Glade and Ritual

Help a small bug village save their sacred flower!

About

Help a small bug village save their sacred flower!

as per the Bandcamp page created for the 2026 GMTK Game Jam. after being asked to assist with sound design part-way into the jam, my work was cut out for me. all music was created in four and half days.

I’m quite proud of what I was able to get done, and really hope you enjoy it!!

game can be found at netal.itch.io/glade-and-ritual

as per the game page All the critters of The Glade lived a peaceful life. In the centre of the village a magic blue flower grew, every night the critters performed a ritual to keep the flower healthy. In return the flower granted them protection from the dangers of the forest floor.

One day, the sacred flower lost a single petal, who’s to blame?

…and how many days do they have left?

Song notes

Boot Up was created to help users test their volume. Sadly, we forgot to tell users to adjust their volume.

Colourless Green is an introduction to the Glade, and was the first song made for the project.

The Glade is the looping music heard through much of the game, helping underscore each character’s dialogue.

Petuliar Circumstances was not included in the game, but was finished up for this album!

Mudslinging describes how the critters that inhabit The Glade have been throwing shade (possibly nightshades?) at eachother throughout the week. The song plays on the final day of the game.

The Ritual plays during… well, the ritual. you’ll see what i mean.

Commelina is the last thing you hear in the game, and is a cute little farewell.
