----About the Game----
B.F.T.T. is my future action-packed mix of hack-and-slash and third person shooter, in which you play as multiple characters, each with their own story.

Everything takes place in a city called Corpeole. Because of a non-physical barrier that appeared 12 years ago, its citizens are trapped inside; even concepts can't escape. For those outside, Corpeole simply doesn't exist. With space-time inside of the Barrier being unstable, guests from all over the multiverse emerge, with some of them holding hostile intentions.
Humanity, having discovered the existence of souls relatively recently, is utilizing them as energy sources and weapons, calling those who have successfully merged their soul with crystallized soul matter "Users".

So thousands of teams were formed across Corpeole to take care of these threats, getting the common name of Breach Forces Termination Teams (B.F.T.T.). Our main heroes, a battle robot with artificial intelligence M-47 and an anthropomorphic mutant cat Clara, are members of B.F.T.T. №7923, one of the most successful B.F.T.T.s of the Central ring of Corpeole, which is overseered by Kwantim corporation - the most influential corporation in Corpeole. M-47 uses creative combinations of a rich arsenal of plasma-based weaponry, being effective against smaller groups of enemies and Clara uses her savvy and tricks to deal with foes much stronger than she is, utilizing traps and various automatic combat systems for crowd control and area denial, also being the team's hacker.

A threat like no other befell Corpeole - the approaching of Entropy incarnate, a fallen angel that calls himself "Destroyer", and there is no time to prepare global defenses. Will our heroes be able to find a solution before it's too late?

----Previously in B.F.T.T.----
-Act 1-
B.F.T.T. № 7923 successfully stopped a major invasion and defeated M-28, M-47's predecessor from the times of the global war in which human souls were used as weapons and energy sources for machinery, before the Barrier was formed.
Ever since their parting because of destruction of M.I.R.E.R.A., the corporation where they have been created the sentient robots had different views on the world - one saw humanity as masters and the other saw it as obstacles.

When M-28 was defeated, he gave M-47 a warning - something is coming. Something they can't stop. Right before he turned off, he hacked the security systems of a nearby prison, setting free two of the most dangerous criminals he could find in the database. He knew that his fleet didn't have a chance against the most advanced ring of corpeole, but he knew what he was doing.

-Act 2-
On the next day a few B.F.T.T.s reported the breakout. B.F.T.T. №7923 went to investigate and found the only guard alive. Watching the footage from their bodycam and listening to their panicked rambling they identified the escapees - a 1 class User, Hadron Samurai, the leader of terrorists that aim to overthrow all corporations, including Kwantim co. and unite Corpeole, and an A class User, The Warper, a sole scientist bent on revenge towards the CEO of Kwantim co. - Joey Kwantim, for unknown reasons.

After finding Warper's facility, M-47 and Clara entered it, finding out that Warper is somehow related to the Barrier, but then they were effortlessly defeated by him and barely escaped certain death. They understood that dealing with the escapees head-on will be impossible and went to investigate further, before recieving an emergency from a nearby fusion power plant. They parted ways, M-47 went to deal with the emergency and Clara went to infiltrate the terrorist base.

In the power plant M-47 met the Warper, who was about to overload the reactor to blow the whole Central ring up to get rid of Joey Kwantim, so M-47 was forced to face him. On the verge of death he realized that right now he is afraid to die, just as he was afraid to let people die 12 years ago when the Barrier was created. If he is capable of emotion, then he must have a soul too.
As his newly discoevered soul merged with crystallized soul matter in his power core, he got immensely stronger and was able to hold his ground against the Warper for enough time before backup came, defeating him and making him retreat, contemplating about his ways.

