SEASOUL OST

An imaginary soundtrack for the OST Composing Jam #7, using the image theme as inspiration.

GAME DESCRIPTION

A little girl wakes up to find a ghost beckoning her into the ocean, where she is able to breathe. She follows the spectre deep into the ocean, where she finds settlements full of different underwater species, helps to solve their problems and make the underwater world a better place.

By the end of the game we learn that the ghost is the girl's father, who drowned in a boating accident when she was very young. Some strange force allows him, from beyond the grave, to take his daughter on an adventure she will never forget.

The game would be a turn-based RPG.

SONG LIST

1. Follow the Ghost - Plays when the girl wakes up to see the ghost, and follows it into the ocean.
2. Coral Town - A town theme, taking inspiration from Nobuo Uematsu's excellent town themes from the Final Fantasy series.
3. Cephalopod Shuffle - A battle theme, for when you are fighting cephalopod-type enemies (octopi, squids etc.).
4. The Village Atop a Whale - Another town theme, for a village built on top of a giant whale. Yes, those are whale noises, not a recording of someone on the toilet :).
5. Dolphin Taxi Service - The fast travel system in this game is a taxi service run by dolphins! The chord progression in this song makes it a bit disorientating, perfect for a speedy dolphin ride.
6. Nephropus, King of the Lobsters - Theme of the king of the lobsters, a militant faction in the underwater world.
7. Sunken Mausoleum - The final challenge of the game is a huge dungeon-like mausoleum. At the end we find the father's body in a grand casket.
8. Farewell, Father - This is the ending theme of the game. It plays as we discover the truth about the ghost. It also acts as the theme of the father. Elements of this song appear in some of the other songs on the soundtrack.

This is my first jam, and it was really fun! Having a deadline and knowing that other people might listen my songs was really motivating, hopefully you like them!
