Description
Zenith, son of Zephyrion, is coming home after traveling the world for the first time. As the son of the God of Time, he knew that he had to learn about his own powers to protect his people, as one day his father’s responsibilities would fall on him.

On his way, he noticed something was wrong. A small town he had already visited looked… unfinished? As he continued his journey, more things indicated that something was different. Forests seemed less leafy, people looked younger, more and more deserts were appearing. Maybe his father would know what was happening.

He hurried to his palace, where he quickly learned the truth: Zephyrion, plagued by an intense sorrow, neglected his duties as protector of time, and now it was going backwards. Zenith now has to help him, and restore everything to how it once was.


This soundtrack was made using FL Studio, and was composed by Ronan Bio and Lara Ozbic. The First Time is an electronic piece depicting the young Zenith and his leitmotif, eager to learn about the world and grow as the next protector of time. The Truth reflects the realization of what’s actually happening with the world, and his father’s role in it. Finally, A Hard Reunion accompanies both characters as they try to mend everything that was broken.

That's just beautiful! Feels like there needs to be some more of your wondefrul music, but what you did is just great!

Chill set of tracks, short and sweet. I really like the chords in the second track. The sound choices on their own already put the "time" idea into my head. Very pretty closing track. Good work!

Thank you so much!!

Ha! I've been reviewing these for a couple hours now and I was starting to kind drift away... then I get this absolute shoe-to-the-face moment at the end of the first track and all of a sudden I'm awake and paying attention again :D I'm glad, too, because there's some really lovely and subtle work going on here that I would have been sad to have missed or glossed over. Very few entries were willing to take us through the full range of dynamics, so I'm glad you pushed that angle. IMO more jam entries should open with a track that really kicks the audience in the face, but that's more my personal preference than real music advice.

I really enjoyed all of your OSTs! They help me chill while I'm drawing, really nice work! :D

I really like the emotional feeling this music express to me. They all give me a sense of exploration and a kind of game where You need to find certain objects and do certain things in a kind of puzzle manner. The tracks are kept together nicely by both instrumenation and style, while not beeing too similar. The last track deviates a bit (as it should) to give kind of an ending. Nicely done!

Developer

Such nice words, thank you so much!!

I liked the production quality. Also the consistency of the instruments you used was nice as it developed it's own little sound world. Good job!
