Hystoripia Original Soundtrack

Hystoripia is a 3D action/adventure game concept, inspired by 90's games. A tribute to Zelda's gameplay and Jet Set Radio's art style.

You play as Galli Wally (the one in our cover !), a young recruit of the Hystoripia laboratory, in charge of exploring and keeping order through our own timeline.

However, Ashton Chronosia, your rival, jealously broke the balance between years and places !

In your quest to catch her, travel through vast worlds where time is messed up.
Use your newly acquired NewTron Watch to change your near environment's period, whenever you want !
Talk with people, fight enemies and interact with many puzzles in the same location... but in different years !

To imagine and compose Hystoripia's soundtrack, we used Cubase with VSTs, electric guitar (Legende Urbaine), synth (Wav_le_Hib) and samples.

Now, here's a list of each track's moment :

1_Explorer of History : Our main theme, played during intro and main menu. We mixed various instruments and sound effects from each represented period in our game !

2_Time to Quest Through Time : Ready to explore ? Here you are in Hystoripia Laboratory with its weird machines, both high-tech and mystical, created and maintained by the finest scientists. A window to our own timeline, and a gate to many locations where time needs to be repaired !

3_This Old Great Garden : The first vast world you can explore ! You're stepping in Le Jardin Des Plantes in Paris, France. Welcome in 1635 in this newly built garden, ordered by the King himself. The green of the leaves and the blue of the fountains charm you with this violin and flute anthem...
And then, a few steps, and you're facing, behind the hedges, a bar among factories and a station in 1890. Trumpets, first automatic machines, steams... what an era of revolutions !

Behind them, you're starting to walk between Walkman enjoyers in huge jeans listening to synth, driving with old fashion cars in the 80's.
Finally, you reach the centre of the garden, meeting young teens and students preparing their Shorts, dancing, chatting... in 2020's, when online techs go with any short walk outside !

But... do you know you can switch between these periods with your NewTron ? Use it, but be careful, the transition can be "unusual" for your ears and eyes.

4_The Heroic Elder Gear : After a few puzzles, it seems you've awakened a quite old gear from centuries... a Musketeer Golem. Inhabited by a former woman soldier, she's furious, accurate and fast enough with her harquebus to take you down ! A battle is raging in the whole garden, but don't worry ! Use time swapping at your advantage ! Find covers, traps,... or just go face to face with your watch's combat abilities, like your brand new MachineGun's module !

5_Just do it again : Ouch... you got down ! You fell in a trap, got down by an adversary, whatever, try again ! Don't lay your arms down, explorer !

6_Ashton's Tunner of Time : There you are, you finally found the trouble maker... However, she uses some stolen machines to create a warp through the timeline : a psychedelic tunnel among periods. Reach her within this chaos, use your watch to stabilise the flow... and beat your rival for good ! You can do it !

7_Congrats ! : Well, explorer, good job ! Peace and order are back in the timeline, time fractures disappeared in every known location ! Thanks again for playing Hystoripia, enjoy the end credits !

During this project, Legende Urbaine was the main composer, helped by Wav_le_hib to imagine Hystoripia's universe, melodies and instruments. Our passion of history helped us find accurate genres to describe this trip in the timeline !
