Finally finished this after I started it over the summer.


I came up with it after contemplating the idea of being stuck in an endless loop, similar to the game Exit 8 and others like it. But eventually, it became more than that. It became about feeling unmotivated and carrying on out of pure obligation.


I won't bore you with all of that, though. GarageBand has some really nice distorted pianos.

I’m sorry

I can hear that plodding and empty feeling. Sounds like climbing a staircase, bells, and I concur with Guileness that there is a feeling of winter in it.

I'm sorry about the emotional break that led to creating it, I'm happy that you can put emotion into art, and even when your art may be sad or melancholic in deeper ways than letters alone can convey, may you remember to not be defined by those parts of you alone.

Wish you well, and i'm glad the ice cream helped.

Ever considered making an ice cream character that gives of itself to help others be in a better state? May only be treating the symptoms rather than the core, but that can still be of help in first steps for the other person to get to the root of what whirls inside their heart and mind.

Been listening to this for about a couple of hours now and loving it.
It reminds me of C418’s work, specifically Volume Beta and a couple of songs from Circle, along with an ever-slight feeling of Stardew Valley’s Winter music.

In fact, this piece makes me think of walking through Winter's silent, cold winds while it snows. Bleak yet solacing.

Very well made.

Thank you! I need to check out his stuff beyond the Minecraft soundtrack.

...holy shit this is a deeply goddamn melancholic and hopeless-sounding piece. You did damn good, but fuck, this just drains the life outta ya.

Thetageist responds:

Yeah, this was some stuff I needed to get out.
