Writer/Composer/Arranger of Rambley Review here, so glad you enjoyed the song in Indigo Park chapter 1! I'm very passionate about the impact and meaning behind my numbers, and there's sure to be more in future chapters, so look forward to it!
Hello there RecD! I'm writing this before this comment blows up.
You made that song? No wonder it sounded like typical nerdcore stuff. (no offense)
Love the song! Bought it on Bandcamp… also it makes me tear up for some reason
It's a super good song, greate job on it
"Th3badd3st feeling in my bones-ones-ones. The only garten that I know-ow-ow."
You re genius😂
pFF
jajajajajajjaajajjajaajajajjajajajaajajajajajaja😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Genuinely one of the best tropes of Mascot Horror.
Who doesn't like music?
Honestly I’m totally down for more mascot horror games having musical numbers as long as they are properly pulled off successfully and adds to the experience and doesn’t unintentionally kill the mood and feels soulless
Or heck, why not ones that actively enhance the mood? I’m sure it’d be possible to add in a musical number that makes the player uneasy, tense, potentially full on terrified if done right.
@@sambeckettcat Oh absolutely and hopefully more games moving forward will if they have musical numbers incorporate them like that
KinitoPet and indigo park’s end songs where based on portal
Changed my mind
Kinito pet felt, as Baddest said, more like a creative twist on DDLC's, they felt similar. Meanwhile Indigo park definitely did have overlap with portal
Kinitopet's song, to me, felt inspired by both the end songs from Buddy Simulator 1984, which was one of the inspirations for kinitopet itself
Another inspo I thought about Kiniko's song is Daisy Bell
@@cuppoboba9400 oh yeah it would make sense since the song was sang by the first synthetic voice
I don't feel like it is based on portal, but still, portals end credit songs go hard like nails. Both "still alive" and "want you gone"
Your Reality makes me cry every time I listen to it. It’s so bittersweet yet so beautiful. DDLC as a whole is genuinely one of the best games of all time and I stand by that wholeheartedly.
Never agreed more
Your Reality slaps so hard
It make me wish I could have appreciated this game *enough* from the moment I knew of its existance. DDLC touched my heart after Your Reality and that depressing yet wholesome scene of Monika letting Sayori cry on her shoulder
Rambley Reviews and World i Built for you are amazing songs and are Perfect ways to end there Games
In My Opinion
Also Sleep Well itself is a Indie Horror song Masterpiece
(in my Opinion)
Yeah these endings work perfectly for the games' concepts and narrative
*Also: WE WANT FREEDOOM, FREDOOM, FREEDOM FREEDOM FREEDOM*
I know it’s not a horror game but you should definitely talk about “Billy Bust-Up” someday as it’s quite literally a 3D platforming MUSICAL AND ITS A BOP.
Another really good example of songs in indie horror is the credits song for Killer Frequency. On the surface it's just a standard 80s song which fits well for the time period of the game but if you listen to it a bit closer the lyrics all reference the main antagonist Marie and the tragedies she went through and you also learnt about over the course of the game. That song perfectly encapsulates the tone of the game and is a fantastic ending to a phenomenal game.
I find it interesting when horror creators put UA-camr fan songs into the game (I know you meant Sleep Well by CG5) like in Bendy where you can find instrumentals on radio. It shows that the fans are important to the game’s community and I find that kind of sweet. (Also Rambley Review is now my favorite from this list because it’s just so charming and wholesome)
Regarding Rambley being a twist villain, UniqueGeese has stated in a livestream that Rambley is NOT evil. Though given that he just wants the best for the park, for his friends, and to have a friend, I think he'll be more of "The road to hell is paved with good intentions", given that it was shown that in his perspective, him decapitating Mollie is actually him saving her, and that the end credits song shows that he truly wants the protagonist to stay as much as possible. He'll be more like Caine in TADC, wanting the best for his friends but mistakenly doing something bad for the characters instead all for what he thinks is right.
Personally i'm worried he's gonna get killed off.
I really like how Rambley and Caine are the ones who truly want to make it right but fail despite being so advanced AI. But at the end, they are just AI 😔 which also makes mistakes
@@spotlightanimation6719me too 😭
I have to say, KinitoPET song supriced my SOOO much, it bounced from 8/10 to 8.5/10. It felt weirdly cute? Like its not cute in natural sence, but I just felt unnerved, and in same time I felt relaxed. Its weird. I love that.
