Expanded soundtrack article with theme song details, musical style breakdown, and rhythm game context
The soundtrack of Neverness to Everness blends electronic and orchestral elements to complement the atmosphere of Hethereau, the game's urban setting. The music enhances the tension, wonder, and mystery that define the city, shifting between high-energy combat tracks and ambient urban soundscapes during exploration and daily life activities. The soundtrack reinforces the game's core duality: a modern metropolis that hides supernatural secrets beneath its surface.
The official theme song, titled "Neverness to Everness," is performed by RICORAY. The track was released on August 25, 2024, as part of RICORAY's album GAME WORLD (Track 10). The song runs 3 minutes and 53 seconds and is available on major streaming platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, and Shazam. The composer and lyricist is Akihiro Yoshida.

Hotta Studio released an official opening animation titled "Hypervortex Before the Storm" in June 2025. The animation features its own musical accompaniment that sets the tone for the game's supernatural urban narrative. The opening establishes the contrast between Hethereau's everyday city life and the anomalous forces that lurk beneath the surface, with the music shifting from calm urban ambience to intense, dramatic orchestration as the supernatural elements are revealed.
A separate trailer theme was used for the Containment Test closed beta announcement. This track, distinct from the main theme song, accompanied the game's first major beta reveal and set the tone for the supernatural urban setting. The closed beta trailer music leaned into atmospheric tension, reflecting the mystery of anomalies appearing in an otherwise normal city.
The in-game soundtrack reflects the duality of Hethereau. The music draws from several genres and styles to match the game's varied activities and tonal shifts:
Context | Musical Style |
|---|---|
Combat | High-energy electronic and orchestral tracks that intensify during anomaly encounters and boss fights |
Exploration | Ambient urban soundscapes with electronic undertones, capturing the feel of walking through a living city |
Daily Life | Lighter, more relaxed compositions accompanying shopping, cafe management, and social interactions |
Story and Cutscenes | Cinematic orchestral pieces that underscore the narrative's emotional beats and supernatural revelations |
Supernatural Shifts | Atmospheric, unsettling tracks that play when the environment transforms during anomaly events, contrasting with the normal city music |
Neverness to Everness features rhythm games as one of its Hethereau Hobbies mini-games. These rhythm-based activities use the game's music as part of the gameplay, giving players another way to engage with the soundtrack. Rhythm games are available as a leisure activity within the city, fitting alongside other entertainment options like Mahjong and arcade games. Specific details about which tracks are playable in rhythm mode and the scoring mechanics will be available at launch.
The RICORAY theme song is available for streaming on Spotify, Apple Music, and other major platforms. A full official soundtrack (OST) release has not been announced as of March 2026. The game's audio team and additional composer credits beyond Akihiro Yoshida have not been publicly detailed. This article will be updated with track listings and OST availability information as it becomes available after launch.
Note: Full composer credits and track listings will be added when official OST information is released.
