Description
My imagined game is a puzzle/mystery game, where the main character explores the books in a magical library, in which each book tells the story of how a person died. The player must unearth the secrets and find the missing pages to help the spirit pass on.
The soundtrack is orchestral with light synths, composed using Spitfire, East-west and Keyscape plugins in Logic Pro.
1. Within the Library - the main track in the collection, and is a representation of the general tone of the soundtrack. A looped version of this track would play as you explore the main library area, and the end of the track suggests the dark tonality of some parts of the game.
2. Unearthed Secret - A short motif and track designed to accompany the player as they struggle with a conflicting memory that troubles them from their past.
3. A missing Page - this track plays as the character discovers the missing page in the book they are currently exploring, and serves as the end of the game chapter. The player character and the page are lifted in the air as the book magically reveals the secrets contained within. The repeated continuous note represents the soul residing within the page, and dies down to a faint pulse as it finds its place in the book.
Message from the artist
Thanks for listening! I had a great time making these tracks, and it was a new way of creating that I would love to do more often. Thanks to LoneRabbit for putting on the Jam!
Theme
Inside my world
How does it fit the theme?
As you explore the library, each book you travel into is a window into the world of a person who lived their life. As you experience their story, you see inside their world.
