Ok, wowzers. I'm really liking the instrumentation it's really amazing. I love how you have different textures rising and dissolving most notable in "Frostbyte" heart. The brass section that comes in on "Second wind" was crazy. I like how you continue using it in "Daemon." I also really like the return of the original sound and thematic material from "Digital Lovers" in "Digital Summers." This is just really such an awesome ost. I would 100% def play this game for the ost. My only problem as cheesy as it sounds is I just wish the tracks were longer, I really wanted to be in each soundscape more. Altho I def got that w/ "Digital Summers." It was like a grand put together w/ the harmonic function in the strings. Really well done! It reminds me of an epic version of something the piano guys would do.

Description
Astrologers proclaim this winter will be the longest in recorded history, lasting years or even decades. Fresh off an online romance, a young teen hero must embark on a journey to bring back the sun, stir his digital lover out of her seasonal depression, and finally meet in person under the summer sky.
Game Title: Digital Lovers
Music Genre: Electro Pop / Ambient
Game Genre: Adventure
The soundtrack to Digital Lovers features a hybrid of electronic and acoustic textures, including guitars, brass, and piano. It was created in Logic using a variety of synths and sampled instruments.
The 6 tracks loosely follow the story of falling in love, setting out on an adventure through snow and ice, struggling to overcome obstacles along the way, and returning home again.
The amazing cover art was drawn by my incredible partner!
Message from the artist:
While I have a few vivid scenes and images in my head, I am hoping to leave the details of the journey ambiguous. It's my hope that you, the listener, will take inspiration from the songs, titles, and lovely artwork by Chloé Le Moing, to paint your own imaginary story to go along with this imaginary game!
Enjoy!
Theme:
How does it fit the theme?
The story follows the hero's quest to banish an endless winter and bring back the summertime. I wanted to focus on these two seasons to highlight their contrast - the times of the year with the most and least sunlight, and how this affects us mentally and emotionally. Plus it reduces scope ;)
