Adrasteia
2024
Adrasteia is a first-person dungeon escape game. The player must pick up a crossbow and solve puzzles to make their way out of the dungeon alive. However, a monster is chasing you and you must use your wit to survive and escape before it catches you.
​
Adrasteia had a sort of medieval or renaissance fair theme to it. It also had a "cult" that had captured the player, so I tried to incorporate all of those pieces while still making music that was enjoyable to listen to as well as fear-inducing and exciting.
All music was created to be loopable as they would play on repeat during the game.
Main Menu Theme
The main menu theme has a chiming bell throughout it to represent the cult. It also has a sad and mysterious music box to add to the horror element. There is a faint bass and electronic topper that ties in with the rest of the soundtrack.
Credits Music
The credits music is somber. There is a drum and bell that are present throughout. The piano melody on top is sad yet hopeful.
Chase Music
The chase music that plays when the monster spawns in is electronic and driving. It is supposed to both instill fear in the player as well as encourage them to move a little faster. It is electronic with hints of more "traditional" spooky music like organ.
