Description
JPRG, inspired a bit by the goofiness of Earthbound, all made in FL Studio
Message from the artist
I was hoping to get 10 tracks done to have more music for more context in the story, but due to time constraints, I got 4 as polished as I could get it!
Theme
How does it fit the theme?
The main character is in the middle of a coma and has LIS syndrome (title name being [Li]ving [I]n [S]omnus, as play on words) but doesn't know she is. Game starts as a happy fun dream-like adventure but gets dark as the character slightly gets hints that this isn't all real and that she is in fact in a dream and her illness isn't getting any better as flashbacks of her misremembering happen.

Really nice mix of instruments throughout this, and produced so well too. Great job exploring different styles and really pushing each of them - Home Theme explores some gorgeous orchestration. The 8-bit first section kicking into the sax was completely unexpected but works so well. I think this track is my favorite of the bunch, personally.
RAM-Eater comes in as a close second - this reminds me of some of the more experimental kind of tracks you'd find in the 16-bit era days, particularly Yuzo Koshiro. Reminds me a little bit of the arcade theme - solid melodies, great accompaniment but a menacing tone and some interesting choice of voicings (the bells do a great job of adding this tense flair to the track).
Great work, this was a delight to listen to and produced really well. Varied selection of tracks that explore a couple of different styles and some really nice ear candy in general. Loving the FL theme too, dark all the way!
