Description
orchestral, dark fantasy style thing made in FL studio, held together with duct tape and whatever is left of my attention span
scuffed game narrative concept:
Years ago, in the kingdom of something or other idk, King John Goodguy was a hero beloved by all for being really cool and based. But in a moment of foolishness, he roused the anger of the eldritch god of dreams and nightmares, who in turn condemned the king to a lifetime of servitude. It was then that the king became a jailer, a conduit through which souls were transported to the nightmare god's domain as sacrifices, to be imprisoned there forever. The king, powerless to stop it, could only watch as those close to him were taken, the castle becoming an abandoned shell of its former self in only a matter of days. It now looms over the kingdom, as more of a grave than a castle. Your job is to put the king, or whatever is left of him, out of his misery. By any means necessary.
featuring such "lovely" (scuffed) songs as:
the main theme (outer god's lullaby),
the spooky evil nightmare world theme (from where only madness returns),
and the theme for the boss fight against the king at the end of the game (jailer and prisoner alike). wish i couldve done more, but unfortunately my ability to do literally anything sucks so thats all there is.
Message from the artist
??? colon three
uhhhh
what do i put here
hit that like and subscr- gets shot by sniper
idk. this was fun tho! im glad to actually write music FOR something, even if its just hypothetical.
also:
ik it says "use permission: no" but what i mean is just reach out to me and ask for permission. just ping/dm snorplemcflorple on discord, on the slim chance anyone actually wants to use this in something. (sorry if this is redundant and im just being stupid)
Theme
How does it fit the theme?
It's a story about someone who unwillingly transports people into another hellish world by his presence. I know its awfully literal, but hey i thought it was cool.

Nice album with the organ and chord progressions, good soundscape you created for your tracks.
Outer God's Lullaby : At 1:20 you had a fantastic change of pace building up to something incredible but then you stopped it ?! I think you should've went hard and continue the build up, also add more low end to make it even sinister.
From Where Only Madness Returns: Cool reverse FX (always love those) its a nice soundcape, I just think it needs a bit more motion, very modal but it works the arrangement is well done.
Jailer And Prisoner Alike : A bit more intense than the other track which was nice the only thing I would change is the bass doing at some point was staying modal when you were doing important chord change like at 2:20
Overall I like the vibe its sinister but like a soft sinister,to truly fit the theme I think you can go way harder in the darkness path and make this crazy. Good job !
CHAos! i love everything that is captured within the ost. there could be more variation in some parts but other than that
VerY BaseD!
