Description
4 Songs to tell a story of fixing time's source itself.
The Edge Of Reality (Title Screen) : A sombre tune, detailing the weight of the situation at hand. The hourglass holding time itself together is running out. The world is stagnating, what will be done to stop it?
The Shattered Hourglass (World Theme #1) : Floating in the sky is the hourglass, you are extremely far away from reaching it. Here this song plays as you make your way across the twilight lands to the clocktower that reaches to the sky, far beyond the others.
Ascending The Twilight Spire (World Theme #2): You've reached the clocktower. Now begins your treacherous climb to the peak, so you can fix time itself, before it's too late & everything that has ever happened will become NULL.
The Endless Marching Of Time (Escape Theme): You're ALMOST there, but as you near the top, the tower crumbles. Here this theme plays as you race to the top before the ground crumbles beneath you & reach the hourglass of twilight to save all timelines in existence.
All these songs were made in FL Studio & loop seamlessly, with the right version.
Theme:
How does it fit the theme?
First & foremost, I created the art, so I had some basis of what to compose the soundtrack of.
Some songs start in 60 BPM, some have clock sounds & bells embedded into them. Also tempo changes either for tension increase or added excitement :D
Also just generally my imagination of what climbing a clocktower would be like & personally, I think it'd be pretty damn thrilling!

Your soundtrack overflows with mystery and melodies that contain twists and turns. I loved the soft, moody moments in your tracks - they let the listener absorb the atmosphere of your imagined game world. But my fave track was "The Endless Marching of Time" - the addictive beat and slightly jazzy melody had me swaying along, and the instruments you chose complemented each other wonderfully. Masterful work.
That's just great! Every track is unique and has it's charm! I like your style! Awesome work!
Really thought the composition and production of these tracks were excellent and they have a really lovely vibe! I especially liked The Endless Marching of Time, it definitely captures the scene you described. Great work! :)
Lovely ambience with a sweet piano melody keeping it all together. Especially in Ascending The Twilight Spire and The Edge Of Reality. The Endless... have some more punch to it which I like as a contrast to the other tracks. Well done!
