About This Game

Atonement is a short, linear story where you play as Dustie, an old AT-TR 4 cleaning robot who has to reach the last rocket off the now destroyed Earth.On the way to the final rocket, Dustie finds and rescues Orba, a companion bot designed to be a child's best friend.You're on your last battery with only days, hours, and minutes left to reach the rocket and escape. Will you make it in time, or will the rocket leave you and Orba to rust in the endless piles of trash?

About The Music

The Game Jam theme of “Trash” inspired my use of industrial drum samples and lo-fi processing to create a distorted, gritty texture.To emphasise the game’s futuristic, dystopian setting, I incorporated a synth bass, providing a dark and mechanical foundation. The game’s setting and narrative heavily influenced the composition; I employed a drone to anchor the music, establish mood, and provide tonal colour throughout the experience.Piano and harp highlight the character’s innocence, introduced through a simple two-note motif. As the game progresses, I gradually add harmonic and rhythmic layers, increasing complexity and, at times, introducing dissonance to reflect narrative tension.It was important that the music hit narrative beats to highlight character pogression though the story. For example, on level 4, when the player sees the rocket / the game's win condition for the first time, the "Wonder" Theme Plays, which quickly diverges into the "Disappointment" once the player sees all the obstacles in their way.
This is just one example where Fmod and Unreal Engine was utalised to trigger musical transitions that either added a new layer or transitioned to a new part of the score._{You can listen to the score and see the Fmod events below.}

About The Music

This version of the film contains my interpretation of the Music brief.The music draws inspiration from the scores of John Williams’ Jaws and Bernard Herrmann’s work on The Birds and Psycho.I also created an original arrangement based on a violin piece by Johann Sebastian Bach, which is featured during the retelling of
“The Practice Ghost” story, serving as the piece she was performing at the time of her death.The blooper sequence is underscored by a pre-existing guitar and drum composition of mine, selected to reinforce the comedic tone while injecting energy and momentum.
