puzzles and progress in this fantastic mechanical world.

internationally renowned electronic music prodigy Jon Hopkins,
known for his work on the sci-fi hit "Monster" and collaboration
with top artists like Coldplay, Brian Ino and Imogen Heap. Using
a custom music engine, Vessel remixes the tracks dynamically to
reflect the player's progress in gameplay, providing subtle cues

developers collaborating online across the world, two in Seattle
