I just loved this game in general, but they did an especially great job with the music in this game. While, if you think about it without playing the game, it won't really make much sense. But if you have the game and experience it, it's a totally different thing. It can make you feel so intense at any moment, it can comfort you in even the most grueling moments, sometimes being fitting, and other times making you feel the opposite of how you should. Let's start to dignify a few:
Don't you worry love, it's just the end of the world: This plays at the first grueling and cruel moment at the game. You have just opened up your heart to someone who would help you, and he did, he made you feel a bit better about yourself. You reveal things to him that you would never think you ever would to anyone in the game. And then, you begin to exit. He walks to you, with the door out locked. He talks to you for a few short moments, and then his tone gets darker. Then and there, he brings you down, killing you, butchering you like a worthless beast. And yet, this song plays. It makes you feel so calm...so relaxed...so...safe, just as you see your vision blurring and your blood spewed upon the walls.
What's the whole world: You're gone from the world you know of. You are in an alternate plain-- an entirely different world. A world, as if in a dream. Headed to a way down the acidic water, leaving the world, and soon to wake up in the world of normality and cruelness. After a short time there, you've finally reached where you can return, but to a place even crueler and unfair. Then, you go down. Say goodbye to this "other world". You go down, the water green as acid as a corpse matching you floats to the surface. Then the confined area you're in dents. It dents more. Then it continues to crush, and crush, and crush. If you can die so quickly, what's your life worth? What's the world worth to you? Either way, you go back to the even worse world.
Inside: Towards the beginning of the game, surprisingly. You've died-- over your own volition. Suicide. Then, you are granted immortality and sent back to the world, the exact opposite of what you had hoped for. To get there, you still need to make a sacrifice of blood. You get to the only place left, open up the wooden plank with a crowbar and reach out into the bloodied mess of a hole. You've almost reached the lever inside, and then blood spews everywhere. Your arm is now gone, you hurry to the exit, trying to find anywhere to go as the door closes on you. The rock and roll ensues as your blood is splattered everywhere, and you head back to see a machine activated by your own blood-spill. The door opens as the rock continues, you continue, walk ahead and ahead as your blood is lost at a violently quick place. You're heading back to the world you had cut yourself off from, experiencing true pain and never wanting to again. You want to be as good a person and live life to it's fullest without pain, but knowing that you cannot. You finally escape and back. The music is calm and sincere, but it's going to tense up again, just as your life of damnation.
Forever: My favorite of all, quite the best for the last. After all your strife, after all your struggle, and after all your futile deaths. You go for the greater good, leaving a truly wicked demon of a man spared and alive. He won't bother you anymore, and this is your last life. You've learned off of everything, and truly embraced life. Meaningful things have happened, whether evil or good. You are ready to live life as full as you can. Your best-- no, your first, and maybe only true friend has died of her tragic illness. She's gone. Forever. You've opened up your heart and were butchered brutally. But you impaled the damned man and killed him off for good. Yet you soon go to the worse and worst. Bleach is poured down you, ridding you of what makes life sensible. Killed by yourself, yet again, finally to intoxicate one killer and shoot the other dead. Your only friend is hung, alive, but ready to die as the chair is kicked away and the girl is strangling and squirming. The serial killer is mute and ultimately causes his own death, luckily, you get your friend back in the nick of time. Then that girl's worst enemy, the man who indirectly tortured her entire life is at last found. Kill him, and he, you, and your only friend are all gone. You stop her, and after all this, you spend your friend's last days in the hospital, waiting for life to pass by and for it's strings to be cut. Now, to live. Live on. Life is unfair, but all you need is to get up again.
