Description
The soundtrack was all composed in sibelius and mixed in reaper. I’ve used live recorded guitar and melodica and a huge number of free VSTs.

Game is a 2.5D puzzle platformer like inside/little nightmares, with cuphead style boss fights.

1 - One Summer night - Title
This track plays during the opening titles and menu. It was written to play over the concept art theme for the game.
2 - Bike Ride - Cutscene
The opening cutscene to the gameplay. The girl is shown packing her bag for a trip abroad and she has a ferry to catch! She then gets on her bike and takes off, with you (a little plushie character) tucked away in a side pocket. She’s riding through the streets when suddenly a raccoon jumps out and attacks you both! There's a struggle as she tries to shake him off and in the choas you are flung from the bag and left behind! Now you're stuck in this massive city, unsure of what to do next.
3 - City Streets
Level 1 - the city streets. You navigate your way through the dimly lit streets, desperate for some direction.
4 - Robert the trash gremlin
It’s that raccoon again! Why is it so interested in you? The theme and dialogue music for the mischievous raccoon that knocked you off the bike.
5 - Karen the krow
You met a friendly crow named Karen, and they have some directions for you! How helpful. The illusive crow’s main theme, played during dialogue.
6 - Boss fight ROBERT
Oh no, it’s the raccoon again and it’s angry. Well, time to get back at that stupid trash gremlin. Boss music for a fight with Robert where he throws trash at you!
7 - Mr Grizzles
Meet mr grizzles, the big scary grizzly bear who thinks you look delicious! Music that plays during dialogue.
8 - The Forest
The deep dark forest! Music plays during the second level
9 - Boss fight GRIZZLES
That bear has finally decided you look too delicious to pass up, despite your pleas! Time to fight for your life! Boss music for the fight
10 - Shoreline
You’re so close now, but it’s a stormy night and you’re not sure if you’ll make it in the end! Plays in the third and final level of the game.
11 - Boss fight KAREN
What’s this?! Betrayal?! It was Karen pulling the strings this whole time! She manipulated the raccoon into attacking you, told the bear you were delicious, and all to get the shiny beads in your eyes! Time to defend yourself against this devious crow! Boss music starts with a short dialogue section with the big reveal, then goes into a loop for the boss fight.
12 - Reunited
You made it to the ferry in time and have been reunited! Congratulations! Music plays during the closing cutscene of the game and hits the credits when the piano comes in.

Message from the artist
I spent most of the week on this project, it was so much fun to make and I learned alot, and I hope to learn even more listening to everyone else's entries! This is my first ever OST jam and I can't wait to do more in the future!

Hey! this was a ton of fun!

There was great storytelling along with the written idea and it was a good listen. There were a few things Id like to see in the future like some more instruments or exploring conversations between two pieces. Like what does a conversation between the racoon and crow sound like?

As a concept, it was a great time!

Developer

They only speak to the player really, I had planned to have tracks for when the crow interupts the other boss fights and her theme would play over the boss theme in a certain way (she's portayed as a saviour and guide until the end when her true motives are revealed). Glad you liked it!
