About the game the composer says:

“One of our goals was to stay as true as possible to the musical vocabulary set down in the Alien movies by Jerry Goldsmith, James Horner and Elliot Goldenthall. These movies, and their scores which I listened to so many times, meant so much to me as a budding composer, who saw (and was freaked out by) the Alien movies in the dome theaters of San Jose. We wanted to capture as much of that unique dread Alien atmosphere as we could. Naturally we added a more modern approach as well as featuring instruments not available to the above Alien(s) composers. When gamers play this game, we want the listeners to be sonically plunged again into the bowls of the Nostromo or the shattered hallways of Colony LV-426. However in this game, we have some new locations with a similar feel to what we saw in in the Alien(s) movies. I think the true hardcore fans of the Aliens franchise will be pleased with what we have composed.“
