What gets to me about this piece is the fact that it's the title piece. When you download the game and open it up this is the first piece you hear. When you finish the game, it loops back to the title screen, so it's also the last piece you hear. When you first hear it, it's a little jarring, it's mystical, and gives you a sense of ominous foreboding, like you're a lost child about to set off on a journey into a twisted wonderland. And when you last hear it, everything has changed. It sounds more like an empty, hollow 'farewell' tune. The sense of adventure and childish innocence from the start is all gone. The truth that you've seen is yours to keep forever, and you the player are left alone to reflect upon the weight of the sins that you've unwittingly helped to commit.
it hurts to listen to this. bc agreeing with CypherDVoid here, this song is the music I always heard as i eagerly came to play the game. i never suspected such an ending would come here, and this music, whith the tone of mischief inclined in it, almost is mocking us for not seeing through this game and agreeingly killing viola. in the beginning, it carries an enchanting tone that leads for a fun game, and the end it just sort of dawns on you that what you did is unfixable.
On an interesting note, Viola’s name originates from flowers in the violet family, which are purple in coloration. While Ellen’s name comes from the word “sunshine” or “light”, which are known to have a yellowish hue. So Viola’s name has nothing to do with a certain string instrument. Their names actually serve as vague foreshadowing to the body swapping later on. Pretty sad, now that I think about it. Almost as if Viola’s whole existence and being was destined to switch places with Ellen...
@Millie Fisher Viola’s originally a blonde and Ellen’s hair used to be purple. As you probably know, they end up switching bodies. So now it’s Ellen with blonde hair and Viola with purple hair. Their names are foreshadowing since it describes the colour of the other character’s hair before the switch.
There's got to be some type of symbolism with a title like that. Perhaps "chair" is used metaphorically. Remember how a chair laughs at that story when the dog is shot by it's owner? Similarly, Ellen laughs when Viola is shot by her own dad. I think the chair is connected with the witch. The name "Lost Chair" might signify Ellen. Ellen used to be alone and had nobody to help her, until Viola came along.
Actually... it's not that deep. This music is from a royalty free music website. The song itself is just called "lost chair". That website hosts music that also appears in Mad Father and Ib.
@@toddknott3207 this might be late but the website is "the presence of music" there's two categories for the website, if you want to see this soundtrack you can just search "the presence of music rpg horror"
This is a game that, in my opinion, makes you feel uncomfortably cozy. In fact, that's how I'd describe all of these older RPG Maker horror games. We played them during cozy, more carefree times in our lives. We were scared, but excited at the same to go on such great adventures. Uncomfortably cozy. That's what it is.
You did not have to kill my jive with this comment 💀 it’s true… A bit of a shame the only horror games that seem to see most of the attention nowadays are trying to ride the fnaf train…. i mean, i can’t be too blind, entertainment has always followed trends, and fnaf was cool in it’s own way… but i miss stuff like this man :/
@@brogoyle Sorry sorry, lol. :'p And yeah, true. I like a lot of the more mainstream stuff myself, but there really was just something special about these kinds of games and the time when everyone was playing them. Good ol' days. 👍 I wouldn't mind these games making a comeback in popularity someday. I'd even make one myself, if I only knew how.
I just can't stop crying. The true ending was really depressing ... I mean, after all your efforts on trying to get out of the Witch's House it ends with Viola being in the Witch's body (Ellen's) and vice versa. When the father shoot Viola I was like, oh why!? But I guess that is what makes it a amazing horror RPG game. Such a twist plot can't be seen on many other RPGs, and that's something I like about The Witch's House.
Yeah I feel you, if I was there when it happened I would be rushing up to Viola, then I'd bend down hold her in my arms and a moment later I'd start sobbing for her, poor Viola.😔
Neutralized Kumiho well you see Mad Father had an interesting gaming style and story line that I found to be better than The Witch’s house, I mean for one which hits your heart more a girl whose body got switched with a witch or a girl who ventures into the unknown areas of a twisted version of the home where she grew up in to go save her father only to find out that it was the mother in whom she loved is the one who took away her father
Regardless of whether you're familiar with The Witch's House or not, this song just has the kind of melody that makes you want to sob. It's sort of like the game itself; at first it's not too bad and makes you think, "oh, it's pretty and kinda creepy too", but then it eventually gets more agonizing with each second. And near the end, the tune gets more powerful, similar to the reaction a player gets when witnessing the true ending. It truly is a tearjerker, in my opinion. I love this game a lot, and the music just makes it so much better.
This song represents the house. Initially, when you start the game for the first time, the song sounds calm. Serene. Inviting. It's so soothing that even if you know bad things will happen, you can't help but start playing. It's the same with the house. On the exterior, the house is calm and silent. Even as desolate and far away from civilization as it is, you feel compelled to enter. But after you finish the game, you'll realize entering, both the house and the game itself, was a mistake. The song turns bittersweet and melancholy. It's the same song, of course, but now you view it in a different light. But there's no going back. You already took the plunge and you have to live with what you've experienced and accept the truth. You have to keep moving forward.
I love "lost chair" way to much. when i first played the game, it was nothing more then another title screen, with annoying music- now, after playing it 10 or more times over, I can't go a few days without hearing it. It's just that beautiful
While I'm a regular to the Guertena Exhibit, I've only recently made my first full pilgrimage through The Witch's House, namely in the MV version. God, this game hit me in a way I completely didn't expect. Throughout the entire experience, I was constantly second-guessing my choices, while backed with a wonderful atmosphere. Nothing felt safe, every action was a risk. And then... the ending. I had gotten the normal ending first, and was confused at how it was just an "END?". It... seemed like it wrapped up every loose end alright, right? It seemed to make sense... Then I got the true end. To say it was a punch to the gut is an understatement. In a singe breath, the game was entirely recontextualized. It's a damn good twist for a horror game. aLSO THE FUCK IS WITH THAT WRISTWATCH WHAT THE HELL DOES IT MEAN--