Meanwhile, when Clara successfully infiltrated the terrorist base, just as she got caught and cornered, Hadron Samurai himself dismissed the guards, freeing her. She recognizes him - Hank Gosuro, the researcher that made her that way, merging crystallized soul matter with a stray cat's soul after saving her from rabid dogs.
He asks her to join them, referring to her as "his daughter", to which she harshly refuses, furious at him that he is the one made her a mutant. She fights him while he tells the guards to not intervene, to let her prove herself. After the fight he walks away, letting her go, saying that if she really believes herself right, so be it. Before that he gives her a flash drive.

----ACT 3 Beginning----
After searching through the flash drive, they find terrifying footages and entries. It appears that Kwantim corporation, the most influential corporation of Corpeole, the one that discovered the existence of souls and invented inter-dimensional travel, its leader Joey Kwantim being called Prometheus for "giving humanity divine knowledge", was secretly performing gut-wrenching experiments on people, most of them related to souls, for many years, while being known as the staple of Corpeole's progress and safety, and, as they found in one of the reports, Joey Kwantim himself made a deal with Destroyer, its terms unknown. Obviously, they couldn't just publish the files, since Kwantim co. also overseers the whole internet, besides, even if they manage to get it through, nobody would believe them because of Kwantim co. reputation and they don't have time - from what M-28 said in act 1, Entropy is almost there.
​
Having no other choice, in desperation they decide to do something that seems impossible even for one of the strongest B.F.T.T.s out there - direct assault on the Kwantim co. main office to take Joey Kwantim down before their deal with Destroyer comes in fruition, most certainly bringing this world into oblivion.
​
----Meaning of the tracks----
​
​-To Surpass Gods-
​While Clara is working on hacking the office's security systems, M-47 walks towards the main office of Kwantim co. The music starts just as a low hum, but dynamically changes as the player approaches the office and a majestic view unravels before them - an enormously large ​tower, widening from the center of height towards the peak, piercing through heavens.

​-Inhumane Humanity-
​0:00 - 0:41: M-47 and Clara successfully enter the office with fabricated guest cards and go towards the elevator to go up right to Joey's personal office, although the staff gives them weird looks.
​0:41 - 01:36: Suddenly, a female voice announces through the speakers - "A terrorist attack is currently happening. Staff and guests, please remain calm and avoid open places. To all security units, capture and neutralize B.F.T.T. №7923."
​​He was aware that they know.
​As guests around start panicking, the elevator shuts down and groups upon groups of cyborgs come out, attacking M-47 and Clara. M-47 tells Clara to retreat, but she already rushes in - she won't back up against those who experiment on people just as she was experimented on.
​01:36 - 02:17: Calm parts between floors.
​02:17 - 02:48: Suddenly, their road gets blocked by advanced machinery that uses crystallized soul matter as energy sources just like M-47. There is no option for them to retreat through a window and Clara runs up the wall of the tower, avoiding obstacles, while M-47 circles the tower, flying up and fighting off security drones and aircrafts.
​02:48 - 03:16: They break back in through the window on the highest floor. As they walk toward Joey's office, they walk past various cabinets, two of them having the names on them erased. After some restoration M-47 is able to recognize the names.
"Dell Anguria, lead astrophysicist"
​"Hank Gosuro, lead nuclear physicist"
​It appears both the Warper and Hadron Samurai worked in Kwantim co. before and were pretty close to Joey Kwantim himself.
​03:16 - 04:04: Before they get to Joey's office, they are blocked off by another B.F.T.T. that they often worked with - they are now terrorists, so their former allies become their enemies and they would do the exact same thing in their place. Are they really doing the right thing, then?

​-Unyielding-
​As they approached Joey's office, suddenly, their way was blocked not by a security unit, but by a staff worker - Joey's personal assistant and secretary, a titan Leria. They try to talk her out, but she simply responds, that, even if it's true, even though he's done many mistakes in his life, Joey is a good person, and she won't let them reach him even if it costs her life.
​She is visibly afraid, and her fighting style lacks any experience, yet she holds her ground fiercely, using her weak innate magic through amplifiers designed specifically for her, before the battle is suddenly stopped with a bright flash and a shockwave that sends the heroes away.

