Inspiration & Design for Background Music

Overcast Because our game background location is in the sewer, and the protagonist is a plumber. My first impression of the background of the sewer is that it's a darker theme. So the main tone of Overcast is more gloomy.

Flames Also based on the backstory, the protagonist is bored with work and wants to turn off the power plug in Atlantis by reaching the bottom. I think it also expresses the indignation of the protagonist. Therefore, the main tone of Flames is more passionate.

Inspiration & Design for Button Sound Effect

Button Sound Effect Atlantis is surrounded by ocean, so I made a short wave sound effect that triggers when the player clicks the button.
