Description
Genres: Synthwave, Bass Music, Chiptune
DAW: Audiotool
I made DAYSHIFT & NIGHTSHIFT two sides of the same coin. They're fundamentally similar songs, but there's a distinct contrast between the two to show how insane things will get during the night shift. Specifically, this final night shift. UNPAID OVERTIME would play just before NIGHTSHIFT to signal that the character you control has completely lost it.
OST & Game Description: You work at a cybernetic research & development facility. Your job is to aid your coworkers in the upkeep of a cybernetic portal. Word on the street is that the portal's destination is supposed to be the Astral Plane. Sadly, you're the one who is always pulled aside to do the things that nobody else wants, like cleaning the damn toilets.

The day shift is a simple, passive factory simulator. The night shift is an extremely overwhelming and downright unbearable mess of unreasonable demands, and angry corporate big names, and what makes it worse is that you are being forced to work unpaid overtime, right after your day shift was supposed to end.. Not tonight. This is where everything changes. Tonight is the night you break the contract that binds you to this job. Screw the consequences, you want your life back, and you'll get it by any means necessary. This night shift will turn into an aggressive beat 'em-up; as you slowly walk towards the exit of the facility without permission, ai enforcement units are deployed to put you back in your place. You will need to use whatever cybernetic tech is around you at the time to break out.. including that damn toilet plunger.
Runtime (Without Loops): 2 Minutes & 51 Seconds
Message from the artist:
Make sure you take care of yourself, especially in this time of declining mental health. You still have a whole LIFE to live, don't let anyone or anything take that away from you.
How does it fit the theme?
Society may have evolved technologically, but socially, it's the same thing. Same workforce ideology, same politics, same social classes. There are amazing things that you can experience in this age, things that you never could have in the past, but nobody is safe from the consequences of deep-rooted corruption.
