Description
***
You can't sleep.
No way.
It's impossible.
And now you're here
Goodbye.

I prepared for this jam thoroughly (to the extent possible). To tune in to the “unpleasant” soundtrack, I didn't sleep for several nights in a row, forced myself to hallucinate, immersed myself in horror content on the Internet, studied a lot of stories about atrocities, murders, cruelty and.....
I also thought out the local lore (and I've spelled it out in my draft better than what's in this publication. Because of deadlines, I had to cut EVERYTHING). The basis for the local language was even thought of! (You can hear it in the track “Cannibalism”).
Unfortunately, what we have now is only a rough part of what I originally wanted to do. So I'll finish this soundtrack later, I'll make a full set of OST! (But that's after the jam, obviously).

The genre of the game is a kind of survival horror, where the helpless protagonist gets into the territory of a dead manor...

How does that fit the theme? Well, uh. it's set in an “abandoned” estate. Plus I used a mix of conventional instruments, instrumental ambient, choirs and evil foreign electronics! There are so many “dirty” sounds to authenticity here....

One day, aliens decided to “visit” this place. They left some of their technology, viruses and apparatuses behind. They made this place a “reservation” for human meat. All the inhabitants went crazy. Most began to develop fatal insomnia after meeting with alien life.....
Our hero is the last person to see extraterrestrial life, fleetingly. He saw the departing ship out of the corner of his eye, but it was enough to fall into madness....
All that will accompany us from here on out is sheer madness, cruelty and bestial rage. Of course, few will bother you, for most of the villagers are already dead.
...But no one said they couldn't rise from the dead.

Exhumation:
...You can see the moon from the window. You are in a godforsaken large monastery converted into a hospital. There are corpses everywhere, mold and you. The occasional phantoms passing by are only a faint reminder that someone once lived here...

Autopsia:
You have descended into a cellar converted into a morgue. Most have died due to crop failure. Half of the rooms have long since sunk, some of the rooms are filled with strange empty machines. Some of the dead come to life right at your feet... You haven't slept in days
It's so humid and stuffy that it's hard for you to breathe ...

Cannibalism:
You've come to what everyone else came to a long time ago... In hopes of surviving, you have to eat your own kind. Fortunately, unlike the others, you only eat the dead...
But how long will you last? Maybe you should get some sleep...?

Pet of Reservation:
You make your way out of the cellars straight into the living quarters of the manor... A horrible scene is before you: the aristocrats of the manor have been locked inside the house. While the rest of the peasants were starving, the aristocrats had a large supply of provisions....
...But the provisions ran out. There was no way out of the house...


The landowner finishes eating his daughter

Reservation Forest:
Hidden in the gardens is one of the alien machines. There don't even seem to be any spirits. Everything's dead.
The apparatus stands in the center of the gardens.
Go.

Insomnia
A second of silence. Bliss. You can get some sleep and forget this cannibal feast like a bad dream. You can get some sleep.
But they say if you sleep too much, they'll think you're dead...
... You can see the moon from the window.

I originally tried to make a soundtrack that encompasses the overall mood, but only touches on certain gameplay moments. The main goal is to make a mix of weird, slightly creepy and unpleasant soundtrack. To do this I use as usual a bunch of tortured samples, weird note sequences and of course a thumping bass.
The result is weird but ambient. It follows you around. And sooner or later, it'll kill you.

Please don't forget to sleep ;>
