    To those of you who are curious, this is indeed a redone version of one of my "attempt" songs. I'm currently in Jamaica, so I didn't really have time to make a whole video. I also get back on a Wednesday, meaning I'll only have 2 days to make a vid next week. Might take a break. Not sure yet. I hope you enjoy this one! It's a personal favorite :)

    sounds vaguely like an investigation song, maybe for a murder investigation

    sounds like one of the trial themes that starts playing during one of the minigames, or when the protagonist/the whole class has a moment of realization.

  • @Gensis-nf5iw
    @Gensis-nf5iw 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This sounds very similar to Apollo Justice, the old NDS game. Its whenever you use his bracelet to try and find subtle reactions to quetions Apollo asks. For example they're hiding something and their hand scratches the back of their head every time the question is repeated.

    I like to imagine a big sideways cylinder representing the geometry of your world, the bottom of the curve being like an empty city street and the rest being semi normal, but the whole world from beneath you is slowly rotating, gravity maintaining its direction as it turns, meaning you have to find a place to go when the sky comes beneath you
