Kagegona - Where No Bubble Dares To Dwell

Kagegona - In The Middle Of Bubbles

Kya, a young girl of 12 years, possesses a unique and mysterious gift: she can travel through the memories of the living and the dead. This exceptional gift was passed down to her by her mother, but at a tragic cost: her mother lost her life giving birth to her.

Since that day, Kya lives with this strange and fascinating power, but also with the weight of her mother's sacrifice. One day, she decides to embark on a quest to uncover her origins and discover the secrets behind her gift. To do so, she must follow in her mother's footsteps and reach her tomb, located in the legendary Golden Forest.

Kya knows this journey will not be easy. The Golden Forest is an enchanting but dangerous place, where every step can be fraught with peril. Along the way, she will encounter characters as varied as they are intriguing: unexpected allies, guardians of ancient secrets, and wandering spirits seeking peace.

Despite the challenges and dangers that lie ahead, Kya moves forward with determination. Each encounter is a lesson, each obstacle a trial to overcome. She must draw from her memories, and those of others, to find the strength to continue and unravel the mysteries of her gift. Her journey is as much a quest for truth as it is a path to maturity.

Through this epic journey, Kya not only discovers the true nature of her power but also the hidden story of her mother and the reason she was given this gift. Gradually, she understands that her destiny is intertwined with that of many others, and that her adventure might just change their world forever.


Each piece of music follows a narrative order.

The Gift of Memories : The main theme of the game. It expresses Kya's heavy burden and the stakes of the adventure.

Bear's Spirit : Kya awakens the Bear, guardian of ancient secrets. Kya will use his powers to soothe him to sleep.

The Old Man : This music is played when Kya meets a funny, clumsy old man. He lives in a wonderful place and possesses mystical powers.

Mommy's Memories : Kya arrives at the tomb of the golden forest. She finally meets her mother through her memories and understands why she left her this gift.

The Gift Of Memories (Main Theme)

Spirit Warden is a narrative puzzle game set in a dystopian future where nature has widely reclaimed its control of world. You play as a spirit, Ashe, who has awoken with no memory of her past. Ashe is tethered to the world only by a soul-bond with a young girl traveling alone with a dog. Compelled by an innate urge to help the child, Ashe accompanies her on the long journey ahead.

In the fantastic world of Blisster, souls (or people) grow as bubbles... yeah !

Every single form of life came to existence as a bubble, and they all wander in the Big Bubble Universe - the Blisster.

The magic part is that these souls actually exist inside and outside of their bubble. They see the world in different perspectives on each side and sometimes meet deep.


The game will take you on a journey which questions how we perceive others.


The concept is that it will be playable a first time throught the inside world. Then a second playthrough would be the same experiences but on the outside world.
As, outside of your bubble, outside of yourself...

Song description :

In this fictive game you'll embody Saul.

 
1 - He'll be exctracted from the Mother Bubble, the Origin, inside his own world, his "bubble"...
It's "fiesta creation!" a lot is going on here to show the innocence and joy of a begining.

2 - Then he will be exploring his thoughts, his feelings, his world.
I tried to evoke a walking/wandering feeling for this one...

3 - This one is ambiguaous. It could be the separation of one self, identity wise i guess, or the rising awareness about the others existing around you.
So I went mixing/clashing several ideas I had to convey this.

4 - This is finding peace, far from Mother Bubble, in your world, and with others :)
Yeah chill piano, couldn't finish this one :'(



PS : The songs/chapters have two potential names depending on the perspective of the game. You're free to interpret !

Enjoy.
