Sound Without BGM: Why Stretch Has No Music

If you noticed something missing while playing the demo of Stretch, you’re not wrong — there’s no background music. Not a single track.

Instead, the entire game relies on ambient sounds and sound effects. Wind blowing through empty classrooms. Birds chirping during a lunch break. The hum of fluorescent lights over a late-night study scene. It’s not a bug — it’s a choice.

We wanted the world of Stretch to feel more like memory than media. Music often tells you what to feel. Ambient sound lets you decide. It’s quiet, sometimes awkward, often nostalgic — just like real adolescence.

That said, there is one piece of music in the game: the theme song, “A Constellation-less After School.” But you’ll have to make it to the end to hear it.
