruments with heavy machinery reminiscent of old steam locomotives. The music plays while you're waiting for a ship called The Icebreaker to save your Construction Team as the ocean you got to the Construction Site at is frozen over.
New London Ultimatum: The City Must Survive plays at the end of A New Home, the main scenario. The city itself is called New London. NLU takes place in the On The Edge dlc, where you're a New London Outpost. Basically the plot is that New London threatens you with starvation unless you send occasional expensive shipments that take days to prepare. Eventually you free yourself by telling them to pound sand and you get help from locals. At the end you either save New London or don't, and that's when NLU starts, where you either are preparing for a refugee wave or you're sending New London tons of supplies.
Never thought this kind of musical masterpiece came from a city building game
Such a good soundtrack definitely one of my favorites
One of my most favorite games ever! I played this first when they shut down Denmark, doing the COVID pandemic, and it got me through being sent home from work a lot more easily. It will always hold a special place in my mind. Fantastic score! 🙂
This is, without doubt, one of the best games I've ever played. The sheer desperation in the final few days when the city is on the brink of collapse, all of the heat is maxed out, the generator is on max overdrive, and it's still so cold your people are getting frozen just staying in their homes. Truly an unrivaled experience. I can't wait for the sequel
The only game I've ever played where the final boss is the weather AND has a boss theme
Kid: "Dad, why is my sisters name Rose?"
Bricky: "Because your mother loves Roses"
Kid: "Wow, thanks dad"
Bricky: "No problem, Violin-section-of-The-City-must-survive-song!"
I see we've both seen the same thing
Umm okay ok
I see, a fellow man of culture
@@Random_Tech-Priest Thank you, random Tech-Priest. May the Omnissiah bless you.
I'm glad you really liked it :D I do feel the whole playlist tells a story and reaching this had me almost in tears
God I know this is such a weird fucking connection but @1:45 when the string swell kicks in I was immediately reminded of Infinite White by Steve Jabolnksy from the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen OST. Goddamned it been a while. And this track is stubborn and cold where Infinite white if hopeful and wonderous and hot DAMN I LOVE HOW MUSIC CHANGES MOOD EVEN IF ITS THE SAME NOTES HHHHHH
Anyway I'm now going to listen to both of these things on repeat ty Jesse
Everyone remembers their first time hearing this track in game
this song is the epitome of dread, despair and stress to me. and i love it
Gosh this game was always so stressful playing just because of this music and the seconds that was the reason if I fail or not...
Found your reaction to "Noosphere" in my feed. I loved it, i immediately searched for your reaction to this song. Subscribed!
Man I love Frostpunk OST.
Its the perfect theme to portray stress, doom, and perseverence in a game where you cant do anything but watch and hope everything you built since Day 1 in the game survives a storm. Especially when everything goes to shit.
The campaign of the game ends with you facing the eternal cold. You either survive as the cold front blows through, or you freeze to death. You spend the entire game getting ready for this pivotal moment and there's nothing to do when it lands. You just have to sit there while this banger blares in your ears, hoping you did enough to survive. And you just have to watch it happen.
Into the storm is my favorite song on the track. The dueling melodies and pure dread in the end of the song is a chef's kiss.
"Dad, why is my sister's name Rose?"
"You see, your mom really likes roses, so when your sister was born, she named her Rose."
"I guess that makes sense. Thanks, dad!"
"No problem, String Section (at 3:45) of The City Must Survive dot mp three"

Only city builder i can think of that involves a fucking boss theme, i love it so much
In this game you have to make city survive no matter the cost
one of the best video game music ever!
I've only heard of this game, haven't played it, nice orchestral.... Medieval sounding tune, very mellow but filled with gravitas at the same time
I recommend playing this game, it is an amazing experience. This is essentially the boss music to the game, the climactic finale!
*Spoilers* Nothing encapsulates the feeling of fighting the end game storm off, trying to keep every last person alive on a no death run. The temperature gets lower, your hospitals are filled with the sick and you're just praying that the little sun icon will show up, that the storm will end, holding on as hope dwindles and discontent is about to overflow.
