Disturbing Video Game Music [70]: 13
wet smell of stone, gravel. tiny drips and splishes from the underground pond, almost completely undisturbed. boots clunking down the cold stone steps. cold, cloying dark. moist, dark wood around your door. fresh, earthy smell of wet oak. water beading on the cave wall. water on your hand. wet hands. you're alone. empty. close the door behind you. home is quiet.
quiet.
silent.
something is looking
oh hey there's some diamonds over there
and that's the DVGMs for 2024! thanks for listening and reading, everybody-- the numbers on these uploads have been crazy, haha. i guess i shouldn't be surprised, though; the second video in the playlist w soft skin is well on its way to dethroning my ancient giygas upload as the most viewed thing on my channel
i love this track. this is another pick, much like my heaven previously, that outwardly is a very typical DVGM pick but i actually get more of a feeling of comfort from it. probably because i used to listen to it a lot while playing salmon run with friends, before i upgraded my capture card and could listen to the game audio in real time on my PC. it has the perfect level of unsettling quietness and uneasiness to stabilize me while dealing with those hordes and also listening to a bunch of people on a call haha
that part where it suddenly cuts out still gives me chills, though. sudden, complete silence is horrifying. it's the feeling of suddenly becoming acutely aware that someone is looking at you
