Face Yourself

SOUNDCLOUD LINK TO LISTEN: OST - Face Yourself

I ended up joining a day late, but here goes nothing:

The theme "Freedom" and the photo provided made me think about mental health struggles and overcoming them.

For context: So the *very rough* game idea that came to mind would be where you play as a character representing yourself and progress through levels that reflect struggles that happen in life. For example, one stage would have a "battle" against an enemy representing fear. Another would represent grief, loneliness, depression, etc. The final "boss" would be you fighting a shadow version of yourself-- a physical culmination of all your weaknesses, fears, and struggles. Defeating this final boss "frees" you from the prison of your mind (referencing the theme photo).

Inner Conflict - This soundtrack is the music that plays during that final fight against yourself. It's a rather upbeat pace since its a fight, but at the same time, evokes a melancholy, almost nostalgic feeling as you fight against what feels like a dark inner-self. The soundtrack attempts to reflect these emotions while also being something that can loop as a fight soundtrack.

A Farewell to Who I Was - This would play immediately after you defeat the final boss during a closing cutscene. It shows the moment of overcoming all your fears and growing into a new person. In context, the goal would be for it to be a dramatic and emotional moment, so the soundtrack reflects that via grand strings and a gentle piano. 

That all being said, I hope you enjoy! I had so much fun whipping this together in a very short period of time. If someone wants to develop this idea into a game, let me know! I'd love to help.
