When I created the OST for this game (you can check it in the game description), I've set it as my alarm clock. It seemed chill enough and something definitely nice to wake up to.
I've had it for 3 years now, and I didn't know music could give you PTSD... No kidding.
Each time I hear the first few seconds of the song (for example accidentally clicking on it), I'm filled with just bad and discomforting thoughts. Like really negative feelings. Nothing specific, but it's just a bad, cold, irritating sensation.
It's... so weird. Okay it's not ptsd but I think it has a specific name, fear conditioning maybe? Watch some Vsauce here about it. It's not fear but definitely discomforting moment associated with the song that triggers this emotion. Waking up at 6am in the morning is not pleasant for sure
Also another fact, my father bought a new phone one time, asked me if I made any songs that could be cool as a ringtone. I sent him this (before it started giving me ptsd). And each time I heard the ringtone, I mentioned to him how bad it triggers something in me.
Not scary, fun, interesting, but just so f!cked to think one of my song is a "trigger sound" for me lmao
Oh yeah, give the game a shot if you're interested! :)
