Very pretty soundtrack! It made use of its simplicity and minimalism very well to capture a somber but playful mood. It was short and sweet and never out stayed its welcome while still being interesting. Great job at capturing the feeling of reminiscing on childhood.

Description
Yurei Dream is a chill narrative game with supernatural undertones I envisioned specially for this jam and its theme. Set in a deserted city, the player awakens on a beach with two questions : who am I? and where am I? Their goal for most of the game is to find the answer to both these questions. Along the way they are helped by magical living toys and a stray cat that seems to know a lot about the city. The game ends with a touching reunion between the player and its past.
I idealized every track using a piano, then made a score for the orchestration using Sibelius and finalized them in Ableton. all the tracks represent either a moment or a character in the story.

Message from the artist
I hope you have as much fun while listening to the pieces as I had while making them.
P.S. The tracks should be listened to in the order they are set on the album :)
Theme
One Summer Night
Picture theme
How does it fit the theme?
I envisioned the game as taking place during a summer night for the entirety of its story. I used the picture to figure out the vibe of the music and it gave me the initial spark for the story. I envisioned the game to be in an art style similar with the picture.
