Description
Genre: Ambient, Electronic
DAW: Garageband
The storyline was inspired by the film I am Mother. In a dystopian wasteland where humanity is extinct, a robot raises a human girl where they bond and take care of each other.
The game starts off with the robot and the girl sitting on a cliff looking out into the scenery and watching the sunset. They have an emotional and heartfelt conversation together about their outlook on life and what will happen if one day, the two gets separated by an unknown force. (Sunset & U)
As the sun sets from dusk to nightfall, the stars appear at night. The two makes a promise together that if anything were to happen, they will never abandon each other, and that there is a reason why the two met each other in a seemingly hopeless scenario and in a dystopian wasteland world. The girl makes an etymology about how, out of a million stars in the night sky, they somehow manage to meet each other under the same sky. (Nightfall & U)
As midnight approaches, the robot takes the girl back to their shelter and she falls asleep. After that, the robot then goes back to the outside world, now dark, a red light appears in the distant horizon. Soon after, many red lights appears, as the robot soon prepares for war... (MIDNIGHT)

Hard to pick a favorite cuz all the songs are great! I especially love "MIDNIGHT" as it reminds me a bit of SIGNALIS, the bitcrush in there was fun. Not sure if it's what you intended but I got a lot of spacey/sky-related vibes for the narrative.
Hi! Thanks for the comment, after I submitted I immediately have to go out so I didn't have time to finish my submission page. I've now added the storyline I imagined for the soundtrack and what each track represents in the game krub!
