A downloadable asset pack

Forty-two tracks for a game that goes down. A complete gothic dungeon-crawler score in one musical voice, built on a single idea: the cathedral is sinking, and every theme in the album is the same hymn heard at a different depth.

Six hand-authored cells are all cut from one seed. In the lamplit hold at the top the hymn is intact. In the crypts it is inverted — the same shape pointing down. In the battles it is contracted to single steps and made to scuttle. And the final boss states it with the resolution removed, over track one's own organ-and-choir voicing at the same tonic.

That is not a description, it is a measurement. The seed cell is stated in all 42 tracks, 374 times, under 4 distinct transformations — counted from the MIDI by a proof that ships inside the pack.

What is in it

  • 42 tracks, 38 of them full pieces (not a stinger pack padded to a number) across 19 slots — title, prologue, two towns, shop, two inns, five exploration halls, five crypts, three caves, two ambient beds, three undercroft themes, five battles including a normal / elite / desperate set, four bosses, two sacred pieces, a sorrow cue, an ending, and four stingers.
  • ~68 minutes of music.
  • Editable .mid sources beside every .ogg. Re-orchestrate it, re-tempo it, or pull a single line out for your own arrangement.
  • Sample-accurate loop points for every looping track, plus per-engine import notes.
  • Royalty-free in your game, commercial use included. No attribution required.

The proofs ship inside the pack

You do not have to take any of this on trust. proofs/ contains the full run:

  • 754 music-theory checks over the MIDI — key membership, resolving progressions, voice-leading, no parallel fifths, melodic singability, motif recurrence per track, arrangement texture, register separation.
  • 489 signal checks over the rendered audio — no clipping, loudness, duration, novelty curve, and loop-seam continuity measured either side of the join.
  • A pack-specific proof of the one claim this listing is sold on.

Honest notes

Everything above is a claim about the notes and the files, and every one of them is re-derivable from the package. None of it is a claim about how the music sounds — that is what the free demo is for. Four tracks are free and they are chosen to be the argument: the hymn stated whole, the same cell inverted and sung as litany in the crypts, the same cell at battle tempo, and the final boss. If the idea does not survive your ears across those four, do not buy the other thirty-eight.
