I lack knowledge to write what I want, but I had an overall idea of nerve-wracking badly played violin sounds. Construction in my town was a bonus, I recorded some sounds that after editing turned into atmospheric background noises. I have been participating in jams so far with silent games (because I had no time to include any sounds), it helped me to think about sound design in games. I also prefer realism, so ambient genre as a baseline felt better for a non-existent game. The theme and edited recordings helped me to form the final idea. I had something in mind before that I wanted to imitate (you can see my inspo in devlog), and the theme happened to be very close, if interpreted under a less positive angle (the picture is a delusion casted on the player by hypnosis or similar, not the reality).
Despite my original desire to go with DAW and write a melody, the edited recordings in Audacity felt complete, so I felt satisfied.
The feedback I got so far is very surprising, I didn’t expect my entry to be noticed and praised :)
