Description
An OMORI-styled RPG about a girl's last summer with her boyfriend, and a twist at the end (Disclaimer: It is not unnecessarily dark like in OMORI)

Message from the artist
The "Ending" song is missing one crucial sound effect: the sounds of a crying baby at the very end.

Theme

One Summer Night
Picture theme

How does it fit the theme?
The soundtrack evokes the fun the MC and her boyfriend were able to have on their last summer together.

Wow Broadwalk Arcade has some amazing motions in the melody 🤯 super cool !

Ending was also really great, I love the piano concerto n2 of Rachmaninoff and hearing it quoted like this is neat :D

Duplicate post?

Really cool songs!! I think you did a really good job with the scope of this OST; it feels complete even though it's just a few songs. If I can give some criticism, I think some of the arpeggio chords you used at the end of the last song were a bit dissonant and kind of put the end in a weird territory, but that'd be it. Great job!!

Very admirable using famitracker, make me want to give it a try! I'd also love to hear more about the story and would just love to see more tracks, nonetheless, cool submission!

Submitted

wonderful take on the theme, I definitely would like to know a bit more about your story but I think you fit the theme quite well with your melodies, my favourite track is ending!

Developer

This game takes place at a coastal town — think Atlantic City — and the MC is trying almost feverishly to give her boyfriend the most fun he could ever have in his terminally ill life. The battle theme is inspired by the battles that occur in FARAWAY TOWN, think of the boardwalk arcade as the Gold Saucer from FFVII, and the summer concert is one of the climactic events of the game.

That's nice and that's funny, on"Boardwalk Arcade" I got WarioLand vibes :D

Submitted

Loving the compositional choices you made.

This is nicely done, I had a feeling someone who picked a username after Scriabin would make some interesting music! Great work. :)

It kind of seems like you don't like OMORI. considering you say it inspired your music "(begrudgingly)"

I actually liked the ending song the most. I just liked the harmonies between the bass and melody in the beginning of that one. 

Developer

OMORI was not all bad, but I felt the big "reveal" of that game was unnecessarily dark, putting everything I've experienced in the game up to that point in an extremely different light.

Hello!

Just got done listening to your ost. I loved it!

My favorite track was the second, "Boardwalk Arcade". The goofy silly vibes really remind me of a time years in the past in my budding relationship, and that same translation of idea into music really describes well the other tracks you submitted. 

Very good work!

Submitted

Really impressed with you using Milktracker, elegant kind of classical writing that fit each track well. Great work!

Developer

You mean FamiTracker?

Submitted

That’s great and very distinctive as well. The music inspired by Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik was cool. My favorite was "Ending". Really nice melodies overall. Great work!

Submitted

Great work! Were you writing with a specific sound chip in mind? Boardwalk Arcade was such a fun ride—I could totally see that being for a little 8-bit minigame, kinda like the PICO-8 game in Celeste.

I wrote most of the tracks with FamiTracker's VRC7 module.
