Music

The background music (a.k.a. mood) is a device used to hint at certain events that are happening in your vicinity, or to act as ambience within the rings and other areas. Music that indicates specific oddities or any hostiles also can be seen visually through enabling the Visual Audio Cues option in the accessibility settings. Any tracks listed here will use the names from the ΔV: Rings of Saturn - Original Soundtrack album whenever possible. Tracks without a Spotify link will be instead linked to the Steam page, and variants not currently in the soundtrack will only be mentioned by filename, and will not have audio links.
