Instead of a game, I created a made up Anime story based on the image and “The Far Reaches” text, so I drew up a music menu to compose towards.
The soundtracks were kinda inspired by the world setting of Wuthering Waves and Nier Automata. I really liked Nier Automata melody writing technique so I wanted to try using that (for practice) but I didn't want to be to influenced and tried to include stuff that I would do. This might get some points knocked out, but I don’t think what I made is the most creative or innovative but personally I’m happy with what I wrote and I had fun. Originally wanted to create more music, but due to school finals, had to settle with 3.
Brief Story Synopsis:
Story takes place on a magical continent that was ravaged by war 800 years ago, causing the land to develop high mountains. Now in present times, towns and roads have been established on the mountains, however the war from 800 years ago left its mark on the land and affects the wellbeing of the people. 500 years ago a prophecy was foretold that a blue mountain will appear that will “break” the sky and cause a permanent aurora waterfall. A star will fall and this star will eventually return back to the blue mountain’s peak, resolving all the lingering effects of the war 800 years ago.
A young girl finds herself laying down on the shores at the foot of a mountain, staring up at a blue mountain in the distance covered by a waterfall like veil. With her memories lost, she recalls her only memory and takes on the name Obu. Following the sound of a faint cry, she begins her journey towards the blue mountain, traveling together with a merchant. Her travels will slowly reveal the past and the events that transpired when the blue mountain “broke” the sky 400 years ago.
