Description
Genres: Cyberpunk, Synthwave, Trance, Electro
The game this soundtrack is for is a story based rhythm game that features a mage as the main character. This mage lives in a city called Neohaven. The city is in a power struggle between guilds of powerful mages. The lower class relies on these guilds for their daily existence, like big corporations or gangs. The mage starts as being a lower time wizard / wizard in training. This mage in particular always had an affinity in fire magic, but due to the working conditions in the energy guild, preferred to become a time mage. Because they never learned how to use their fire magic, it is basically uncontrolled flame. When the mage’s family is killed by criminals, the mage demands that the higher wizards allow him to go back in time and stop this atrocity. The mages deny his request, so he begins doing his own research. This eventually leads to his removal from time wizards guild for attempting to learn illegal magic. In a fit of rage, the mage tries to fight back with his fire magic, to gain an explosive edge over the time wizards, but completely burns his body in the process. Presumed dead, the burnt mage’s body is discarded by the time wizards.
Each song represents a small part of this plot, as well as a season in this fantasy world
Burning Nights: This represents a season similar to polar night. In this season there is no sunlight, so fire mages create fake suns to allow for plant growth. This also sets the tone of the cyberpunk corporate fantasy world.
Searing Rain - This is the rainy season in this world. It rains a harsh and acidic rain constantly, many people choose not to go outside during this season. The rain is highly acidic due to magic residue in the air. This song shows the loss the mage feels and the beginning of his research into illegal time magic.
Kindling Harvest - In this season farmers harvest their crops and burn their remaining fields to improve the soil nutrition and absorb the toxicity from the rain. This song represents the explosive fight the mage has and his eventual death.
Message from the artist:
I hope you guys like aggressive electronic dance music :)
Theme:
How does it fit the theme?
Each song is themed around a season that exists in the fantasy world the game takes place in. Each of these seasons is also based on a real season , just not the traditional 4 seasons. The seasons they are based on are Polar Night, Monsoon Season, and Autumn or Harvest Season