Your opinions for the game aside, Dark Deception does truly have some really good music for a indie game, probably my favorite set of tracks is Agetha’s, I just love how over the course of the level the stages theme changes to more creepy sound tracks, and Agetha’s chase theme becomes more aggressive, as she gets more and more pissed off at you, and you begin to see the schools true form, plus her boss theme, is amazing, with how somber it is in some parts, since this is the point in the level when you begin to realize how tragic Agatha actually is, with her basically having a mental breakdown in fear of failing Malak.
Something that has bothered me about Th3 Badd3st is how they say they aren’t a fan of Dark Deception and has even said they hate it in the indie horror game tier list livestream. But comes back whenever they drop something new, plays the spinoffs, brings it up in videos that aren’t necessarily about Dark Deception and sometimes replies to tweets from the developers. That isn’t the behaviour of someone who isn’t a fan.
I feel like Th3 Badd3st is a classic example of a fan in denial. They are frustrated with the very slow development, bugs that don’t get fixed and naivety of the developers decisions, but are desperate for more reasons to hate the game so start seeing things to hate that aren’t there. A quote I like says, “Hate is too strong of an emotion to spend on someone you don’t like.” Meaning people only hate someone/something because deep down they actually like it, if they didn’t like it in the first place then they wouldn’t care if it was bad.
@@ITS-ME-NARDIE I think they keep pretending they hate it, because they already said they hated it multiple times, but then they got their ass handed to them by their community and they realized that their complaints were very silly, and now they like it, but they don’t want to admit their wrong, I know I do it sometimes too, but I also agree with what you said too and think that could also be the answer to what ever the deal is with their opinion on Dark Deception.
@@alecpheonix0761 I recognise the behaviour from the toxic FNAF fans. They say how much they love the game one day, how special and important the game has been for them. Then Scott Cawthon does something they don’t like and suddenly FNAF is the worst game ever made, how they never liked it and how everyone else is either faking that they like it or they are too stupid to understand what quality game is. But when the next FNAF game comes out those fans are suddenly back to praising the franchise.
I’ve noticed that Th3Badd3st’s criticisms have been more about business decisions like refusing to fix bugs, focusing on releasing M&M DLCs and the collab with Yandere Dev, rather than anything the main game actually does wrong. Which is why I make the comparison, Glowstick have definitely made poor marketing decisions and misjudged their priorities, but using that as an argument to say why Dark Deception as a game is bad is delusional and desperate. (I wouldn’t be surprised if Th3Badd3st ends up saying DD is good again once CH5 comes out & the bugs get fixed)
@@ITS-ME-NARDIE no doubt about any of what you say, and yeah I would say DD is definitely the worst when it comes to showing something that isn’t going to be released for another year thing that’s been happening, I mean some of it can be explained like Nikson tapping out because he needs to work on the ignited collection, but Monsters and Mortals in hindsight was a horrible decision for glowstick given how there’s only 3 of them now 2 working on the series, I hope with the future games in the series they’re saying they’re going to make, that they put that game first and their other games 2nd like what mob is doing with Poppy now
When done right, an OST for a game meant to spook you becomes the highlight of any video game and easily overshadows any forgettable moments.
you're not alone with having an unhealthy obsession with DDLC, hell, i have a whole ass monika shire in my room lmao
Oh oh oh. Th3 Badd3st f33ling in my bo - o - on3s.
Music is life.
This isn't lyrical, but one of my favorite indie horror themes is Schwanenei, from ONAF 3. It's honestly kind of sad to me how it's overshadowed by Eleggtroswing. This theme is a slow rendition of the FNAF 3 "Shadow Bonnie Theme", and it fits surprisingly well for the game's hard mode. It gives the night a bittersweet feeling, and is a perfect conclusion to the series.
"Erm..... Random Stuff" I don't know why I find that so funny lol
Gaming
@@Hope-rh7rk Gaming
Deltarune's credits music is also peak!
My favorite indie horror game, deltarune
@@m4yr4iI mean...Snowgrave 😨😨😨😨😰😰😰😰🥶
@@m4yr4i I know the vid is about horror games I just wanted to say that deltarune's credits music goes hard lol.
