So! Yet another new track slot has come to join the party, and this time it's the funni "everyone dies" route that gets it lmao.
But yeah this track fills the same sort of role as Enemy Retreating from Undertale Yellow, only starting to play in regular battles when you're getting closer to exhausting a given area's kill count. The other two motifs are fairly straightforward choices, but Alpha Bookstore Theme... I'm defo aware that's a bit of a curveball without context. I realized it would fit like an ironic glove since as currently used in a lot of tracks in the AU (including unreleased tracks/planned updates,) the motif has wound up being tied to a loss of control, in one way or another. Vanessa and Snatcher lost control of their fates, Peregrine lost control of that and her mind, Moonjumper lost control of their freedom... And in the Entropy route (also TimeWarp but shush,) Bow loses control of her sense of self, to put it lightly.
I also drew a LOT of stylization ideas from Adventure's End from Mario & Luigi Dream Team -- ties back to the BAATH and Megalovania, and helps to emphasize that you are choosing to make Bow bring this world down to its knees, to its end. (Also I suck ass at drumlines, so I referenced it heavily for the one I wound up transcribing lmao)
Nerdy talk aside, I'm p happy with how this turned out. Hope you enjoy! :3 --Ashley

The Conductor fills Mettaton's shoes in this world. It turns out that, admidst all of Conductor's schemes, *Tom* has been the one secretly pulling the strings. Tired of the foul way he's been treated all these years, he orchestrated every way that Conductor's plans to triumph over Bow ultimately failed. And the desired result? Show Conductor's audience the real him, the one that isn't putting on a performance.
Tom's ulterior motives have forced Conductor into a position where he has to come clean about how they feel -- TRULY clean. After a furious battle on his part, Conductor finally cracks and admits that he misses DJ Grooves (or "DJ Peckneck" as he keeps calling him.) He admits (among other things) that it's long past time for the two birds to bury the hatchet. Before Conductor leaves to do just that, he apologizes. To the viewers for having to see him like this, to his owls and (only slightly reluctantly cause of the very fresh betrayal) Tom for the way he's treated them all these years, and lastly... to Bow for all the trouble as she got swept up in all this.

Mustache Girl takes on a hybrid Asgore and Asriel role. After her painful thoughts and emotions bubbled back to the surface and overwhelmed her, she smashed a Time Piece in a fit of rage. After a long endurance battle however, Bow Kid is finally able to break through her facade. Mu shouldn't need to feel like she *has* to go through with this, Bow says. In spite of what Mu has convinced herself, she is NOT alone. There IS a way out of this special hell, and Bow will be there with her every step of the way. Everyone who shouted at Mu starts to feel increasingly guilty as Bow breaks through further, and start apologizing en masse (even the Mafia!) It's all too much for Mu, but now in a different way. For the first time in a *long* time, she finally feels like she's allowed to be vulnerable again.

FINALLY. AFTER A YEAR AND A HALF OF BEING STUCK IN CREATIVE LIMBO BECAUSE OF MY PERFECTIONIST ASS, THE HIS THEME REPLACEMENT IS REEEEEEEAL. :D
But uhhhhhh ye, consider this as a bit of an early Christmas present for you guys. As is now likely very obvious, I wanted to go with a Doctor Who inspiration for the His Theme ever since the beginning. This track went through a ton of turmoil behind the scenes. From Kristian having carpal tunnel and needing to stop, from me outright scrapping elements I added to this *multiple* times, and even MULTIPLE key changes...! Just yeah, this was a pain to finalize in the way I wanted, due to me *desperately* wanting to get this right the first time and avoid another BE IN THE GAME.
In spite of all the chaos though, I'm pretty happy with how this turned out. I hope y'all enjoy as well, and happy holidays!! :3 --Ashley

The ever-agitated Mafia Boss takes on a hybrid Flowey and Mad Dummy role. He already wasn't a pleasant guy before (being mashed into mush and stuck in a jar certainly didn't help,) but ever since Mustache Girl took control, his anger has been off the charts! Above all else, he wants to get his body back and have his revenge on the red-hooded brat, and he sees Bow as the *perfect ticket* to grabbing the Time Pieces unhindered. He is encountered several times throughout the story, even beyond Subcon Forest, with this meeting in the Nyakuza Hideout being the penultimate one.

