Description
I honestly genuinely don't know what genre this is. Experimental? Electronic? Ambient? Space? Soundtrack? Soundtrack it is then. XD

So the imaginary game I’m composing for sets in a civilization off of Earth, with space travel being a thing already. The entire premise of the game is to explore the universe and deliver letters and parcels across star systems. This is until something supernatural happens to the player which makes the character experience episodes of what seems to be the player's memories, which the player proclaims does not remember ever happening. After each episode, the player then gets stuck in a short time loop. The player must uncover the truth behind this and why this happens by looking at the letters, who they were from and who they are delivered to.
The reason why is because the player's descendants were actually from another parallel universe, who escaped to the following universe because in their original universe, it was somehow broken. This means the player carries a discrepancy from another parallel universe, which then causes weird things to happen, thus breaking the universe they are currently in, forcing the player to escape to another different parallel universe where the player does not exist, completing the cycle. This is why it's called Time & Time Again.
Some inspirations includes Outer Wilds, Gris, Celeste, Stardew Valley, and Violet Evergarden (for some reason).

For my DAW I used Garageband... on my iPad. Now hold it right there, I know I know it's the DAW for amateurs, but you know what? I am an amateur.
Message from the artist:
So yeah I joined my own jam. I hope you don't mind. Also now I can see why people say the jam is very fun XD. I honestly enjoyed it very much, and no I didn't plan on joining in the first place, but just seeing all of you share your snippets of the soundtrack on Discord makes me have the fear of missing out. So yeah I hope you enjoy it. Thank you.
