Description
We used orchestral, ambient, and experimental styles of music. We try to tell a story of a girl coming to terms with the death of her sister.The tracks are in an order in which we think you'd hear them in game. First being title and last three being ending themes. We used Ableton Live 12 to write every song.
Message from the artist
Although we try to convey a story with music. The real feeling is in the listeners interpretation.

Although I felt sometimes the tracks could bleed together and that there was a lack of movement in some, overall this was really great and the highs that stood out really stood out. The strangeness of They Found You I very much adored and I found Isolate to be the peak of the introspective vibe. That final track was definitely filled with emotion as well and was definitely the storytelling high for me. Some real good ambience all around.
Wow, you've got some really inventive and great stuff here!! Some of the mixing sounded a little off through my speakers and I think some of the VST choices could be a bit better, but that makes up maybe 1% of the soundtrack, if even that much. And of course that fully live finale put a wonderful bow on the whole project. Really great job on the composition and storytelling, absolutely stellar soundtrack!!
I've had a few longer submissions in a row now and they just keep delivering. When trying to sum up my thoughts for the entire soundtrack, a gentle lullaby is the first thing that comes to mind (probably a lot of that is from the last track haha). After making that connection while listening to the final track and reading the game description I did start to tear up a bit as all the bittersweet feelings from the rest of the album caught back up and hit me all at once. Seriously, that final track is such a great way to end it.
Gota say this is the first time someone made orchestral music for this jam. In regards to videgame music it fits the summer vibe nicely. Greath job on the textures they really bring the whole thing alive. Overall a nice sountrack.
This was my jam! I loved the whole thing and especially Isolate. I will need to come back and listen to this soundtrack again. Great job!!!
I listened to your entire soundtrack and then the queue system popped up and I had to rate like 40 more entries before it was fixed so I can't remember what I was gonna say about it lol.
I remember I liked shadow dance a lot! and that overall I enjoyed it!
absolutely an awesome mix of ambient and experimental styles. the 11-track structure works really well too, cause it felt like a complete narrative arc. i especially appreciated the thematic pacing -- from ambient introspection to more rhythmic grooves, its really cool. your instrumentation and story design shine through. my only suggestion is that adding subtle tone shifts in the strings could make certain moments even more vivid. amazing work
Articulations are samey throughout, it'd be nice to tweak them to fit the vibe each track is going for.
I really like all the drum samples used :>
Your sound choices, especially for the more ambient tracks, were great (the instruments in Memories Remain come to mind). My favorite track was They Found You, it had a great groove. I think more changes in dynamics would help make the soundtrack feel more alive, especially in the strings. They sound a little flat in places. Great work!
Love the sound experimentation! lots of big emotions and cool ideas going on everywhere. Great work both of you, truly amazing!
Why hello!
Listening to your OST reminds me of several other soundtracks I love quite a bit. The soundscapes, writing, progression, ambience, and overall mix quality are all key points that I love about your work.
You had a bunch of quite interesting moments throughout this - the first one was in "They found you". The sound selections and other stylistic decisions are really cool, and while interesting also fit very well in your music. Really reminds me of the Undertale ost lol
My other favorite was Isolate. excellent soundscape, gripping progression, beautiful melody, just great ambient work all around.
Amazing work you two!

A banger, my favorite was calm waters, an underrated track imo. Although most of the songs can tell a story without words or lyrics, Her Lullaby has a very sad undertone that is very emotional. I can tell you fellers went all out for this jam. I hope more people agree. you guys deserve it.
Big and emotional pieces! I Find Myself Here and Isolate are my favs. Well done :)
Dang 11 songs, well done! My favorite's gotta be Isolate, has that Øneheart vibe to it which I am a big fan of. Great work to both of you!

Okay I see the visual novel immediately! Love that you designed the thumbnail to explain most of everything without words other than the picture and the title. I'm going to be concise here as I'm not musically savvy enough to do a deep analysis, but Shadow Dance was a big highlight for me on an otherwise pretty flawless OST overall
for some reason I don't see my comment anymore so I'll be quick. It's an incredible OST with tons of variety and there's nothing to hate on really. Incredible work!
Damn this is so UNDERRATED!!!! This is lowkey one of the best submissions in the jam!!!!!! Hope you get some traction so more people can hear this masterpiece :P