Bet y'all didn't see this coming, huh! >:D
Ok but fr tho, I finally gave this track a couple more much-needed tweaks. Cause *christ on a fuckin BIKE* the old version of this is showing its age, and not in a good way, needless to say. I had a VERY monetarily fortunate December (to make a long story short,) so along with finally getting ProjectSAM Swing + Swing More legally with no strings attached... I also got Diamond Jazz Orchestra from Native Instruments!! Defo looking forward to using em more in the future. As for here though, I mainly just added the saxophones from Diamond Jazz to supplement some backing stuff, and swapped the ending piano instrument with SGM Honkey-tonk. (And tightened up the mix a wee bit, but that's neither here nor there lol.)
Also you may notice that the ending piano motif is now completely different. Well, that's because -- shock of all shocks -- I've grown dissatisfied with the current iteration of Moonjumper's tracks and plan to have them updated again!! Yayyyyyyyyy. :')
But anyway, the old ending piano motif is one of the decisions I made that I finally realized sucks eggs in the context of being part of the original Dummy! track. So uhhh ye I slightly adjusted the ending section of Mafia Boss' Grand Finale and decided to use THAT for the ending piano here instead. A lot happier with how this mix turned out in a lot of ways, and I hope y'all enjoy!! :3 --Ashley
(P.S. Lil sidenote, but I'm genuinely kinda *shocked* at how well the main section of the track holds up compositionally. Cause the original version of "How Rude!" was DEFINITELY a case of me just fucking around and happening to stumble across something good, not even using a proper key guide like I tend to nowadays.)

...Yup you're seeing that right. This track is higher up in the OST order, as it's used in more scenarios than the original track it replaces!!
Had a ton of fun doing this arrangement. As soon as Pascal Michael Stiefel dropped Nyakuza Goons Causing Trouble, I knew it would be a PERFECT stylistic fit for the "predummy.ogg" replacement. Threw in some Mafia Town motifs for good measure, and also changed the stylization of some things to fit Mafia Boss *slightly* more. I used *some* more "game-like" soundfonts in this, but ProjectSAM Swing and Swing More are what I wound up using for a large chunk of this track's backbone, along with some Xpand!2 presets for good measure.
All in all, I'm pretty happy with how this turned out, and I hope y'all enjoy! :3 --Ashley

Rather than have a character bio in this section, I want to discuss the scenario this track gets used for. During the Entropy route, the killing spree you embark on is causing the already fragile timeline to begin outright collapsing. The timeline's unravelling is happening in such an extreme way, there’s enough scrap data within reach for the Conductor’s owls to extract from outside of time itself. So Conductor has his owls use said data to "reconstruct" certain characters that you've battled before (not just on this route,) and spread them all across the Mafia Flows to stall "Bow" for as long as possible. ...But since the data *is* just scraps, the process isn't perfect. And due to these imperfections, there are certain quirks that aren’t present in the original fights that (even moreso than the actual power boost) contribute to these rematches being a real pain to take down.
------------
Motifs:
-Death Wish
-Collapsing Time Rift
------------
And to complete the "normal" battle theme quadrilogy, we now have an actual replacement for Stronger Monsters! This was always the plan for where the track would get put, and why it's so low down on the OST list. I've admittedly been very "utilitarian" with a lot of the stuff I've put into this AU; I don't wanna add something like this or (just for example) Megalo Strike Back to the OST roster if it doesn't serve some form of purpose. (See: Collapsing Timelines + the Peregrine tracks.)
Anyhow. Am genuinely so glad I had the opportunity to commission GamePlayah here, he knocked this out of the park. Really nailed the vibe of Death Wish, and added some nice flourishes. Hope y'all enjoy as well! :3 --Ashley

The Twilight Bell is a new location for the AU, not taking the place of anything pre-existent from Undertale or Deltarune! An optional area, where it's apparent that the Nomads and Goats know *way* more than they let on, especially in regards to Bow Kid and what's controlling her. This would be where a theoretical player would find out about the broken Time Piece and how it latched on to Bow, as well as a lot of things about Bow's species. It's also where, in a deep isolated section of this already isolated place, you'll find Peregrine.
Any normal encounters in this area would pull a Deltarune and flee the second the “player” tries to fight, so it’d be impossible to gain extra EXP here on an Entropy run.