Wonder if the menu background has any hidden meaning... Yes it may look like messy gradient brush strokes of yellow, green, and blue, but due to seeing so many hidden meanings and deep lores of the Witch's House, I have a feeling every speck of detail holds a twist worth discovering.
I'll never forget my favorite cast of RPGMaker horror pals! Tony, Pablo and Octavio [From Living Playground] Ib & Garry [From Ib], Aya [From Mad Father], Aki and Misao [From Misao], and now Viola and Ellen!
Mary Who could? By the way, did you know there was manga created on the alternate ending of ib? I believe its called ib saves mary. You should check it out!
Before i start the game, this background music just gives me a sense of mystery and makes me start the game. But when i return to the title screen after clear the game, this background music plays, bringing tremendous afteraffects to me. It's an old game, but I still can't forget the shock that i felt in the game.
Astounding Flyhax I think it's when someone tries to prank you when you go to sit down and they pull your chair away... And you think you've lost your chair?
This song really is a masterpiece. It starts off calmly, the glittery sound simbolizes ellen doing the spell and changing the house to kill viola, then it sounds like a very mysterious journey, full of secrets and danger. Then it takes an adventury melody and the tension increases, then it sounds like someone running for their life, full of hope, which symbolizes viola running away from ellen, and again we hear the glittery sound, meaning viola made it out of the house and killed ellen. But that last ugly note. At the very last seconds of this song. Gives you goosebumps everytime. Because it's when you realize you were playing Ellen all along. And you feel guilt, the truth slaps you right in the face. You listen to it again. And you cry.
Man this title theme feels like one of those "Defeated" themes that plays when your party wipes. It's absolutely on point because once you experience the true ending, you feel pretty dead on the inside.
A RPG Theory I made up After David (The Crooked Man) married Shirley, they moved to a cabin close to the woods and have a daughter named Viola. And even though he knew the truth of the Crooked man, he was still scared to face another creature like that and vowed to protect Viola to never suffer the same fate he have. But he doesn't know that it was too late when Ellen took her body
So davids a hunter now... but honestly I dont like your theory because its so sad. Who would want something like that to happen to David Hoover after all that he faced during the crooked man?
I played this game for the first time 4 years ago, it was also my first RPG-maker game, and still one of my favourites, is just simply amazing, the way the story is set up, the unpredictable ending, the blank characters, everything, and specially the music has won a special place in me, the part you are in the garden is for me the most sad, beautiful and hard part of the game
R van Johann Civilian,soldier... whoever it is, this song reaches out to everyone, regardless of who they are. Okay, maybe not everyone, like not a really messed up person ,but the general population maybe.
When the music rising, I imagine a white dove flying in the air, and as the music rises, the dove spreads it wings. Also when I hear the dust sounds, I see a fairy sprinkling it.
I've had strange dreams and reminiscences of an object and experience I might have never lived through. A DVD with no movie on it ; endless menus with complex tree structures and lacquer-polished design. And the music that played was haunting, haunting and nostalgic. That could have been a part of it ; it fits that setting perfectly.
This music explains Witch's house story. 0:01 - 0:14 = Start of story. Ellen in her fading vessel. (Harp) 0:15 - 0:40 = Tells Ellen's past. 0:41 - 1:04 = Story of Black Cat with Ellen. 1:05 - 1:31 = Medicine Solution and Finding Viola. 1:321:55 = Ellen having hope to escape her fading vessel. 1:56 - 2:18 = Body switching. 2:19 - 2:27 = Ellen in Vessel of Viola. (Piano) 2:28 = Start of the game.
When I first heard this song I mostly thought of characters fighting on in a harsh winter while riding on horseback. Then they all settle in and have a laugh in a log cabin with a fireside. That's what this sounds like.
Esta canción me marcó para siempre es muy bonita y sentimental y triste tiene muchos secretos en su instrumental es muy misterioso cuando lo escuchas por primera vez y luego te das cuenta de la verdad del final verdadero, es algo que no puedo expresar con palabras, este fue el fantástico juego que dio mi entrada hacia los rpg maker. En simples palabras cambio mi vida por sus mensajes y su composición...
This song describes my life; empty, somber, and devoid of any attempt at retribution. A lost cause.....a cursed soul forever in limbo between despair and agony....
I ♥ this theme, but, unfortunately, not everyone feels that way. My 12 year old sister just called it s***. Kids have no appreciation for this music, and I'm only 15 (almost 16), and fell in love with this theme when I was 14.
Mario Burgos Yeah, my twelve year old sister is now fourteen years old, and she likes it now. She calls it beautiful, but sad. I'm currently 17 years old now, and I still love it.
MOTHREFUKCING WEISS GUERTENA BITCHES WHAT UP Well, this happened almost two years ago, and as I already said, she likes it now. Maybe it's something that happens only when you get older, though if I heard this song at the age of 12, I think that I would still like it.
this song reminds me so much of the soundtrack of the old(er) Japanese TV dramas that usually aired in the afternoon. It also reminds me of a part of the A Bridge Too Far Theme (accidentally mistyped Bridge Too Fat.. lol). Anyone else?
The frog riddle was the massive spoiler of the entire story and ending When the frog became infatuated and had to be pushed into a steel door as a sacrifice 2020 people o/
This is the song of rage. The song after and before game over, the one you hear when you know you have failed. But in truth, every time you fail, the good Viola wins. So listen to this song a lot, and be happy for yet another victory for Viola.
What gets to me about this piece is the fact that it's the title piece. When you download the game and open it up this is the first piece you hear. When you finish the game, it loops back to the title screen, so it's also the last piece you hear.

