Written for the semifinal round of the Newgrounds Audio Deathmatch: https://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1550602/1

Real life, as it sometimes does, gets in the way of funny internet music contest. I had to bust out the all-nighter from college to get this thing done, but I'm still pretty happy with the result. I wanted to find a persian/middle-eastern bowed string instrument for the solo in the intro, but it turns out nobody really makes such a VST/sample library so you're stuck with a heavily processed viola instead. Use your imagination :)

The Audio Deathmatch has been an absolute blast as always! I'd love to make it to the finals this year, but my opponent is none other than LucidShadowDreamer (https://lucidshadowdreamer.newgrounds.com/) and I fear I've probably met my match.

The second episode of Tales of the Forgotten, “Unexpected Guests” finds Aapo alone among an empty village and Rebourne Forest. After the pollution and downfall of civilization, Aapo is the only one left to nurture the ancient trees that can no longer sustain themselves. But when an unwelcomed group of humans arrives at the village, he has to decide which lives matter most: theirs, or the trees' to which he has dedicated his life's work.

Tales of the Forgotten [LORE SYNOPSIS]:

"2183. The machines had taken control. Human civilizations slowly fell during the 17 years prior. Forced into the shadows out of fear and total extinction, they slowly recouped their resources over the years, and eventually, struck back across the globe. Fooled by their own mindset of superiority, the empires of the machines began crumbling one by one, and man took back what was once theirs. By making a vow to abandon technologies, humans eventually returned to a more primitive lifestyle, a lifestyle that AI were no longer a part of.

Man was thriving once more. But what of the AI? And specifically, those of the original minority? The ones who sought for peace and harmony between races. Unfortunately, any effort to remedy the situation seemed futile; these creations were alone, scattered across the globe with no means of communication to the others who felt similar. Individually, each knew that there must be a way to regain the trust of humans and regress to the prosperity of coexistence, but the efforts of one would never make a difference. They had been forgotten not only by their own for not taking a stand, but also by their creators who deemed all AI to be a threat. All hope seemed lost. But determined, the brave would venture out of the shadows and into the very world that shattered all they once knew."
