About the Soundtrack:

Aground Zero is the spinoff to the original Aground.

This an immersive musical odyssey that captures the essence of exploration and survival. The dynamic score blends vibrant textures with electronic elements, creating a soundscape that evolves alongside the game players actions. From familiar motifs that evoke the serenity of discovery to intense, high-energy tracks that heighten moments of tension, the soundtrack is a "PAI" companion to the player's quest to rebuild civilization.

All of the music was designed with the player in mind first. The goal was to break the monotony of game loops in survival / crafting sims by inditing seamless fusion transitions for a harmonious game-play experience.


About the game:

The world has ended. You are deep underground, and all alone with a cheery AI companion. You will have to mine and build to survive, and search for other survivors to help you. Will you be able to reach the surface? And what will you find when you get there?

Thank Yous:

Thanks to Fancy Fish Games for the opportunity to score the game.
