Description
This is an ambient and industrial soundtrack with some alternative and emo stuff too. The game is a horror exploration game where you have 1 night to explore a mysterious world you woke up in.

Message from the artist
hii! i hope you like it :}

Theme

Inside my world

How does it fit the theme?
The game concept is you waking up in a dark world where you meet strange people and strange creatures. You only have 1 night, and when you sleep, you wake back up to your own world. That strange world still lingers in the back of your mind, and you want to get back to it, but you can't.

hi i wish i had time to say more im rushing ratings but omg this is my new favorite, some incredible soundscapes on actually EVERY song you dont miss, great guitar and bass tones and mixing (respect for live stuff question mark), sleeping theme carry over, everything fits the theme and i want to play this game, its all so complete and cohesive, i need more ok great job byeeee

edit i have to give credit for the vocal mixing too you found that perfect reverb pocket of not being prominent and you can hear it clearly and i need an extended version pf last track now

Really good development of narration and ideas through your music! "It's a little dark..." set really well the tone of dark surroundings and the character lost in it. I like the way tracks that had to be violent ARE violent and those calm are too. Well done!

What the hell, this is incredible. Reeks of atmosphere - genuinely reminds me of something Akira Yamaoka would do.

Fantastic ambience - wonderfully oppressive and ominous when it needs to be, and disconcertingly eerie during the quieter sections. Varied choice of soundscapes and evolving atmospheres throughout.

Opening and Wandering have some really cool voicings and really caught my attention off the bat. 

Stealth has a great moody, oppressive vibe to it that only continues to build and build. The guitar-ish sounding synth in run goes incredibly hard, doubly so when dubbed over that strange drone - genuinely feels like some sort of battle/chase music á la the more experimental SH soundtracks.

Sleeping has some wonderfully creative and strange textures to it, I like how it just hangs there in the background and becomes melodic toward the end before transitioning into Credits, which is, again, right up Yamaoka's alley in terms of instrumentation and the inclusion of vocals.

Blown away by this. Absolutely love it - tight execution of the theme and very well produced. Was not expecting to come across an entry this dark and evocative of a composer I absolutely adore. Fantastic job, for real - I think this is my favorite submission as a whole.

I love ambient and dark ambient, so this was more up my alley. Loved the progression and the eerieness on the second track, The 4th track made me feel so uneasy. The only outliar is the 8th track imo, it sounded VERY loud for a credits theme.

Very underrated submission, one of the best I've heard.

Why in the hell do you only have 5 ratings?? Do me and yourself a favour and go rate others so you gain visbility! Insane work, I could literally see myself back in Silent Hill with the opening, the credits amazing, everything in between just slaps! Amazing!

Developer(+1)

yeah i probably should rate other people’s works again. tysm tho for listening !! :}

Try and go check the most rated games and see who commented, check the submission of everyone who rated, it means they are more likely to be active and actually rate you :) Nice job again!

God... This is definitely the best horror ambient I've heard on this jam!

The mix of ambient, industrial, art house is done wonderfully!

Each track is catchy, has its own unique notes and evokes wonderful emotions. The work itself is very emotional

A diamond!

tyyyyy :333 im so happy you like this

Holy mother of god... This is a hidden masterpiece. I went a bit light-hearted with my horror concept but you didn't pull any punches and went all in. Run is a FREAKING beast when it comes to percussions. Both the guitar and bass sound incredibly good, sounds like something that fits in PAYDAY: The Heist. That credit rocks HARD, the singing there is amazing, I love the harmonies in there also. The more ambient tracks I love as well. I feel like they convey a sense of loss and FOMO. As in after you wake up from the world, you think it was trying to tell you something important that you didn't grasp. Like you're missing something precious to you. That's just my interpretation though haha.

This needs more comments and ratings 4sure god...
