Organs Please is a satirical game with fun casual graphics, a surreal storyline, and multiple endings.
The sound is not just “there” in the game, but it complements and finishes what the game designer intended — the main idea was to create a counterpoint between something “serious/complex” and “funny/light”. After all, the player works at a human recycling plant in order to build a space ark from the materials obtained.
This sounds intimidating, but the graphics, the appearance of the visitors, and the narrative make it clear that this is satire. And the sound has become one of the important elements of this reality.
The search for a suitable genre was carried out for a long time — such genres as jazz, acid jazz, doom jazz, lounge, and experimental were taken as references. As a result, we created something special that fits into the game as cool as possible and supports the original idea: complex harmonies, interesting melodies, and broken rhythms — all this is opposed to casual graphics and narrative.
