Description
Town by the Pier is a top down action RPG that takes place in a mysterious coastal town where NPCs vanish each night and are forgotten by morning. The player explores, fights and restores memory fragments through overworld and dungeon progression. All while searching for someone.

I went with very minimal sound selection. A string quartet (2 violins, 2 cellos) accompanied by a double bass, a single percussion and some pads (in 2 of the tracks).

I find it fits nicely with the supposed games aesthetics and style.

Track 1: Intro (Where Are You?) is meant to serve as an intro. right after you hit "new game"

Track 2 - Time Stands Still for You (Overworld theme) is the music that plays during the day when exploring the map.

Track 3 - Echoes Beneath (Cave Theme) plays when you find and enter a secret cave or underground area, that's usually small with a very simple puzzle or "treasure"

Track 4 - A Valiant Effort (Miniboss Theme). Its the music that plays when you encounter a tough enemy for the first time. My personal favorite of these 4.

Made in FL Studio.

Message from the artist
Had very little time, started late. So I kept the instrument selection minimal. I think it turned out pretty decent (more than a couple of things I would have done differently but anyways..). Had fun making this. Hope you enjoy!

Theme

Picture theme

How does it fit the theme?
The longing vibe I got from the image led to the music. And that led to the concept.
