Description
Cover art and concept art by NekdoNahodny
Tracks composed in Logic Pro. I heavily featured sample libraries by Cinematic Studio, Cinesamples, and Strezov Sampling. I made synths using Vital and Phase Plant. I also recorded some bass for this submission. There are only two tracks in this submission, both are boss themes.
The gods are powerless to the human realm. Their strength extends that which is possible in physical reality. In order to have influence in the world Vessels are chosen, human mortals granted otherworldly powers through acting as a catalyst for the god who chose them. The Vessels are often unknown, serving as anonymous saints, serving the world as cosmically powerful vigilantes, keepers of peace and balance. But unfortunately the gods have a greater plan, bored with reality and limited personal power they have a plan in motion to reset the world at the fall equinox. The only thing that can stop it is a summer night that never ends. The god of Night still has love for humanity and chooses you to put a stop to this, but it won't be an easy path.
"Vessel of the Never-Ending Night" is a boss rush 2D side scroller where you play as the Vessel of the god of Night on a mission to persuade the other Vessels to turn against their gods that plan destruction, but each persuasion ends in death, yours or theirs. The other Vessels are too blind to see any act of the gods as anything but the greater good.
Track 1 - Vessel of Blood: Your first confrontation is the god of Blood's Vessel. She represents balance, morality, life, and what makes us human. You thought she would understand but her balance is offset and strained. Her humanity hungers for an unnatural thirst, your fight together only wears down what good she has left. This is a Vessel of Chaos. Its god abandoned its purpose. It failed her.
Track 2 - Vessel of the Stars: At the end of your hunt is the Vessel of the god of the Stars. You used to work alongside each other. Pulling each morning across the night sky to a new fresh start. You stand before them now to end the cycle. The god's plan is in motion, at the end of the night on the Fall Equinox reality will end. You're no longer here to see a friend but to kill the one whose thin strings tug the stars across the night sky starting a new day. The stars will never move again, you will make sure of it. You will become the Vessel of the Never-Ending Night.