The Empress takes on Undyne's role. Mustache Girl's extreme crackdown on crime at the beginning of her reign killed the Nyakuza dead in its tracks, forcing them to go deep into hiding under the grounds of their former Metro. Empress is ruthless in guarding her home, and will stop at nothing to ensure an intruder’s swift demise. ...Especially so with Bow, who she hates with a *burning passion* due to a case of mistaken identity. (More details in the overall AU document.)
Upon first encountering Bow, the Empress doesn't have anything clever to say. No intimidation, not even a *facial expression.* She just immediately and FEROCIOUSLY begins chasing Bow until eventually losing her. ...And unforunately this won't be the ONLY chase Bow has to endure.

Wanted to have the "Undyne" track redone (more on that in the second upload of this trilogy,) and then I realized "Hey. Since I commissioned Shade for the BTERTD/BAATH, maybe I should approach him again for this batch." So that's exactly what I did, and he knocked everything out of the park once again!
For this particular track, I suggested this Sans chase theme (https://soundcloud.com/dumbdumbstupid/dusttale-sans-chase-theme) as a stylistic inspiration. He really ran with it and made it fit this AU's interpretation of the Empress so well!! Hope y'all enjoy. :3 --Ashley

Finally, a version of the "Undyne" track (sorta) that DOESN'T suck ass!! (It's now rolled in with the "NGAHHH!!!" slot as well, hence its placement in the OST.)
Anyhow uhhhh ye not long after I originally uploaded "Beware of Cat" last year, I became insanely unhappy with it and was QUICK to decanonize it. The Empress having a "forboding" track like that for her *first* track just... straight up didn't make sense, given how things have tracked with her in this AU. Really glad I had it redone, and can now say I have something for this slot that I'm happy with. :)
This iteration of the track deliberately drew inspiration from Bowser's theme in Mario & Luigi Dream Team (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0f-buIrr_RM) cause fUCK I LOVE THE DREAM TEAM OST BAYBEEEEEE, and also cause it rly fits this AU's Empress. Hope y'all enjoy! :3 --Ashley

Moonjumper replaces Gaster. After escaping the Horizon, they're just barely holding on to their existence. Glitchy as anything, their form phasing in and out of view, distorted speech... the works. MJ desires to finally get a proper foothold in this world once more, but needs Bow Kid’s help... help that they'll never get on the Pacifist and Neutral routes, as it requires Bow to do things that she'd normally never do. But as much of a fool's errand as it is, Moonjumper fights Bow on those two routes anyway when she encounters them at the broken giant hourglass. You aren't really able to lose to them, as they heal you right when you would be about to die, but hey! No pain, no [[game]], am I right? ...If nothing else, it gives time for em to get some cryptically cynical thoughts off their chest. Having your attempts at power thwarted so royally and losing control over the very concept of your existence... kinda does that to a person.
After the fight however, Moonjumper says a few more things that (though *very* dickish) SEEM to indicate the tiniest amount of hope, then just fades away without a trace, their grasp on existence being weakened just enough for it to slip completely... for a while at any rate. =)

So! As I alluded to in the "How Rude!" update's description, the process of updating (and adding more to) the Moonjumper tracks has officially begun. Still have to decide what I wanna do with the others, but I figured I'd start with the obvious two tracks that should get the treatment first: "YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO" and "BE IN THE GAME" respectively!! And as much as I liked Kristian's original version of "BE IN THE GAME" especially, they just. No longer fit the AU as it currently stands. Complete overhauls from the bottom up have been in order for well over a year now.
Along with the new Moonside lead being transcribed from it (dunno why *I* never thought to just use "Oh It's You" itself,) the stylization of YNST's update is actually based on an unreleased cover of the V1 made by Saur (@saurdino420.) She's an awesome musician, and y'all should definitely check out her work.

