TOKYO, JAPAN - 31 August 2023:
About "OU"
The place is U-chronia, a hazy world that lives in hazy memories of
the distant past. OU, a young boy, wakes up in a dried up riverbed without any memories
of his own. He meets Zarry, an opossum with a flaming tail, who guides him on a
journey to find out his story.
The Saudade Specter, who haunts the boy; Gemini, who looks just like him; The Weeping Woman "La Llorona", who leads him to tragedy. All of them are there to change the Story and how it will end.
A pen-drawn world reminiscent of the illustrations in children's literature, accompanied by music for guitar and other instruments ripe with nostalgia for an old hometown. This is the background where the Story, a story meant for someone, unfolds.
"OU" disguises itself as something else－an adventure game－to meet and interact with reality.
OU is also a challenge?a challenge to games as a whole.

"OU Original Soundtrack" is Available on Steam®
"Delicate Blooming Melodies"
The original soundtrack includes all of the music used in the game. It includes the pieces for one guitar played during the first part of the game, as well as the songs that follow later on when wind, string, and percussion instruments all join in to underscore the story's progress. There are two versions of the theme song "Like Magic", sung in Japanese and in English by Hana Miketa, with her sweet and melodious
voice accompanied by a full ensemble. All songs were composed by Daisuke Shiiba, a former Nintendo composer who is now a freelancer and has worked on such games as "From_." and "World for Two." His graceful and nostalgic compositions make this album the perfect souvenir to bring back from your trip to U-chronia.
