AETHUS is a narrative-focused indie game that emphasises atmosphere, exploration, and emotional storytelling. Set within a rich world, the game integrates immersive gameplay systems with a dynamic score. The music plays a central role in shaping the players experience, using both adaptive and linear composition techniques to respond to gameplay and enhance the game’s tone and narrative.
The track ‘Lost World’ demonstrates my blending of both subtle ambience in the intro and bridge, with a more rhythmic groove based feel within the tracks A and B sections.
For AETHUS, I composed approximately 45 minutes of original music. The full soundtrack can be found on all streaming platforms and SoundCloud.