​-Prometheus-
​Between them and Leria stands Joey Kwantim himself with a smug relaxed smile, saying that for terrorists they sure like calling themselves heroes too much. When M-47 shows the footages and calls him a monster, Joey shrugs and says that he didn't know that monsters save humanity nowadays. Suddenly, he then drops his smug behavior:
​"You think I WANT to do this? I have to. How the hell do ya think you're recieving your power supply? If I find a way to fabricate souls and make everyone a User... Thousands upon thousands'll stop dying every day. But, guess ya like playing heroes too much, huh?"
​He smiles at them bitterly, before turning around to Leria with a concerned expression and tells her to immeidately evacuate everyone and herself. She reluctantly nods and runs off, as he turns back to M-47 and Clara with a smile.
​"Welp... Honestly, didn't expect guests today, but if ya insist, come on in."
​Then, he disappears in a blink of an eye.

​-Lamb Suit-
00:00 - 00:40: As M-47 and Clara enter Joey's office, he is standing in the center of a giant circular room, turning around to face them. Clara grits her teeth:
​"Don't act like you're trying to help anyone but yourself, jackass! You think killing and torturing people will help them?!"
Joey looks at her with frustration:
"Ugh, take off your lamb hides, won't ya? We're one and the same, but I actually do something to save us."
​Then Clara and M-47 rush in simultaneously.
​00:40 - 02:26: Joey is one of the strongest A class Users, his attacks mostly being smooth and relaxed, but at the same time very well-trained and fast. He is occasinally changing the arena, hopping between dimensions with the very tech he invented, which got humanity to the next step of evolution.
​02:26 - 02:45: He moves them to another pocket dimension and teleports away, trapping M-47 and Clara, but M-47 uses Surpass - the ability he gained after his soul consumed crystallized soul matter during his fight with Warper - and breaks them both out. Frustrated, Joey enters his Battle Mode - the form only achievable for A class Users, shaping their appearance to fit their soul better and boosting their abilities on the whole another level. Unlike other Users, Joey can stay in his Battle Mode for hours.
​02:45 - 03:49: Much stronger and faster attacks, barely possible to hit.
Instead of taunts he is now revealing the truth.
​He created the Barrier.
​He did it to unite humanity against a common threat, to end all wars but one and save it from self-destruction.
But one thought terrified M-47 - it actually worked. With Kwantim co. influencing the whole Corpeole there were no more wars and almost no conflict, everybody worked together to survive.

​-Too Late-
​00:00 - 00:47 Eventually, Joey knocked them both down. Just as he was about to finish them off, suddenly, a voice rang through Joey's comms, carrying immense spite through its calmness:
​"Long time no see, mr. Kwantim."
​It was the Warper. While all security units were busy with M-47 and Clara, he sneaked into the facility, hacking global Corpeole television and broadcasting every single hidden file, complete with transmission of Joey's confession about creating the Barrier.
​Joey didn't respond through the comms and backed away from M-47 and Clara, letting them live, as his expression darkened:
​"Welp... Don't, say I didn't warn ya."
​Then, he teleports away.
​00:50 - 01:52: Act ending credits roll as M-47 and Clara go through an alleyway to stay hidden - despite reputation of Kwantim co. plummeting, they are still terrorists from now. As they contemplate if they did the right thing, all of a sudden, the sky splits in pieces - it's not a regular dimensional rift. Everyting starts shaking as buildings around them deform and decay, the ground breaks apart in floating islands of land, as everything around them slowly falls into darkness. It seems that Joey's unknown deal with Destroyer was the only thing delaying the Entropy. And now...
​They are too late.
​He is coming.

Message from the artist
holy CRAP it's the first time I've done more than 4 tracks for an OST Jam

Theme

How does it fit the theme?
Corpeole exists in isolation from any other world, unknown by anyone outside and forgotten. The third act of BFTT provides answers to why was it left to be forgotten and closed.
