Description
In Monochroma, you play as Yula, a witch tasked to heal the world and prevent her own people from plunging it into chaos.
──────────────────────
These are journal entries written by Yula throughout her journey, be sure to check out the project page!
Day 1, The Beginning
The beginning of the end. A vibrant, lively world reduced to meager dregs by the abuse and manipulation of mana, the proverbial and literal river of life that flows through all land and living creatures.
Conflict. Strife. Greed. Gluttony. The sins of our mothers dried and spoiled the gardens and splendor, and what vestiges remain of us struggle to commune with the lingering traces of mana.
I simply hope there is still time to— No. There must be time to amend the suffering that plagues us all.
Day 14, The Journey
The journey laid out before me is a most tumultuous path, but I can only move forward. The witches of old have drained even the setting sky of its vibrance; the gentle ombre and shifting hues that once painted the horizon.
Magic, and the very life it sustains, belongs to everything that breathes beneath these colors. I will see to it that the sun sets once again and clear the brume which obscures the light.
Day 37, The Forbidden Lands
Misfortune has befallen the Forbidden Lands, as fractured scape and frenzied scars carve their way through wounded earth. Impure magical excess has corrupted the soil to an extent far worse than that suffered by nearby areas. Flushing this infected wound will be no easy feat, but it is nonetheless necessary to correct the follies of my people.
Day 55, The Witch
Ragged breath rasps its way through a scratched throat. My heart, as weakly as it beats, is felt in every nerve, every limb, every thought scattering my mind. My legs begin to fail beneath me, struggling to march forward toward an endless, oppressing dark. My head falls, and I catch a glimpse of myself in a shallow puddle.
I brush off the dust and doubt. If I fail here, the world will fall apart as it has done for a generation. All will be laid to ruin. Life will cease, and for a moment, I wonder what that would feel like.
Message from the artist
Hi, I recommend listening on the streaming link and I want to thank you for taking the time to check out my submission!
I also wanna thank my friends that did the art and helped me with the writing once again, I didn't have much time since my life is a lot busier than last year, so some of it is honestly a little rushed but I hope you enjoy what I made :)

this is gooooooood
the melodies here are actually insane, and the instrumentation is also really well done
the only critique that i can think of is that this needs to be longer!!!!!!!
You did some great job with mixing, because in the first track i didn't even realize that guitar was a VST plugin and not a recorded real one. Overall it sounds great!
The Journey is amazing! This OST really felt like a great journey on a new world. Congratulations!
Love, love, LOVE this soundtrack! Absolute earcandy throughout. The celeste runs atop the pads really create an eerie-yet-blissful texture that I can't get out of my head! Would've loved to have heard some more understated percussion in "The Journey", though that's just me!
Listening to this, I feel like I'm seeing things through a cyanotype filter, with little glimpses of bronze-yellow here and there. Love it!
The percussion is definitely the weakest part of The Journey, it's usually not my strong suit but I'm glad you liked it still :)
I enjoyed this submission and how it interprets the theme. You have a good mix and production quality, also nice chord choices overall and key change in the forbidden lands. My favorite track is definitely the journey. Beautiful melody and sound selection, including all the various earcandy in the background and towards the end.
great googly moogly the artwork is SO COOL!!!!!! ok i know it's a music jam but the art drew me in right away and the ost delivers!!!! really like the modulation in the forbidden lands, personally makes me feel like the stakes just got higher within the story which is also reflected in the jam description! the witch is just so so lovely, would definitely add it to my playlist if this ost ever gets posted to youtube! SUPER AWESOME STUFF!!!
Thank you so much :')
I'm gonna try to upload this on Youtube sometime this week whenever I have the chance!
Really great submission, especially enjoyed The Journey and the flute at the start of this track!!
“the forbidden lands” has PEAK arrangement! “the witch” sounds lovely
5 stars 10 stars 100 stars ALL THE STARS ! I love it!
THANK YOU FOR THE STARS <3
What can I say ? This is beautiful, very well executed, and the drawings are jaw dropping. It's the second submission I rate that I find to have a Rayman 1 vibe, but maybe I just want to play Rayman 1 really badly.
This has been my favorite project visually next to Evenfall so I'm glad people like it :')
