About the Music
Being a 7 day jam, we were not able to fully accomplish what we planned, but the concept behind the project was to create an interactive score that would fade layers in and out to represent the level of darkness Aurora felt while isolated from society. Completing puzzles would help reduce the darkness or fear surrounding light.
