Description
A girl cleaning out her childhood home rediscovers her old computer and suddenly gets pulled straight through the monitor! The computer got so lonely over the years that when it saw its old friend again, it couldn't let her leave. It willed her into its digital reality and trapped her there so they could have fun together forever. Now to survive and escape, the girl must confront her past come to life!
Girl Among Circuits - Inspired by 90s classics like Half Life and System Shock, this first track represents the strange and hostile environment the girl finds herself in shortly after being transported into the computer.
Buyer's Remorse - This track represents a level dedicated to impulsive consumerism, something the girl used as a coping mechanism for past trauma. Unfortunately, in this instance, she fails the level, leading to the music falling apart in a garbled, glitchy mess. Inspired by 80s/90s corporate lounge music.
Memories - Inspired by electronic tracks by Brian Eno and classic rock ballads of the latter 20th century, this track represents the girl at her lowest point. Unable to run from her past anymore, she must confront it, process it, and finally grow the courage to live above it.
Shut Up & Shutdown - Finally, after overcoming her trauma, she's ready to face her computer captor head on. Nothing can stop her from breaking free! Inspired by modern electronic works by artists including ClascyJitto and Mr. Sauceman.

Theme
How does it fit the theme?
In the lens of Hello My World, the theme can represent two things. One, the protagonist's world as it once was, with her memories, hobbies, hopes, and fears all manifesting. Two, the computer's world as it always has been, its home and only reference for its limited understanding of the protagonist.
