Game genre: Cinematic - Enigmatic - Puzzle
Story suggestion :
- 🎧 Music 1 : a dream -
L is agoraphobic. She has difficulty leaving the safety of her house and is taken care of by her older sister. L dreams of going to the sea, but has never been able to. Paintings of the sea are pinned to the wall, reference pictures and an encyclopedia of seashells are lain open on the floor. You explore the room, but your primary goal is to get L to leave the comfort of her room and push herself to go outside.
- 🎧 Music 2 : train enigma -
L musters up the courage to go to the train station. She already know which train would lead her to her destination. Standing on the platform, she is agitated by the constant shuffle of daily commuters and lively travellers. As a train is approaching, L. feels overwhelmed by the crowd. Before she knows it, she finds herself on the track. As the train draws near, time slows down. Seconds now feel like minutes. Will you save her in time ?
- 🎧 Music 3 : retrospection -
L is now inside of the train leading to her destination. Following this event, L doesn't feel well and her head starts spinning. Her vision becomes blurry as she realises what she is doing. How much longer can she endure?
- 🎧 Music 4 : open your eyes -
Leaving the train, L starts running, her arm covering teary eyes, dodging the gaze of curious onlookers.
Wiping her eyes, L realises that she is standing on unfamiliar terrain. Lifting her head, she finds herself facing the sea. Her tourment turns into relief and then into tears of joy. She made it.

Very unique and interesting concept to present the theme of time as a person's perception and reaction to the world around them. In "Train Enigma," - this idea is evoked perfectly by the intensity of the low rhythmic synth. It's almost overwhelming to the listener, mirroring the feeling of being overstimulated. The resolution in "Open Your Eyes" is powerful and is a great conclusion to the soundtrack. The instruments you used pair work well for this type of genre, and I can definitely imagine this as a sort of visual novel or text-heavy game. Excellent work!
Lovely, immersive ambient sound design and music. Your game concept also stands out - you had a fresh approach to the theme and delved deep into the emotions of your story through your soundtrack. A wonderful submission to the jam!
A dream: Such a pretty ambient track. I love the clock timings.
Train Enigma: Love a good I-iv. Then catches me off-guard with the Phrygian Dominant feel later. Cinematic feel.
Retrospection: starting off with the same progression as the previous track, but leaning further into it. It's a really effective one for the time theme imo.
Open Your Eyes: Great arpeggios and love the bells. Love that swell towards the end.
Great work!