The truth that you've seen is yours to keep forever, and you the player are left alone to reflect upon the weight of the sins that you've unwittingly helped to commit.
+CypherDVoid That's a really beautiful way to put it, and it's so true.

You should be a fucking author.
*Claps* Nicely said, it perfectly captures the sadness that the title screen music was supposed to bring.

This makes me think of a field of poppies. And beside those poppies is a small grave. A grave of a soldier who died in the war.

Pack up your stuff, kids!! We're going on a Feels Trip!!
*_yAy_*
This is so pretty! ^w^
Esta canción me marcó para siempre es muy bonita y sentimental y triste tiene muchos secretos en su instrumental es muy misterioso cuando lo escuchas por primera vez y luego te das cuenta de la verdad del final verdadero, es algo que no puedo expresar con palabras, este fue el fantástico juego que dio mi entrada hacia los rpg maker.
En simples palabras cambio mi vida por sus mensajes y su composición...
I think this song is inspired by Ennio Morricone "Love Theme (Cinema Paradiso)", just listen to it. Anyway, both songs are so fuckin' great.
YES! I heard that Cinema Paradiso love theme on the radio and immediately thought of Witch's House
Nice! xD
The best song for all time
I've heard the first five seconds of this quite a few times!
I need a 10 hour version of this song.
Remember when i’m preparing for license exam and put this on repeat while reading.
It was like 4000 loops in total.
Nice.
This song describes my life; empty, somber, and devoid of any attempt at retribution. A lost cause.....a cursed soul forever in limbo between despair and agony....
I ♥ this theme, but, unfortunately, not everyone feels that way. My 12 year old sister just called it s***. Kids have no appreciation for this music, and I'm only 15 (almost 16), and fell in love with this theme when I was 14.
+Elisabeth Heiman I always loved this too, I love the Ib´s and The Witch's House's OST since I have 12 years old (Especially Ib's OST)
Mario Burgos Yeah, my twelve year old sister is now fourteen years old, and she likes it now. She calls it beautiful, but sad. I'm currently 17 years old now, and I still love it.
You should teach your little sister proper manners.
MOTHREFUKCING WEISS GUERTENA BITCHES WHAT UP Well, this happened almost two years ago, and as I already said, she likes it now. Maybe it's something that happens only when you get older, though if I heard this song at the age of 12, I think that I would still like it.
Elisabeth Heiman Just because she changed her opinion of one thing doesn't mean she will for everything.
this song reminds me so much of the soundtrack of the old(er) Japanese TV dramas that usually aired in the afternoon. It also reminds me of a part of the A Bridge Too Far Theme (accidentally mistyped Bridge Too Fat.. lol). Anyone else?
この曲、ニューシネマパラダイス感あって好きなんだよな
ふみーて割と才能あるよな
Appears in Mikoto Nikki too!
Would anyone happen to know the song that plays where the "talkative plants" are? It's a very lovely piano piece.
The frog riddle was the massive spoiler of the entire story and ending
When the frog became infatuated and had to be pushed into a steel door as a sacrifice

Richt... Viola...?
Wendy Dee
Yes of course dear Ellen!
I will be always by your side, even in your dying breath
I wish there just was way to take your place...

Mary No! Not Winnie the Pooh bear! NOOOOOOOO- oh wait, nah u good. As long as its not a psychotic girl in bandages with long purple hair.
+Tomatoa shin Tamatoa? That giant narcissist crab in Moana? I loved that guy!
This music is realy nice
This is the song of rage. The song after and before game over, the one you hear when you know you have failed. But in truth, every time you fail, the good Viola wins. So listen to this song a lot, and be happy for yet another victory for Viola.
Errrr.......you read the book right?
If this ever gets an anime , this song would fit the opening
Helps me to get sleep
