Answered Prayers:Soundtrack: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 20:56, 8 July 2024

The soundtrack of Answered Prayers consists of 40 tracks in total, able to be found as short, looping audio files in the Music folder. These have been furthermore remixed in RPG Maker 2003 by slowing the tracks down or speeding them up in certain areas.

Many of the tunes create a rather melancholy atmosphere and often feature weather sound effects to set the mood. The Game Boy World contrasts with 8-bit music, and the Japanese-themed locations have traditional Japanese instruments incorporated. There is a leitmotif with some tracks - the Title Screen track, Unanswered Prayer, is reflected in such tracks as Hollow Place and Ocean Depths.

This page creates a list of the original 40 tracks, their variation in the game and also songs that inspired the creator of the game, Klaufir, in their creative progress.
