I'm a huuuge psychological horror fan, and anything with themes of depression and/or anxiety is immediately gonna draw me in cos I've struggled with both for most of my life, haha. I always find it really interesting to experience other people's artistic expressions of that sorta stuff, and this was no exception :3
The bleak and heavy atmosphere throughout was suffocating in the most delightful way, the art was absolutely gorgeous and definitely suited the unnerving feeling of the entire thing, and the music fit perfectly. The way everything is laid out on the screen works so well to hammer home that feeling of oppressiveness that you get with depression in the sense that it restricts your view, stops you from seeing clearly, and traps you in a small space that can often seem impossible to escape from.
I keep thinking that if I decide to participate in Spooktober next year, I will maybe put myself forward just to join a team to make a soundtrack rather than keep leading projects if anyone would have me, but it would have to be the sort of project that really grabs me, and something like this would be absolutely that! I would have adored to take a shot at making a soundtrack for it x3 Though, as I said, I do think the music you used was spot-on!
Thanks so much!
I really wanted to go for a proper custom soundtrack for it but I ran out time to to ask it, thankfully I had bough a bunch of soundtracks and SFX years ago in humble bundle.
I plan to eventually work on a big game project eventually, the entity there is originally from it. I have a bunch of concept art so far and after I'm finished with that hopefully I'll focus on the modeling. I can basically do a lot of things on the game but music is still one of the skills I have no experience in... not for lack of trying.
Hehe, yeah, some of the stuff on humble bundle for music and sfx is super handy to have :3 I have bought waaaay too many humble bundles over the years both for games and for assets xD
Ooo, that's so cool! I will be there whenever you end up releasing that then :D I feel like it's easier to make music than to make actual art for games, or maybe that's just me x3 I have tried so hard over the years to get better at art, but I just seem to have 0 natural talent for it, haha. I've never been able to even come close to a level where I'd be happy to put my art into one of my projects, and I don't think I ever will >.<
At least when it comes to music, there's an absolute treasure trove of incredible assets out there! It's a lot harder to find sprite resources that fit well with projects, and basically impossible to have CGs without being able to draw yourself or work with an artist x3 I think I would be in heaven if I could draw! At the same time though, through joining jams, I've discovered that I much prefer working with a team than doing everything solo :3
Btw, I think I also completely forgot to mention how much I adore your logo for this project! It's one of the coolest logo designs I've seen in ages :3
Anyways, I wish you much luck and happiness with your future endeavours!
The art was fantastic! It really sell's the atmosphere of horror, and the characters themselves were an interesting idea with the hole in the face!
Overall great use of music! Would have liked a few more sound effects but the story drove in the point and it was well excecuted!
Good job!
Thank you!!!
