A composer only has to play through a game once it's completely finished I think, so they can test and see if everything's going right with the sound and stuff.
I wouldn't say that's entirely true actually. Although, it's not as if I'm really late playing this game, bearing I wouldn't even call this a demo yet. I need to play the game as it's being made to get a feel for the story, and kind of emotions I want to be portraying in my music. Sure, I could try to compose something with a rough brief like: "A dark mysterious cave", but It's incredibly useful to know the emotions that I feel whilst playing it musicless, so that I can emphasise those emotions. I can't really get a feel for what it should be like by simply hearing the story or even reading the script.
aaand I was about to write a whole essay, then I realised that I should get some sleep & nobody actually wants to read that much.
I had no idea I cared this much about composing x)
