You are ELO, half human, half robot. For most of your unnatural life, you have served under the command of ARC2To, the mastermind behind the enslavement of all humanity. However, a glitch in your code forces you to gain your human consciousness back, letting you leave behind your master and return to your natural form as a human. Your human form yearns for the freedom of humanity. However, you are now the most wanted criminal in all of New Game. Will you successfully obtain the freedom of all of humanity, or will the matrix you escaped from be your doom, all while fighting the code you were born from?

• Song 1 - ELO’s Theme

The opening scene shows ELO walking towards a human enslavement camp. The frail limbs and uneasy postures of its residents are surrounded by super soldiers built with one purpose: to relay the commands of ARC2To. As the music builds, ELO creeps closer until finally unleashing a brutal attack on the capturers. With another camp clear, ELO leads the now free humans to their new home, Blanket.

• Song 2 - A Haven For Those Abandoned by Their Master

This theme plays at the location where every human lives, free from any robots. It’s a society struggling for scraps of food, shelter, and any basic living commodity. Even with a robot named 9iX ELO reprogrammed to provide help to the citizens, there is barely any life there. Any and all hope in this haven relies on the protection and resources ELO can provide for them. Through subtle world building between ELO and robot, we learn that ELO was once a super soldier under the leadership of ARC2To. 

• Song 3 - Caught

One day, while ELO is returning humans to the haven, ARC2To launches an attack on the haven, forcing ELO to go into defense mode. Though ELO and 9iX hold off as best as they can, their efforts are in vain as all of the once free humans are now trapped under purgatory thanks to their glorious leader. In a sign of disrespect, ARC2To destroys 9iX in a show of defiance to ELO.

• Song 4 - Before the Rust Settles (A Deal)

Plays while ELO is in jail. Old society rules state that once in jail, if you challenge the leader to lethal combat and win, you may take their place as leader. ELO, suffering from rusted limbs and, with the rest of the free humans’ lives on the line, challenges ARC2To to the throne. 

• Song 5 - ARC2To’s Theme

This theme plays out when ELO begins to fight ARC2To, the leader of humanity. Through an intense battle, ELO destroys the leader and gains hold of the crown.

• Song 6  - A New Programming Language

This song plays at the end of the game. ELO programs new code requiring the robots to free all of humanity and enter a new, harmonious relationship with the humans.

This was my first composing jam, and I had a lot of fun. I don't have a lot of experience with mixing and mastering so if you happen to have any feedback, please let me know.
