Hi, all! All three of these tracks are reversible and sound exactly the same played in reverse (Challenge C).

I played a lot of Frostpunk last month, so I initially had the big storms and survival in the cold in mind. The reverse effects and sounds naturally reminded me of time running backward. I can totally imagine an epic strategy survival game where time manipulation is the core theme. In the game, I would use both halves of each track according to the gameplay. When time is running in reverse, the music would do so too.

Time Paradox: Main theme, used in the most challenging moments.

​The Journey: Beginning of the game and maybe an idle state.

​Don’t Look Back: Main menu theme.

Thanks to Sandbox for this really cool challenge. Palindrome music was a new concept for me, and I had a ton of fun experimenting with it. Also, thanks to my brother, Anton. He created this awesome cover art and provided me with some feedback for this soundtrack.
