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

Inside my world

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.

I really liked the last track, the ambience with strings and organs reminded me of the Soul Sanctum in Hollow Knight!