706 Survived, without crossing the line.
You mentioned retro music from much older consoles....there are certainly some bangers on there! I reccomend Tintin on the Moon by Jeroen Tel from the Commodore 64. The man is a wizard with the SID chip in that thing.
I would recommend "Construction Site" of The Last Autumn DLC. It's paced a lot slower than this but the intensity and depth is amazing
The build up to that scene/song was insane. That song is PTSD in a good way
Just watched, glad you liked it!
The game is a constant struggle for survival, and when the cold comes to hit you hard, playing this soundtrack without ever going for a climax, it just does a great job to make you wonder when this white hell will ever end.
Fantastic game, by the way. The music certainly adds to it.
It's super cool to see someone react to this! It's one of my favorite video game soundtracks because of how intense the actual moment is when it plays!
If i could make a suggestion, I think Miracle of Sound would be a great musician to react to. He makes amazing original songs about amazing games. Often metal, but no two songs are in the same exact style.
Liquid Nights & Disco Lights is his Disco Elysium song and it's on of my favorites: th-cam.com/video/7sAxhu04SlM/w-d-xo.html
I see you've done a bunch of Hades soundtrack too, so it would be cool to see you react to his Hades inspired song, Beyond These Walls: th-cam.com/video/SjVE2N6Ra04/w-d-xo.html
His Ghost Of Tsushima song, When Honor Dies, would be another good choice: th-cam.com/video/Y2UjZ2yIgzY/w-d-xo.html
Frostpunk: the only city-building game i can think of with a boss battle theme song
Brace yourselves, the frost is coming!
Please do also from Frostpunk, The Last Flame plus the main theme song of the game.
The City Must Survive is the closest you can get to a final boss theme in a city building simulator.
The game feels like a slog (fun tho) and the music is similarly merciless. Theres no happy songs at all and the music likes to keep repeating to remind you the crisis isnt just inevitable its happening right now.
This song pops up sometimes but it plays like the last 1/10th of the game where its just colder and colder and disaster after disaster but you try to get through it anyway.
When the city builder game has boss music~
Oh this game had awesome music, really added to the atmosphere
the final blizzard is here, the city must survive
If you have not played this game, it will be difficult to understand the emotions behind this music!
If you have planned everything perfectly(Which is extremely tough), this sounds like a battle when the temperature hits -190 Degrees!
However, if you haven't(Like medical or food or heat), then this same sound can be very haunting and tell you that the End is inevitable!
The graphics you saw, are the actual way the game looks like.
The best part about #frostpunk music is, it can change the way it feels depending on the way things are going!
Hope falling, discontent rising
if i may wish for a song: check out Wayward daughter from ff14, link: th-cam.com/video/wyJ4ksWBUH4/w-d-xo.html
It is my favorite song out of all of them (wich the game has a ton of bangers), is not something easy to say.
Yoo, you are so cool, keep doing it. I enjoyed watching it and I would like you to react to Dark Souls 3 OSTs. The best I heard of are "Slave Knight Gael", "Twin Princes", "Soul of Cinder", "Darkeater Midir". Please! And I am sure there is more amazing tracks to Frostpunk OSTs as well... (th-cam.com/video/ue5OgiUists/w-d-xo.html) And DOOM's - "Meathook" is best and "Cultist Base” which is so interesting and irregular thing and maybe "Super Gore Nest".
And yes, personally for me, Meathook is best compositionally among all DOOM songs like bfg division, only thing and etc. BECAUSE IT'S COMPLETE
"Growing with no climax"? I disagree, sir; the "eruption," the crescendo, begins at 4:04, peaks at 4:15, and ends at 4:25.
In my opinion, at least.
What's another song you suggest from this game?
If only the game had the CCP or SU set as a DLC scenario it could have been an easy mode of sorts. Communism in dystopia scenarios are fun.
.... you didnt notice the dystopia before and you want MORE? wake up dude. Order ending is literal orwellian society. Faith ending is H.P. Lovecraft fanaticism. and you want MORE? veritible Oliver.
you get to go full communism in the DLC with the workers union
just play the fucking game already. The song mixed with the feeling of urgency to save the city is awesome
