Weird Video Game Area Themes. What counts as a weird video game area theme? Well...do you ever end up in an area where you feel unsettled? Or maybe it's comepletely normal with one or two uncanny themes strewn about. It doesn't always need to be unsettling. Maybe it's just...not normal. I don't know what I'm talking about. ANYWAYS, I've really been wanting to explore that "weird" style for awhile. Obviously the weirdness factor ranges from person to person, but hopefully this song gave off what I was feeling at the time. This is "How To: Make a Weird Video Game Area Theme in 5 Minutes". I hope you enjoy! This song was inspired by games like the Mother series, Undertale, Final Fantasy 7, Paper Mario, and my own silly imagination.
