The closest sound that springs to thoughts for me is the music of 2022’s excellent Tunic⁠—that loopy good Zelda-like the place you play an lovely little fox.

It comes with that basic, lengthy YouTube music video accompaniment of a subject-appropriate character within the lo fi hip hop woman setup. On this case, it is Esoteric Ebb’s completely behelmeted cleric essential character performing some gentle studying as the town past goes via a full day-night cycle.