@@titanapd9647 you ain't wrong, I'll tell you that
I thought about that as well. although not strictly a horror game, it share that feature with DDLC, in which it's basically a reprise of the main themes you've been hearing throughout, but now there's lyrics that recontextualize everything.
Dark Deception has wayy more banger tracks than just one
They aren't songs though. They have teased actual songs for chapter 5, apparently level 10 is mostly comprised of vocalised songs. I especially love the song titled "Tammy's Lullaby". It really shows a mother's unbreakable love for her daughter and her promise to find a life free from the father's abuse. It makes my eyes water listening to it.
@@user-ro3zt9bm2b Those two don’t have vocals, they use a combination of different organ sounds to imitate a choir. It isn’t real singing. The same goes for the choir in deliverance and the heathy breathing in uninvited guest.
Imagine a horror video game (mascot or not) where the main gimik is having different instruments to fend off different creatures, and you collect different tools (dunno what) to play diffrent instruments automatically. By the end of the game you will have a guitarist, drummer, singer, pianist and/or others. Collecting different instruments isn't required but recommended but if you don't have a certain instrument then it will be missing from the final song.
3:13 on the topic of that
fun fact for those who didn’t see who was credited
The funkin crew was in the special thanks
off topic YOUR PFP IS ADORABLE OMG
@@lwaysDrawing In just a day rambley became my favorite character
Really enjoyed this video! I love it when indie horror includes lyrical songs somewhere in there, it's so good, and sometimes it can have a lot of meaning. Perhaps one of my favorite examples of this is Bendy and the Dark Revival's lyrical track, Come What May. But to fully appreciate that, we gotta get into its precursor, Lonely Angel.
So Lauren Synger, the voice of Alice Angel in all her iterations, was so inspired by Bendy and the Ink Machine upon joining the team that she wrong a song for Alice, and that song was Lonely Angel. It's a heartfelt track that's bouncy and full of love. It appears in Chapter 5 of the game as one of the radio tracks. In previous chapters, there were hidden radios you could find that played an instrumental version of a Bendy nerdcore song, including Build Our Machine by Will "DAGames" Ryan, Bendy and the Ink Musical by Random Encounters, and Can't Be Erased by JT Music. So the final radio being Lauren's song is just a really cool way to close it off in my mind. It's really easy to miss, but it doesn't change the love that's there. Come What May is another song written and performed by Lauren Synger, and it's impossible to miss. It appears as the backing track for Chapter 4 of Bendy and the Dark Revival. It's a really sweet song with a good message. While it's unclear whose perspective its from, you can attribute it to have a lot of meaning for a number of these characters.
Funny story, in December of 2022, not even a month after BATDR release, Lauren and the voice cast for the game teamed up with a number of fans for a special project that's hosted on the DAGames channel: the Joey Drew All-Star Music Review. This forty five minute experience features the voice actors singing song parodies in their character voices, and it is an absolute blast. Obviously it's non-canon and just for fun, but a lot of work went into it to surprise the fans. I should know, I'm one of the people that worked on it. XD One of my favorite tidbits is actually in the credits for the projects. Dave Rivas, the voice of Joey Drew, recorded himself humming Come What May, and we were so excited to put it in the credits, alongside Will's instrumental version of Mr. Crooked. It's a very small thing, but it was such a treat to have Come What May have another iteration. I have a number of headcanons about it.
FNAF 3 MENTIONED
LET'S FUCKING GO
🐻👉🏻👈🏻
Soundtracks are a versitile tool, they can make you happy, dreadful or even feel melancholie.
btw its confirmed by the creator that Rambley will not be a twist villain or anything like that during a live stream 2:20
I am not expecting Rambley to be always evil, but I am expecting corruption from Salem the Skunk
@@nightwalker9875
Nah Salem anti-hero
That's one spoiler I can not feel sad about! I knew he was too genuine after Molly's death to be a twist villain. He also reminds me of Ricky from My Friendly Neighborhood.
Aw man, that’s what I wanted to happen
Oyasumi, oyasumi close your eyes and you'll leave this dreammm
OMORI REFERENCE?!?
