Auritas

Auritas - Adventure Fantasy Ghibli-styled game

The adventure of a girl who cannot fall asleep because of the darkness in her room. 

Her mother, tired of notorious bedtime stories, tries to find a solution.

The key turns out to be a bedside lamp with fish (screenshot), which takes her to a magical world while she sleeps.

The girl encounters on her way many fish and fish-like creatures of the underwater world - the good and the evil ones.

Among them are the Auritas (small weird ghibbli-style creatures) whom the girl does not understand at first, but they turn out to be a shining guide in this dreamy world.

Her struggles are noticed by Mother somewhere above who is always trying to think of her.

During the creation, I thought of some anime from the ghibbli studio, mainly my favourites Princess Mononoke and Nausicaa :--))) 

I'm certainly no Joe Hisaishi haha but I had a lot of fun looking at the picture and just creating whatever comes to mind.

Also, there's no denying that I was also inspired by game soundtracks such as Minecraft, Celeste, Tunic, Hyper Light Drifter which I return to most often.

I wanted it to be more ambient-electronic than orchestral.

All in Fl studio, main plugins - Triton, LABS, Purity and Massive (shoutout Disasterpeace :pp) 

I mainly made small changes to the sound design already in the presets and focused on the moment rather than a professionally arranged composition
