Sammy Pak's Theme
Sammy Pak's Theme plays when first meeting Sammy in the Factory Hotel, as well as during conversations related to her. It was composed by Calum Bowen. Its motif is used in a few other songs, such as KNN and MFAR - Sammy's Theme -Mistaken Identities Remix-.
It was featured on the YIIK: A Postmodern RPG Official Soundtrack and YIIK (Greatest Hits Vol.2).
Earlier Version[edit | edit source]
A theme for Sammy was originally written by Tony Manfredonia, but lead composer Andrew Allanson felt that it did fit with how they wanted Sammy to be perceived. Instead, he had Calum Bowen create the current version. Andrew strongly desired to have another composer do her theme, but now doesn't remember specifically why.[1]
The song features a more spooky feel compared to the calm, relaxing track Calum Bowen made.
Despite being meant to be removed, the song still plays during a conversation with Rory at the water tower.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- The old version of the song is labelled as "NotsAMMYSthEMEdONTuSEthIS".
- Andrew said in 2019 that alongside Carry On, Sammy's Theme was one of his personal favorite tracks from the game.[2]

- ↑ Andrew Allanson on YIIKcord - "It had an interesting vibe, but ultimately it was too dissonant compared to how we wanted the character to be perceived when you first meet her. So, once I knew what I wanted the player to feel, I asked Calum to take a swing at doing a version of her theme. I don't remember why I didn't want to attempt it myself, but I recall feeling pretty strongly that someone else should do her theme."
