The album is a concept album, imitating a soundtrack for a fictional role-playing game. The album was inspired by video games including The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Metaphor: ReFantazio, Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy VI, and Nier: Automata. == Critical reception ==

In a review for Clash, Tom Morgan praises the album for its "compelling narratives," describing it as "immersive, innovative" and "affecting". DIYs Gemma Cockrell also had a favorable review, expressing that the album is "ambitious in scope but never loses the intimate emotional pull that Corin Roddick and Megan James command so effortlessly." Pastes Sam Rosenberg had a more mixed opinion, writing that while the album "mostly succeeds" in emulating the feeling of listening to video game soundtracks, "one wishes it were as moving as James and Roddick seem to want it to be." == Track listing ==
