New for November:

"Dark Ritual" - music and sound design by Randin Graves. Available Now! Deep underground in a vast cavern that acts as a demonic place of worship, there stands a group of cloaked figures in a circle. They chant and the air wavers around them as unseen powers begin to rise. They may be summoning a ferocious creature from the underworld, or creating a horrible storm that will destroy the village, or perhaps simply worshipping a god of chaos. As their ritual progresses, the intensity of their ill-intended magic mounts until they are in a frenzy of chaotic, dark, religious ecstasy! Perhaps a scream is heard somewhere in the distance as their magic manifests, or is that scream coming from the underworld? Perhaps it's coming from the ritualists themselves, for the dark power they use to corrupt the world may be corrupting their very souls! Excellent for horror themed games.

"Degenerate Seaside Town" - music and sound design by Matthew Steckler. Available Now! Depraved locals shuffle through the street. Choppy waves assail the docks. Strangely absent are the sounds of boats and the passage of sailors, though an abandoned, decaying rowboat is bumping lazily against the dock it was tied to. Starving seagulls caw their mournful woes as they search the fishless waters. Shops shutter their windows and bar their doors when outsiders approach. Locals whisper gutteral comments to eachother, threatening outsiders with harsh glares and perhaps more sinister threats. A mad drunk weaves through the cobbled streets. The wind off the ocean is mournful, carrying a corrosive sea spray that speeds the town's decay. Every now and then, just on the edge of hearing, something can be heard shuffling about in the upper floors and basements of the dilapidated tenements. Especially great for pirate-themed games, horror or mystery games.

"Alien City Ruins" -- music and sound design by Jonn Ollsin. Available Now! Dusty ruins on a distant planet -- the kind of abandoned alien city investigators are likely to explore... or to be inexplicably lead to by the machinations of cruel gods. Nothing in such an environment sounds right. Footsteps echo strangely. The wind howls overhead and at times seems to speak with the voice of the city's long dead builders. Ancient alien technology, or perhaps the residue of faded magic, occasionally thrums below, overhead and in the distance. The place is desolate and empty. It hasn't know life or habitation in hundreds or possibly thousands of years. And yet, there is a sense that something still dwells in the city... a flicker in your peripheral vision, or just a feeling that raises the hairs on the back of your neck... Eerie music with sound effects. Especially appropriate for science fiction or horror games.

"Zombie Apocalypse" - music by Mike "E.T." Trapp, sound design by Cody Greenberg. Available 11/23! The dead are taking the city. They walk the streets, the living falling back or dying in a futile attempt to protect what is theirs. Police sirens, ambulance sirens, air raid sirens, car alarms and domestic burglar alarms, every artificial wail that indicates human disaster is going off somewhere. But what you hear are the screams. People are backing themselves into corners, falling behind, or being wounded by their comrades and left for the dead. The groans of the dead raise in pitch as they swarm over each new victim. There is a tearing of flesh, a crunching of bone, then they resume their steady progression. Some people try to make their way to the harbor where they Navy is waiting to shuttle survivors away. But the truth is clear: no one is going to make it. The circling jets carry enough napalm to level the city. You can only hope the fire wipes out the infection. If not, every city in the country is going to be like this. Industrial rock with zombie apocalypse sound effects. Great for... well... zombie horror games, of course!
