Take the role of Nirvora, a peasant girl from a poor family who discovers she has been gifted with magical powers. With each choice you make, her story takes a different path: Will she be a scholar or a soldier, a cunning outlaw or a mighty sorceress queen? There are dozens of different endings, and each storyline weaves together to create a single far-reaching narrative.
For the battle theme, I aimed for something that was very raw and tribal. I used samples of old skinned drums, vocal shouts and low brass, while avoiding the sounds of modern warfare. Drum patterns are split into different areas of the stereo field to make it sound like you are standing in the middle of the scene, surrounded. I don’t usually have the opportunity to be bombastic with my writing, so working on this theme was a lot of fun!