Moonjumper replaces Gaster.
In the Pacifist and Neutral routes, you have to take something significant of MJ's that still lingers in the mortal realm (a monocle perhaps?) to a hidden steelworks area in Mu's castle, where (among other things) they made some of the gold Mu statues that you see in AHIT canon. There, MJ double-crosses you by possessing/controlling one of the statues and vowing that you won't leave the room... alive. No matter the tiny amount of regret they may have, they're still a rat bastard in the ways that count.

In the TimeWarp route, after Hat Kid's (well) TimeWarp attack creates a schism in the space-time continuum, Moonjumper is FINALLY able to properly break through back into reality... by wrapping their strings around Mustache Girl's soul and taking control, becoming Moonstache EX in the process. I mean, come on! You REALLY thought them selling you the ThornCrown was *just* to help Bow to escape their binds? Ain't ya ever heard of a good ol fashioned double-cross!?

...Never thought this track would reach what's technically its 10th version like, ever. XD
A *big* thanks goes to Shade (@hi-im-shade) for providing the drumless render of Killing Two Birds that I sampled and edited here. Was defo a big ask of me, considering it was easily over two years since I'd originally commissioned it, and his help was greatly appreciated! Really wanted to more "authentically" splice the PoN replacement if I were to ever redo this track, and now I'm proud to say that I've accomplished that here. In addition to implementing that, I've done the same lead and hits motif updates as YNST's redo... AND put in the new "Freedom" motif to boot, among other things. This is easily *the* most radically different a version of BE IN THE GAME has been from past ones, but defo the most satisfying upgrade so far.
I'd be remiss if I didn't also mention a couple of the BIG SHOTs that inspired the direction I went with here, BITE OF '87? by itsaleccio (https://soundcloud.com/aleccio6/bite-of-87-v2) and SOME HELP by R.V Pine (https://soundcloud.com/feelings-or-well-evelyn/some-help-rv-pine.) They're genuinely incredible works by equally as awesome musicians!
But all in all ye, this redo was a TON of fun to complete. Hope y'all enjoy! :3 --Ashley
(P.S. Yup, you read that right! Although I don't have any art for it at this point in time, and am honestly keeping Aster's awesome Moonstache thumbnail as a matter of tradition at this point, the Moonjumper fight now has a Pacifist/Neutral variation!!)

Just your luck that you ran into her then, huh! =)
Determined to put a stop to you, or stall so people can get away from you if nothing else, Vanessa finally feels compelled to engage in a fight. It will be a gruelling endurance battle, with her hurling some of the strongest attacks you would face on either of the two routes this battle happens on.

(slaps roof of Time's End AU) This bad boi can fit so many new OST slots.
Ok but in all seriousness though! I've had at least the TimeWarp route's version of this idea down for quite some time, but I recently realized that I should probably expand it some more (even if only a little.) So although the OST placement of this reflects its chronology in the Entropy route, this Vanessa battle now happens in both Entropy and TimeWarp routes! You can read the main AU write-up for more details on the former, and the dedicated TimeWarp document for the latter.
As for the song itself: HOLY SHIT IT TURNED OUT RLY NICELY ON BOTH FRONTS!! A lot of you long-time fans of mine may have noticed that I actually lifted the title wholesale from one of my old Nomadic Prince AU tracks. And yeah fun fact, my original plan was to overhaul that old track. But then I realized "Wait... this track sucks ass. Especially for this new context the Time's End AU would be providing." So I pondered even further, until it struck me: **I HAVE MONEY GODDAMN IT!!!**
I've always wanted to commission Jayze, and since I was in a financially lucky spot in December '24, I finally seized upon that opportunity. Suggested his older IN A PICKLE track (https://soundcloud.com/jjaym15/in-a-pickle) as a basis to draw from, and he really delivered - and then some! He's a fantastic musician that was a pleasure to do business with. And Raven's art... DAMN IT TURNED OUT SO WELL! Glad I got to work with her on this as well.
All my gushing and nerdy comments aside tho, I hope y'all enjoy the track as much as I did! :3 --Ashley

