Monument Valley 3 Original Soundtrack is hosted on Steam, with streaming on Spotify and Amazon Music Unlimited. Music and audio design is by co-composers Todd Baker and Lucie Treacher.

Baker's Deep Dive videos are streaming on the composer's YouTube channel. The presentations unpack the design of the navigation 'ping' sound, which shifts contextually to reflect changes in the puzzle game's music and narrative, and the Mandala sequences concluding each chapter are constructed and implemented.

Both co-composers discuss the design of interactive music in a special half-hour installment of the video series.
