I composed this for a Detective Game, similar to a game like Ace Attorney or Professor Layton with Character Themes.
Each track represents a Different Character!
Set in a city with an unnatural secret world of myth and legends, a detective agency exists to help solve crimes of a supernatural nature. A young woman with a dead brother joins the agency after a mysterious encounter with a Vampire Cowboy.
The Vampire Cowboy runs the Agency, and it's staffed by various different characters, and they must solve crimes and keep the balance between the normal and the paranormal!
The Devil is an impish, well dressed fellow with a french accent and a gun of silver bullets. He works With the Agency and Against it, depending on the case.
I made the songs in FL Studio.
Message from the artist
I hope you enjoy!
Theme
How does it fit the theme?
The Main Character of the game has been invited to work at the Supernatural Agency, and has been welcomed into this secret World they didn't know about before.

This gives me 90s anime vibes, but maybe I just project some of my love for Detective Conan onto it. I also adore a powerful, pongy snare. Cool sub!
Hey, you have a Waltz too! very pretty combo of instruments and careful attention to detail with little fillers here and there.
Shadows in the Desert Sun sounded more action-y. Achieved western/desert vibe with the e-guitar, reminds me of Ennio Morricone.
Well done!
Heh... well...
First of all: I really like your fantasy and the world that you have come up with!
Secondly: Your soundtrack is perfect for playing with such an idea! Here, on the one hand it is purple, on the other - it has an atmosphere of various mysteries, detective work and conditions of cool jobs!
From the complaints: the panning of the instruments and it seems to me that there is a little extra "dirt" in the second track. And so - it's great! I liked it!
P.S. Shadows in the Desert Sun is a bit like Heavy Head from The Orwells, lol. It even gives off a pleasant atmosphere.
Ace Attorney fan spotted!
I really like this style you went for. I think sometimes the main guitar instrument got too loud probably because it was panned to the right a lot so it felt really heavy in that ear.
Fitting for a detective game! It's good that mysterious, unreal feeling to it, especially on the waltz. Love the instrumentation on Shadows in the Desert Sun. Nice work!
A waltz indeed.
This soundtrack has so much character and works well with your game concept. I especially like the melody and western vibe of Shadows in the Desert Sun, and your development with layering is great and varied. It would have been cool to explore different chord progressions too. Overall, a fun listen that really captures the spirit of the game concept!
Oh I adored these!!! The Waltz actually made me start tearing up; it made me long for something I could not describe! Well done!
Oh my god, thank you so much!! It's such a great feeling to know it inspired such emotions in you, thank you!
Happy to see some more rock-driven pieces! Both come together pretty nicely and explore different tonal spaces. The motif in Shadows in the Desert Sun remind me of some late 90s game that I can't quite put my finger on. Best of luck!
Thank you so much!! Yeah, I tend to work with rock instrumentation a lot, especially if I'm rushing to finish, like I was with this haha!
If you remember what 90s game track it reminds you of, I'd love to know! :D