Hearing people talk about my favorite horror game again is refreshing (it’s duck season lol)
I sang Your Reality for my singing teacher once, and the rection she had, being a complete non-gamer middle aged woman really proves to me how strong of a song it is, even without context. She had never heard of DDLC, probably didn't even know what a visual novel was, yet was completely entranced by it and kept asking me to play it for her every time I had a lesson. The song is just so beautiful, with or without the emotional journey leading up to it
i think one of my favorite games that have like music music is sally face! theres a fictional band in the game called sanity falls and in one part of the game you can listen to on of their songs :>
i absolutly agree that fanf 3 ending theme is absolutly incredible, literal chills the first time i've heard it
I was sort of sad to see Buddy Simulator 1984 wasn't on here! It's not entirely a horror game aside from parts of the endings and other moments here and there in my opinion, but it has some of my favorite musical numbers. Please check them out! My favorite one is "Scared of You"
BUDDY SIMULATOR 1984 MENTIONED
thank you for introducing me to new indie games to check out!!!
its crazy that we actually could have never heard chef frenzy (dark deception pizza theme) actually ingame, its a scrapped version of "pizza time" for monsters & mortals, which was later added in the enhanced version of dark deception
Night in the Woods:
My favorite songs that weren't mentioned here are the endings to Buddy Simulator 1984. The bad ending song especially gets stuck in my head constantly.
ONLY A FEW SECONDS IN AND I HEAR 'SLAY THE PRINCESS' MUSIC?!! My day is complete and I literally woke up 10 minutes ago.
Edit: What song is playing in the outro? I've been trying to find it on the channel mentioned, but my efforts are fruitless so far
It's so nice to see you talk about DDLC again! I loved your video about it
Cabin Fever 2 also has some good music, especially the final phase of the final boss
FLUMPTY'S AND DARK DECEPTION MENTIONED
Banabn 3 was the best, i wish there was more music
PLEASE TALK MORE ABOUT DDLC I’M BEGGING!
I actually liked the last two ones to the point I somehow put it in a playlist for me to listen to later.
this is my favorite garten of banban 3 review, it was really quirky and joyous
Another game I want to mention is in sound mind which has a musical track for each of the major characters which were by the living tombstone.
This one's a bit more obscure, but 'Nightmarish' from one of the endings in Dreaming Mary is a pretty good one as well.
Rivals seems like some song my dad would play on the radio.
All is well, can't you tell, lead that monster back to hell, this outcry, sets us free, we are the Afton family
YOU’RE SO RIGHT
Happy to hear someone talk about Meaning of fear. It's one of my favorite music track :)
Sleep Well breaks my heart honestly. It's so good.
My opinion on Indigo Park's song:
- Objectively good song
- Placed at the wrong spot, right after reviewing what seems to be the next villian
- It's the end of chapter 1 which is technically an opening of a horror adventure but the song feels like "Oh god that was such an exhausting and emotional journey, I'm glad that we have made it all through together!!"
Also, chase music does sound intense but not so scary, makes me feel like I'm playing a minigame, especially when the environment has a lot of colors.
Me when Th3Badd3st uploads: 🗣️🔥
I like to imagine the bad ending theme relating to the animatronics still alive and never giving up their vengeance given how when i listen to the music, it sounds old and broken, almost like Freddy’s music box has lost some of the pins of its comb. Yet, just like the spirits, it still is active. Using up its remaining power to continue a task that won’t benefit anyone.
It also makes the good ending’s music even cooler because it explains why it feels more happier, complete, and a bit sad narratively. Happier because the spirits finally let go of their anger and able to pass on, complete because they’re no longer destroying themselves over a man who’ll never feel guilt, and maybe a bit sad because they realize that after 30 or so years of being together, they now will go their separate ways. Back to their families also in the afterlife. Just like how in real life, fnaf wouldve just been a small chapter in indie horror, bringing a bunch of random people together with fnaf 1’s mystery, before letting everyone go after fnaf 3’s final scavenger hunt for the final answer. Everyone had their happiest day.
Except the game itself kinda sucked and fsr scott decided to not rework fnaf 3 and just make fnaf continue. I mean im not complaining Funtime Freddy is pretty cool.
