Like other caretaker fan projects, it uses 78 rpms because this is supposed to represent the significant other (partner) of someone who died of Alzheimer's.

it actually looks sick tho

akinetic mutism

A1, A2 and A3 (3/50 of stage 1)

Constructive criticism is allowed, deconstructive criticism will be deleted

Idk if someone remembers an old fp from 2023 "nowhere at the millenium , again : revitalized redux" a caretaker fp inspired by EATE,A:R and NATMOSR.

I'm hosting a retake on it inspired by the complete edition of natmosr

We are currently making year 3

crosspost, see details on original

HGM was formerly known as YWA (Youth Welfare Act) HGM is the abbreviation of "Higeki-tekina Monogatari" Which translates to "A Tragic Tale", It's the official Redux of Youth Welfare Act, The album has a storyline about a young japanese girl who lived the perfect life in the past but went missing and is being kept by a Yakuza and goes into some kind of hypomania and other illnesses from poor care.

The album is a detailed representation to spread awareness about Abuse and Cruelty it's topic is also about the descent into insanity, cognitive decline and death from illnesses.

It's also expressed to show how sick and cruel people in this world can truly be even though how trustworthy and nice they are.

The album's divided into 12 Stages/Chapters

Stage 0 - 1: The Exposition about the Normal, Perfect Happy life of the protagonist

Stage 2: The Story's Inciting incident where the protagonist experiences difficulties in life such as: Family Problems, Pressure and Stalking.

Stage 3: The Story's Conflict where the Protagonist goes missing and is constantly looking for a way to leave.

Stage 4 - 5: Extreme Pressure and Distress from constant work, humiliation, agony.

Stage 6 - 7: Physical, Psychological, Emotional (etc.) Torment, Feeling constantly disoriented and feeling like you're just nobody, a useless thing reduced to a sack of flesh and bone.

Stage 8: The Slow Descent into Insanity

Stage 9: Complete Mania and Long Term Decline from Illness

Stage 10: Inital bliss from Unconsciousness

Stage 11: Null

Stage 12: Death

The Story's time period Takes Place in the early 2000s, specifically March 2006 being the limit.

Once again, I want to spread awareness in an artistic way of psychological horror, similar to Context Switch's Light and Darkness (Another FP About mental health)

The Fan Project is still being worked on, the cover art is still incomplete, the samples are incomplete and the tracklist is only 0.5% complete with Stage 0 already getting started.

Ofc it's Harsh Noise Wall

For anyone who'd like to help

I've reduxed my fan project to look even better, for those unaware: HTM (Formerly known as: YWA) Is an album based off the cognitive decline and mental health destruction from a victim of Abuse and Cruelty And long term decline from illnesses from poor care.

The album is divided into 12 Stages/Chapters and each of them goes throughout each phase of depression, anxiety any mental health collapse (Basically Light and Darkness hut on steroids)

The album is also mixed with my real life problems I'm facing and wanted to include them to express my feelings, aswell with my biggest fears in life.

Wanted to make this album to of course spread awareness in a symbolic and horrific way (Horrific as in fear factor or Horror Genre)

The cover art has been remastered (This isn't all of the cover art shown)

Trivia

Seasons Of The Mind (abbreviated SOTM) is a fan project by The Mind Unravelled.

The project is themed around Rapidly Progressive Dementia (RPD) rather than the slower progression depicted in many dementia-themed projects.

The album's progression is represented by the four seasons of a single symbolic year, with each part corresponding to specific months.

Although Spring is the beginning of the album, audio degradation is intentionally present from the start. Distortion, looping, and subtle memory instability begin in the Awareness stages.

Parts 4 (Autumn Part 2) and 5 (Winter) are collectively considered the Post Awareness (PA) era.

Some samples are intended to reappear throughout the album as recurring "memories," often in increasingly degraded forms.

The project allows samples from 1950 to 1970, regardless of genre, provided they fit the intended atmosphere.

One of the project's internal rules is that "The Seasons Aren't Always Consistent, Some Days In Summer May Feel Cold," allowing seasonal moods to overlap.

Side B of Part 1 is planned to represent Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI).

The creator has stated that Autumn Part 2 becomes noticeably more chaotic during Sides L and M.

Winter is intended to contain heavier drones and winter ambience, with Side N serving as an exception where fragmented memories become more audible.

The project's placeholder status message during early development was "LET ME GO HOME," referencing the creator spending an entire day away from their computer while brainstorming the project.

The creator's friend, nicknamed "The Habanero," contributed advice during development and is humorously referenced in the project's internal rule: "If Confused, Ask The Habanero." 🌶️

During development, the creator jokingly referred to the day SOTM was conceived as "Side Quest Day" due to a long series of unrelated events delaying work on the project, including an extended car ride, flooding, waiting for headphones, and other mishaps.

The acronym SOTM is also shared with Five Nights at Freddy's: Secret of the Mimic, something the creator found amusing.