That's right, the new track slots keep rolling on in!!
But uhhhh yeah, since the main menu is a LOT closer to A Hat In Time than Undertale, I figured "what AHIT-based game is complete without a title screen track?" And well, here we are! Deliberate stylistic inspiration was drawn from the Mario & Luigi series here.
Kristian did a fantastic job on this, and I hope y'all enjoy! :3 --Ashley

The Conductor fills Mettaton's shoes in this world. He may be the sole greatest influencer in the bird entertainment now (thanks to him ousting Grooves during the initial "Time's End" fiasco) but... he's *incredibly* bored and agitated. There are no obstacles in his path to success, and only now does he realize how much he *despises it* -- though he'll be damned if he EVER admits to missing DJ Peck Neck (for now at least.) His kinder side -- although still faintly there -- has become a LOT harder for his crew to see over time, especially Thomas the Inventor, who receives the brunt of Conductor's unchecked cockiness and fury nowadays. Bow Kid's arrival in the Mafia Flows makes Conductor immediately pounce on the opportunity for something CLOSE to a rival in his life again.

...Bet you weren't expecting a double whammy upload tonight, huh?
That's right y'all, another new face enters the scene! As soon as I saw Kibo had opened commissions, I couldn't resist the opportunity to work with him. He did a fantastic job on this, and it was incredible doing business with him. Y'all should defo commission him/otherwise support him if you can!
Also ye, not much to say. Jazzy track for the funni It's Showtime track, also fits with The Conductor here. Hope y'all enjoy! :3 --Ashley

This replaces all of the Uwa! tracks. Like, *all* of them. Kristian did a great job on the track, and I hope y'all enjoy! :3

Also... if I may be completely honest with you guys for a bit? I am *very* burnt out on A Hat In Time proper. I'll never give up on this AU of mine, of course; it's still my homonculous of a baby and I wouldn't have it any other way. Rest assured that there *are* still things being worked on for Time's End in the background. But if things get WAY less detailed in these descriptions going forward... well now you know why. Appreciate y'all baring with the constant gaps in uploads. :3 --Ashley

I have more Brothership stuff in the works, and even one that's very close to being done, but I figured I'd settle the score with something from A Hat In Time that has plaguing me on-and-off for quite some time.
To say I dislike the original Time Trials track would be a *gross* understatement. I understand it was from an earlier point in AHIT's development, but even in comparison to the rest of Eric Gleiser's tracks for the game, Time Trials sticks out like a sore thumb. It feels very much like "we have Plants Vs Zombies at home," not helped by a huge chunk of the bassline basically being a weirder sounding version of Brainiac Maniac's.
I already slightly rearranged a small chunk of Time Trials for my cover of Whisperjas' Zombotany (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLS4zXgRnralvKhnT1AA5ms08M2PoNLobt,) but I decided it was finally time to do a FULL arrangement. If this is gonna be "we have PvZ at home," then it might as well be the best executed version of that style that it can be, damn it! To that end, I actually transcribed a tiny bit of Brainiac Maniac from memory and used some PvZ1 instruments, as well as PvZ2. I also drew a LOT from my Zombotany cover here as well in terms of structural ideas, and added a bit from Clocktowers Beneath The Sea at the end too! Not much else to say rly, I'm pretty happy with how this turned out. Hope y'all enjoy! :3

A Hat In Time: Time’s End was created by MysteryMa'am (aka Ashley.) It is an AHIT/Undertale crossover AU of sorts, taking place in the aftermath of a timeline where you lose the final boss fight against Mustache Girl. The write-up is over on AO3! The direct link to it, along with the write-ups for the Neutral Endings and TimeWarp Route Requirements, can be found in the bio links!

The logo for Time's End was designed by BittyBattyBunny (https://bittybattybunny.tumblr.com / https://bsky.app/profile/bittybattybunny.bsky.social.) They make incredible art (and are great at crocheting too!) - be sure to check out their work!!
