While "The World Awaits," your character is taking in the landscape; the roads, the forests, the paths that await. In order to prepare and learn the ropes, your character goes through some basic training with some remedial weapons--just to be safe before heading out into the world.
In "Leaving Home," you're caught up in the excitement and hesitant to go all at once: maybe we're not ready or meant to leave. But it doesn't look like we have much of a choice: as you journey, you find that the true adversary among the pesky monsters awaits you. All you have is the experience you gained and whatever weapons you could find for a foe you don't even know by sight or folktale; all you know is there is something behind that door. And all you have to do is open it, and battle. Do, or die.
For the farewell, I leave that up to you.
Message from the artist:
This four-minute track is jam-packed with six vignettes that could serve a game not yet made! "A journey to remember" isn't complete without some preparation and adversaries, and the pixel art included in the theme set out the perfect canvas for a display of 8-bit inspired synthesizers.
Theme

How does it fit the theme?
These six sewn-together vignettes paint a miniature version of a much longer adventure. "A journey to remember" isn't complete without some preparation and adversaries, and the pixel art included in the theme set out the perfect canvas for a display of 8-bit inspired synthesizers.
