iam8bit’s special album features tidy and messy options, depending on how its jacket is oriented
iam8bit is proud to announce that it’s bringing A Little to the Left‘s playful soundtrack to homes everywhere – regardless of how tidy or cluttered those listening spaces may be. iam8bit’s A Little to the Left Vinyl Soundtrack, created in close collaboration with two-person indie studio Max Inferno and publisher Secret Mode, impishly leans into what made it a cozy puzzling classic. It’s available for pre-orders starting September 28 on iam8bit.com for $31.99.
The A Little to the Left Vinyl Soundtrack features 8 tracks from composer and artist Justin Karas stamped on “Tidy Taupe”-colored vinyl. It’s tucked into cleverly designed packaging with illustrations from Paul G. Hammond that pay tribute to the game’s satisfying conceit: The jacket’s reversible sides slide into the die-cut cover, showing objects neatly arranged or haphazardly shuffled depending on how the listener is feeling at the moment.
“I’ve always loved that cozy snow-day feeling.. where you get to be home with no obligations instead of rushing about,” Justin says. “I wanted this soundtrack to offer that same sentiment; inspired to live slowly and in the moment. I’m so thrilled that anyone who has enjoyed the game and its music can bring this into their homes, and I hope it can offer a moment of tranquility and playfulness into their day.”
A Little to the Left captivated players with its playful blend of soothing organization and clever puzzle mechanics. Sometimes success is as simple as straightening a few lopsided picture frames or organizing a chaotic junk drawer. Other puzzles are gentle head-scratchers, encouraging experimentation and offering multiple solutions. It’s a game that sticks around in your brain even when you’re not playing, like a cozy variant of the Tetris effect. iam8bit’s vinyl soundtrack invites listeners to stay in that headspace a little longer, finding inspiration in unexpected ways.
“Imagine that! The lovely fans of our game, busy at home sorting cutlery, pushing books into neat alignment, and re-making the bed to mimic a curious quilt pattern… all to the tune of A Little to the Left playing in the background,” say Max Inferno’s Lukas and Annie. “That image brings us incredible joy! We look forward to the stories that will undoubtedly emerge, of the daily discoveries from real-life homes suddenly chock-full of puzzles hidden in plain sight.”
