Awesome work and so well produced. Love how it goes all warped towards the end of The Light and how the tracks get progressively more warped and twisted. Absolute treat to listen to!

Description
I'm not sure what to call the overall genre of the soundtrack, but mostly somewhere between Ambient and Noise I guess.
Everything was made in FL Studio with the help of various VSTs and a couple analog synths, most notably the Lyra-8 used for the hellish noises of the third track.
The music (and the imaginary game it is for) depicts two radically different worlds, connected by an additional border world.
The "Light" world is a seemingly happy and innocent place, but nonetheless hides something sinister beneath its façade, and it is up to the player to uncover the truth.
The "Penumbra" world is a bridge between the two main dimensions. Countless objects, spirits, and thoughts constantly travel between Light and Dark in this abstract space where time goes back and forth and space is inside-out. Musically it aims to bring some cohesion between the total clashes of the other two themes.
The "Dark" world is a cursed universe filled with tormented souls and endless suffering. It was not always like this, it seems to have been corrupted by something, something from the Light world that once invaded this space... But however bleak this place may seem, if you search hard enough, you can still find moments of true beauty, buried under the mountains of pain.
Theme:
Two Worlds
How does it fit the theme?
Quite a literal interpretation, simply a game about travelling between two very different worlds.
