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.

Written for 'OST Composing Jam #7' for the prompt 'Inside my World.' Inspired by Japanese orchestrations, especially from Ghibili and Final Fantasy.

Beyond The Meadow

Delve Within The Soul - Lucid

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.

I'm pushing beyond my limits by taking on the super challenge. I explored how to create a piece that works seamlessly both forward and backward, not only in terms of notes but also textures and timbre. My process started by selecting sounds that could easily be flipped and still function normally in reverse. I used synths with identical attack and release times, ensuring that they would perform consistently whether played forwards or backwards.

Additionally, I recorded some sounds, reversed them, and blended them with the originals to create unique textures that work in either direction. For the composition itself, I opted for an intensity pyramid, building up and then coming down, which felt like a natural way to unify the forward and backward elements and keep everything cohesive.

This piece has a slightly experimental feel since the entire project was a huge experiment for me. It was a tougher challenge than expected, but I learned many new techniques I hadn’t considered or thought of.
