Description
'Departed Reef' is an Underwater Adventure/Mystery game.
Your boat is capsized in a massive ocean storm - and you pass out in the chaos. You awaken in a mysterious coral city that looks like it has seen better days.
Throughout your adventure, you come across many creatures that have once lived in the city. It is your job to figure out why they left - or if it was even their choice at all.
The genres of the soundtrack range from ambient to electronic. We used Ableton and FL Studio to create these tracks.
1. Departed Reef.
This track is the establishing 'main menu' track for the game.
2. Deep Sea.
This track represents the open water area of the game. The player has to swim all around the reef to locate different clues, and ends up out in open water. Something lurks in the distance...
3. Siren Song.
This track is meant to represent the realization the main character has when they figure out the sirens are the ones responsible for everyone leaving. As the track evolves, the sirens approach with their whale army - and hunt the main character down.
4. Coral Town.
This track is meant to be a finale. You have brought the ocean back together, and the reef is thriving yet again.
Theme
How does it fit the theme?
We came to the idea of 'Atlantis' when brainstorming our idea for this jam. We built off of that as a foundation.
