He made the soundtrack to one of 2025's most special games: Alpha Chrome Yayo from Belfast worked on Kaizen Game Work's Promise Mascot Agency. We interviewed the artist about making game music, the best game soundtracks and his favourite ways to work.
Hello! I'm Alpha Chrome Yayo, or ACY. I make vibey music for cool games, and other awesome projects.
I'm based in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and delighted to be talking to you - cheers for having me!
GamesMarkt: Lead us into the interview with a soundtrack: What one music piece of yours are you most proud of and why?
In terms of my own musicianship there are quite a few I could pick from, but what really makes me proud is the effect my music has on people.
There's a track that plays near the start of Promise Mascot Agency, and I've heard a lot of people saying they've driven round in-game listening to it for hours, even parking up the kei truck, turning up the volume and sitting back on the sofa with a drink to enjoy it. That is so unbelievably cool, and the greatest compliment.
It's also really special to me as we were able to bring one of my favourite singers, NOZ, on board for vocals. She is incredible, and her performance is spellbinding.
So yeah, it makes me very proud. Not just because I love the track, but because it was a collaborative effort that holds a special place in many hearts.
It's called Promises Lost (Promises Found).
