Really proficient use of orchestration to define the different seasons while having enough in common to tie the work together. Very impressive.

Description
Year-Long Journey is an action-adventure game where you play as a brave young girl Misty and her little dog named Jack.
One night, a mysterious person who looks like no one you've ever met comes to your village. They say that in exactly one year the village will be struck by a disaster. They then give you a piece of paper and leave.
People in the village don't seem to believe this story and quickly forgot about it, however, something tells you that person wasn't lying.
There is a legend about season spirits that have been helping people around the world since ancient times...
That piece of paper turned out to be a map with four locations marked.
Believing that there is still hope for the village, you and your dog go on a year-long adventure to find each season spirit and convince them to save your village from the mysterious disaster.
I tried to keep the same leitmotif in each song to make them feel connected, like one whole story.
I didn't have enough time to make an ending song, so the game's ending is free for interpretation :)
Every song is made in FL Studio.
Four songs represent a home of each spirit:
Winter - chilly ice castle
Spring - abandoned clock tower
Summer - sunny beach
Autumn - enchanted forest
Theme:
How does it fit the theme?
I think this OST fits the theme and picture perfectly, since the story is about a girl finding season spirits.
