Description
The game is a top down RPG like Omori or earthbound, where you explore different worlds to find your brother. The first and second tracks are the title theme, and the intro. The third track is a strange world, and it represents the first world that you find yourself in. And the last track is a special world, which represents when the player finds their brother. The genre is a mix between real instruments, and synths. I used FL studio, and my process just going in with a general mood and key, and just writing as I go.

Message from the artist
All of the instruments used were:

- Foundations piano by heavyocity
- The SGM soundfont
- The Paper Mario soundfont
- And massive, a paid synth

I hope you like it!

Theme

Inside my world

How does it fit the theme?
I pretty much just took the idea of other worlds, and other people having their own worlds and just ran with it, having the main premise being exploring other worlds to find your brother.

Nice soundtrack! Some really delicate layers here, especially in the Introduction, the colours in A Special World work very nicely. Think about how you could develop your ideas further, with even more subtle layers on tracks like Strange World. Great work overall :)

Last Minute Rating spree 

Interesting textures out of time are created by the mixture of what is very clearly soundfont material and the more modern synth textures. The soundtrack is floating, reminding me of the 2000,s but refusing to slot cleanly into it. Nicely done.

Very peaceful soundtrack. It's nicely produced and I enjoyed the synth pads that you used. My favorite track was was "A Special World" Great job!

You got a really relaxing ambiance going on all of your tracks, really like these! Good stuff.

I like the song used in a strange world. It reminds me of the sounds heard in Mario 64

You know... sometimes I miss simple but beautiful soundtracks so much. Although you used few instruments... but it created its own atmosphere! I love this approach!

Thank you!

P.S. A Strange World - my favorite track)

I really enjoyed the piano-centric tracks, especially the title. I really enjoyed the rhythmic variations you tossed in with the triplets and such, it helped keep things lively and active throughout. The overall intimate nature of this submission is so nice. Well done :)

These were very nice and relaxing. I liked the wind sounds you added!

Title and Introduction are wonderful! I really liked the vibe and instruments selected. It does indeed feel like we're in a cosy winter town! I wish they lasted longer. I guess I'll just hear them in loop! Well done!

This whole collection sort of felt like a cold breeze, in a comforting way. The sound design is nice, and I could hear the Earthbound influences. Nice work!

The mix between synths and the piano in the title and introduction is just so mesmerizing!

A Strange World is very nice as well with it's synth which sort of reminds me or more retro genres.

A Special World feels like it was made for well... a special moment in this world you've build as if it's something supernatural (in a good way).

This is truly such a wonderful work of art.