I like how (even if I haven't played) the stories are all drama, but I remember getting emotional the second time I heard ◇Monika's song after seeing the game story, but then getting kinda annoyed after seeing the dokis past stories (still love it tho)
Ok so, I'm subscribed to CG5 and after hearing ◇Sleep Well the first time, I kinda didn't get the concept but I really liked the rhythm and melodies of this song. The real feel of now really understanding the characters' situation and making an epic video of the 'Hour of Joy' in another perspective is so great and it makes me *aAAAÁĄĄĄĄĄĄĄ-*
◇Kinito is scary and keeps you listening while getting so uncanny even tho he is supposely trying to make you stay by doing something geniuly good hearted, but also it's evil (and somehow that sounded cute in my mind until you listen again to the song)
◇And then there's Indigo Park, which is just on of the most wholesome moments to me in the terror franchises I know (I also love Rambley)
This is literally the most random thing I could mention from this video, but you did properly pronounce Johannes Brahms (at least for American English, since I highly doubt you'd even enjoy saying it in a German accent), so kudos to you, I suppose!
(Also, that is indeed a very touching track and it has definitely made me cry on several occasions.)
13:22
“I want to talk about random things”
Me: Flumptys wont be here
“Eleggtroswing from Flumpty’s 3”
Me: YEAAAAAAA-
I feel like if you ever make a part two of this, you should check out the musical numbers in piggy. I know I sound like a buffoon for saying this, but the lyrical songs are honestly so good, and perfectly talks about the characters they're based off of, without directly talking about said characters. BSlick (the main composer for the game) honestly did an amazing job with the game OST! (Side note: Even if you don't have any interest in roblox stuff, I think you should still check out his channel. He makes meme songs every once in a while (usually roblox related but still) has actual albums not related to roblox, and even a second channel where he travels with his wife and kids!)
I think In Sound Mind has the best musical number in indie horror game history.
The meaning of fear is an amazing intro to the final boss, and is one of three different moods the ending of this route takes with the sound design, however don’t listen to it when you are super tired, when it is at night, or alone in the dark because it will give you anxiety
I can’t believe you forgot to mention the mooshies kitchen credits song!! /j
ngl when i listened to "a world i built for you" no joke i almost cried
10:00 I FEEL YOU BROOOOOOOOOO I FEEL YOUUUUUUUUUU PLEASE TRUST ME
While it’s not an indie game, Semi Sacred Geometry from from 2017’s Prey is an absolute banger
On the topic of sleep well... I was half asleep whilst listening to it, and that was the best experience I've ever had
KinitoPET song feels inspired by the first computer to sing Daisy Bell,, thats what I thought it was until the song fully played in my playthrough
Whenever I think about DDLC I think about my friend going up to the creator and going "I like your shirt :)" about his DDLC shirt and not realizing it was him until hours after. Also KinitoPet's song is probably my fave out of all of these! Especially bc of how it intentionally sounds similar to Daisy Bell as that's the first song ever sung by a computer :)
Not gonna lie, I fully expected a credits sung by Th3Badd3st moment after they said “So, in conclusion”
Gotta admit, I bet they planned that lmao
thebaddest could you make a stream about a tierlist about fnaf fan songs?
The best ost for any video game is from Mario Galaxy
I love DDLC too. And Yuri.
8:45 like the song daisy bell! Funny how both songs are about love with the same type of ryhthme and structure. But the messages are very different.
not a horror game but- GOD does Con Lentitud Poderosa hit hard
W songs
How could you not include the amazing track from mooshie's kitchen?? /j
Kinito's Song reminds me a lot of Still Alive from Portal 2. Not sure why.
I remember when sleep well played at a school dance 😭
I like music too! :D
good vid
please play In Sound Mind it has like seven examples of this
The creator said Rambley isn’t gonna be evil
I recognize slay the princess soundtrack anywhere

ITS A PUN BECAUSE A REVUE IS A MUSICAL TERM AAAAAA
Have you herd of urisu syndrome ost it is amazing and I think it the first 4th wall braking horror game
I like music too
You prefer bad end over Don't Go?
The lack of In Sound Mind here is disappointing
You forgot about the Mooshies Kitchen credits song.....
I honestly didn't really like ddlc until at the very end the song started playing, it literally saved the game for me
IN SOUND MIND has some really good songs in it. Talk about it or else 😠
You forgot Mooshie. {/j }
Im super late to this video 😞
doki doki literature club on TOP!! who's ur fav?? mine is sayori :]
Lalalalala
Hoooollllly crap. Rivals is a year old.
I thought Sleep Well was mid to be honest.
Are you aware that Andy and Leyley has an ins##t scene.
You forgot to mention that there are songs in Bendy and the Ink Machine.
It because they are all fan songs
