Arco Soundtrack (2024) — Composer, Score & Where to Stream

Arco Soundtrack: Arco is a 2024 Western-themed turn-based tactical RPG made by an international indie team — Polish pixel artist Franek Nowotniak, Australian game developer Max Cahill, Spanish composer and sound designer José Ramón "Bibiki" García, and Mexican developer Antonio "Fayer" Uribe — and published by Panic Inc.

Set in a fantasy alternate version of the frontier-era Americas, the game follows four native protagonists pursuing separate vendettas against the ruthless Red Company, with a "guilt" system that reflects the player’s choices back onto the story. It was praised by critics for its art style, combat system, and setting.

Score & Composer

The Arco score was written by Spanish composer and sound designer José Ramón "Bibiki" García, who also handled the game’s sound design. García released the score as a 64-track Deluxe Edition album on Bandcamp on the game’s launch day, August 15, 2024, and it has since been split into multiple volumes on Spotify and Apple Music under the artist credit "Bibiki" / "José Ramón 'Bibiki' García." The score blends atmospheric, folk-inflected instrumentation with tense combat cues that shift between the game’s three interwoven storylines.

Note: at the time of writing, no scene-by-scene music cue sheet for Arco has been published, so the selections below are drawn directly from the official Deluxe Edition tracklist rather than an invented scene guide.
