Description
Ephemerous' soundtrack was heavily inspired by games like Kirby, Celeste and Undertale, taking notes from the fast-paced melodical themes. The songs were made entirely in FL Studio.
1. Recollection
This is the title screen theme, simple but contains the 2 main game leitmotifs.
2. Joy of Past Flowers
For stage 1, this takes place in a nostalgic, happy memory the protagonist wants to hold on to.
3. Point of Uncertainty
For stage 2, in this stage the player is going through a memory from somber times, that kind of intrusive thoughts you remember past midnight.
4. Drowning Wings
For a brief time, the main character goes through a peace of mind, like swimming in a sea with lots of happy memories. However, that peace is quickly interrupted by anxiety from remembering a trauma, and now it feels like drowning in the open sea.
5. Ephemerous
Track for the final stage, it is the culmination of everything the character went through in the game while trying to come to terms with their own trauma instead of running away from it.
Message from the artist
With love.
Theme
Inside my world
Picture theme
How does it fit the theme?
The idea for Ephemerous came from looking to the picture theme with the "Inside my world" perspective in mind. What I interpreted from the image was a person, presumably a depressive adult, looking down to their childhood in search of good memories, remembering of the good times. The game then would take place inside their soul, their mind, their world, while they go through different memories (good and bad ones) trying to find answers for their mental health struggles.
