Description
​My entry to the Impressions OST Jam 1​ with the theme "Death Knight".

I created two tracks for imaginary dark exploration game - not truly horror, but definitely not a cozy one. In it player has to explore titular Death Knight's mansion to learn more about the past events.

1. Main menu​​ - I went with slow melody with layered sound rains and some unsettling noises around. I think it fits perfect for a start of a game for a player to go through rain to set the mood

2. Mansion backyard​ - with this one I tried to keep somber mood, but give a bit of mystery, uncovering past and also (in later part) a bit of sense of danger and realisation that player does not have all the time in the world to explore, because there's something​ there

Not sure if you meant for that first track to cut off, but it has a nice vibe.

Both tracks have a nice vibe. Nicely done! :)

Developer

Thank you!

First track was supposed to be a loop, which is bit difficult to show on soundcloud, good point here - I should have described it clearly that way

HostSubmitted(+1)

Aha! Thank you, that clarifies the cutoff...

I've had cutoffs in my tracks that were not for looping...... just me not paying close enough attention when submitting! :P

Really meditative vibes, would go well in a silent hill style atmospheric game.

Good job!

Developer

Thank you so much!

Very nice, super smooth, like the sound effects touch too I guess the main menu is a perfect loop. good job.

Developer

Thanks! Yes, menu was supposed to be looped, glad that it worked out

Nice ambient piano pieces. Would love to hear this in a giant abandoned warehouse in the middle of the night. The Simplicity is a nice change of pace. I can exist with the music instead of waiting to be surprised by a constant introduction of instruments. Great work 

Developer

Thank you! Nice to hear that simplicity can be a good thing :D

Nice one! Eerie ambience with a dash of something like... nostalgia? And those soft rain sound really glue the whole thing together. Almost cozy, if not so spooky.

Truly Lo-Fi beats to be undead to.

Really felt the theme come across, the tracks created a good atmosphere with a bit of spookiness to them and a melancholic’death is in the room’ vibe. Nice work!

Developer

Thank you!
