Description
[IMPORTANT NOTE]: I accidentally made tracks 8 and 9 mono during the mastering process. The versions on Soundcloud and YouTube have been updated, but I cannot update the downloads here on itch until after the rating period ends (or at least I think I can't 🙃)
When Amelia experiences a loss in the family for the first time, her imagination land is plunged into chaos by the personification of her grief, who calls themself The Unfortune.
This imaginary game sees you playing as Amelia. The gameplay bounces between a 3d puzzle-platformer inside of Amelia's imagination land and a series of minigames set in the real world, in which Amelia must complete otherwise mundane tasks that have become difficult thanks to the interference from imagination land's chaos. I honestly don't know what to say about the genre. It flows between EDM, alt rock and weirdcore I suppose.
And now: a track-by-track explanation.
1. Menu Theme
This song is the OST version of the song that plays in the main menu. It adds vocals and an intro to the in-game version.
2. Real World Theme
This song plays during the tutorial, as well as the main hub for the game (Amelia's house in the real world).
3. Cutscene 1 [TROUBLE IN HER WORLD]
I wanted this OST to be more album-y than the average submission, so I added two skits/interludes that serve as the audio tracks for cutscenes. In this cutscene, The Unfortune presents themself for the first time.
4. City Square
This song plays whenever the player is in imagination land's hub world - imagination city!
5. Trying To Do Homework
This song plays during a minigame in which Amelia has to finish her math homework while rampant clouds of daydreams block the screen. The player must click the clouds away while trying to solve math problems. This minigame is really poorly designed and nobody likes it.
6. 'Battle' Theme
This song plays during the tutorial for the turn-based combat that happens in imagination land. This game has no turn-based combat. This scene is a joke.
7. Safe Area
This song plays in the background of healing save zones. In the latter half of the track, the chaos in imagination land causes breakbeat drums to start playing in the middle of this soothing serenade.
8. Eugene's Theme
This song plays whenever The Unfortune's right-hand man Eugene Perl is on screen. There is no explanation as to who he is or what his deal is. He's just there.
9. Cutscene 2 [THE UNSHINIEST OF PERLS]
In this cutscene, Eugene is defeated in a humorous way. At first, it seems like a boss battle is about to begin, but then Amelia walks straight up to Eugene and bops him out a window.
10. Trying To Mow The Lawn
This song plays during a lawnmowing minigame. Amelia must mow her front lawn while trying to dodge trees and rocks while the chaos in imagination land causes her to randomly speed up and slow down. It's frustrating, but at least there's no math.
11. The Unfortune's Theme
This song plays whenever The Unfortune is on screen.
12. Menu Theme (In-Game Mix)
This is the version of the menu theme that appears in-game. Consider its placement in the track list as a bonus track.
Theme
How does it fit the theme?
The game and it's story enters the main character's world; her imagination world.
