[] Cry from Haumea

A distress signal, an abandoned research outpost, and a weird trail of debree under the ice. The planet is abandoned and lifeless…or is it? In this story-driven side-scrolling shooter you take the role of a lonely explorer on a rescue mission. However, nothing turns out to be like you expected. When Brutenis showed me preliminary screenshots and described the ambience of their game, I was instantly hooked. I stopped the work on the music for my own team’s game for a while to come up with this mysterious, but somewhat hopeful soundtrack. It starts of rather silent and slow and follows a breathing structure, creating kind of a sighing effect: a figure is first played slowly and then again twice as quick to lead to the next figure. This happens three times, until reaching a climax in the third figure. The overall theme is repeated twice. However, the second time background distortions are added to the mix.
