Meander by Metamaniac
Nearly 2 years ago (as of NYE 2023), I got together with 2 very good friends of mine to work on my most ambitious singleplayer narrative world idea yet for a "secret santa"-esque jam. Development was kinda turmultuous (largely due to me going through some shit at the time and being bad at giving directions as a result), but we got a good deal done to ship a functional non-story demo of the environment assets, movement mechanics, and- well- soundtrack!
I've been sitting on this OST, essentially 95% completed, for nearly 2 years as a result, waiting for the world's inevitable *release* before shoving this out into the world for you all to enjoy. For a variety of reasons though (which boil down to "we've *all* been busy"), our production hiatus has continued and will likely continue into the foreseeable future.
...So- I figured I may as well polish up and ship the cool music I wrote as a standalone thing as a final holiday gift!
(Release date signifies the date the demo privately launched, when the soundtrack was *basically* done outside of some incredibly minor mixing tweaks that came up as the result of 2 years of improvement and knowledge ahaha)

If you listen *really* carefully in the dead of night, you may just hear a soft maniacal laughter in the wind; accompanied through the air by a gust sourced from an organ most powerful- weaving a tale of dense contrapuntal harmony so *devious* that you can't help but crack a small- wry smile, and laugh to yourself as well.
That's me, sorry.
No- I will *not* keep it down.
