Love the jungle music! You did a great job with the mixing and overall sound design, and you also did a great job with the art as well! My favorite of the two was "Azure Coral Shopping Center." Great job!

The story takes place in an alternate reality, almost our present, but with a larger range of incredible cool-technologies.
Unfortunately, there is also a high increase in addicted people to be constantly online on their social networks.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You play as one of the members of a special unit (Psy-Crew), which uses unique technology to detect so-called Psy-Monsters (code name for these creatures), which cannot be seen normally with your own eyes. The Psy-Crew wears special glasses that allow them to locate these monsters and also use special capture discs that, upon contact with the creature, pull them into the disc.
Psy-Monsters are mental apparitions (Which look like small primitive creatures),
created by each of us who use mobile devices unhealthy and above all visit social networks on a large scale.
NOTES:
Changes in people's moods and behavior are visually exaggerated in the game so that every player immediately understands what mood a particular person (victim) is in.
Each individual monster controls its creator (human) and literally manipulates him:
-- Either brings them depression. It demotivates them and thus this "victim" becomes frustrated and may even attack the surroundings in anger.
-- Or, on the contrary, this monster can cause an unhealthy happy mood, full of endorphins. A person focuses on his "likes" or "views" and then he can run around bumping into others like a madman.
Such individual people become social zombies who walk aimlessly and constantly look at the display from their mobile device. These Psy-Monsters literally create a closed "inner world" for these human victims.
You definitely try to avoid the attacks of these manipulated people who control these Psy-Monsters. Your goal in the game is to catch as many Psy-Monsters as possible and bring balance to such a serious situation as the worldwide dependence on technology and social networks.
In this game you will meet (maybe for the first time in history) the "Big Brother" himself as the main boss.

Levels mostly take place in public spaces such as (Giant shopping malls, beaches, parks, streets...)

Thanks. "Big Brother" was just an idea about how our data is already circulating on the Internet and targeting us with ads and personal interests. And most importantly, no one has actually seen "Big Brother" in person.👀
The fact that there aren't many tracks is because I haven't been able to spend as many days as possible on it. I deal with a lot of personal matters and there is also a lot of work in the garden. I wanted to create more but it was not possible.
I'm personally sorry.
Honestly, thats alright, your songs are pretty great and the ideas are presented with care and effort. the fact that you were able to do this much along with your personal problems makes your songs all the more special.
Also you should read the summary of 1984, there's a whole lot of similarities with the final boss and the antagonist of the book.
no one ever seen "Big Brother" in the novel but he's in control of the entire world through complete manipulation, it's an incredibly interesting read
Not that I had personal problems, but simply that I had a lot of other matters that could not be postponed.
I had a third track planned, but I just didn't have time to create it.
Yeah, that's exactly the concept that would be here. after all, the "Big Brother" look would probably still be slightly hidden. There would be a clash with him anyway.
