And that couldn't have been done without the right type of music. And now you can listen to the soundtrack where ever you go. And when ever you are feeling relaxing, start playing flower music for that perfect mood.
Flower soundtrack will be available on PSN and iTunes very soon. A price has not been announced yet, but probably less then the game.

"thatgamecompany co-founder Jenova Chen is intensely passionate about his upcoming PlayStation Network release “Flower” and the impression he hopes it leaves on the people who interact with it, even going so far as to say “Flower” should inspire them to feel better about themselves.
Sometimes I feel relieved and happy after taking out a few ghouls in “Gears of War 2,” but video games are largely stress-based affairs. Not “Flower,” though. “Flower” intends to be the opposite...."

Like the Flash game, the design, the artistic style, it's all there. So the first project we did was more like, we needed to learn how to use PS3, and we need to buff up the look and the sound to make it look like a PS3 game.
So Flower is th..."
FlOwer made its debut at TGS this year. The game is being created by the same developers that made flOw for PSN. When the trailer appeared, which can be seen here, it didn't show much. But now the Dev's speak out saying that the game has a lot to do with music much like flow was. Also it involves growing flOwers. But no word on how it is done. The game is set to release in 2008.
