Description
We imagined a game in which the player is a ghost that finds himself suddenly drifting from its familiar Spiritual World to the Material World. As soon as he gets into the Material World he is chased by ghost hunters. Confused, the ghost runs away. At times, when he really needs it, the ghost can temporarily drift back to the Spiritual World, where the hunters can't touch him and where he is able to pass through barriers and other obstacles, but he quickly finds himself back into the Material World and the chase continues.
The soundtrack was composed with Waveform.

Theme:
How does it fit the theme?
Both the game idea and the soundtrack are based on frequent transitions between two worlds. The soundtrack reflects this by changing pace, timbre and mood to underline the contrast between the chase sequences in the Material World and the Spiritual World where the ghost is safe.

Great composition, I think you achieved exactly what you were going for!
Thank you very much!
The like your idea of using adaptive music to navigate the theme of Two Worlds. This would be great background music for the game you describe. Moving the ostinato to the low register adds a sense of urgency and tension that works great for the transition from safety to being hunted. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you very much!
