The ASKII Ambient Fantasy Music Series continues - After the journey under the open skies of Natura you are about to step through the gates of the underworld into the Vaults of Obscura. Travel through deep dungeons, cavern mazes and ancient catacomb cities. Discover their sad history and cruel secrets, and maybe you will find the treasures and fortunes you are looking for. Though, be aware, adventurer! You should hope your presence may go unnoticed by the evil lurking in the dark!

Whether you need background ambience for DnD sessions, the right atmosphere for reading or just enjoying some dark Ambient music, Obscura builds tense horror soundscapes inspired by RPG like The Elder Scrolls Oblivion/ Skyrim and The Witcher. Like the first Video of the Ambient Series (Natura), Obscura features 1 hour of non-repeating, original Ambient music with sound effects suitable for DnD sessions.

-- Story --

Your journey begins in the brutal Dungeons of the Old Emperors, a huge underground complex built deep into the mountain. Numerous myths and legends are surrounding the prison. Whoever was incarcerated down here never made it out alive - they were condemned to fight for food in gladiator arenas and work in the mines deep below the dungeon. It is abandoned since a big riot a century ago, little is known about the incident. Town folk says criminal scum likes to use it as hideout now, so better be prepared!

Through the old city’s sewer network deep below the dungeon you make it into a natural cavern system that leads you further into the mountain. It seems inmates of the Dungeon working in the mines overwhelmed the prison guards, teared apart the separation walls and tried to escape through the cave system. Little did they know what they were running into...

Dozens of references throughout the whole realm tell of the First Civilization. Primal and cruel, they built huge cities miles underground - vast temples to worship their Lich Kings with Pagan rituals. Only few of these ruins have ever been found, with their capital (in the books referred to as “Obscura”) remaining lost - just like the adventurers who tried to find it. Nothing is known about their fate. But step in and see for yourself!

    One aspect of Fantasy Music I always wanted to try is Dungeon Music. Thinking of the Ayleid Ruins of The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, I clearly remember the intimidating atmosphere wandering through those dungeons, even in the late game as a skilled character. But it wasn’t only the zombies, the faint lights and deadly traps, but also the music that created this immersive atmosphere. An impression that lasts till today. I decided to take a similar approach as I did in Natura on the underworld journey, going for different chapters. I chose a dungeon, a cave system and an underground tomb complex. Each got a short, drafted background story, a main potential threat (bandits, monster spiders and undead creatures) and based on all that, its very own distinctive character in music. I wanted to create some connections to my game memories, but also add my own interpretation of how it should sound. To make the experience as immersive as possible, I didn’t want to stick to an animated still image, so I chose to dive into the world of the Unreal Engine 4 creating a level scene with some asset packs - the world of Obscura came to life. I hope you enjoy the journey! If you like the video, please consider hitting the Thumbs Up button and share it in your community. Really appreciate your support! Cheers ;)
  • I wanted to put this on as background music but ended up so engrossed in the incredible animation that I sat and watched the whole thing! amazing work on this, i hope this gets the attention it deserves for all the effort you put in and how gorgeous the level is. would love to actually play through something like this!
  • @danielupton7591
    This is EXACTLY the type of music I've been looking for to build a sense of suspense/dread in my players when DM'ing tabletop RPG's. Excellent work, hits all the right notes, will definitely be using this in future games.
  • @ElvenEpic
    Epic music is like a sonic journey through the peaks and valleys of emotion. The dramatic highs and lows in the music create a powerful narrative that resonates with the soul.
  • @akrmki3389
    imma play this at work via the departments speakers first thing on monday anything beats the Last Christmas hell.
  • @alexbrown512
    From Abyss of Souls to the end, I kinda got reminded of the Blackreach ambience from Skyrim, and I just loved those parts! This is amazing and should be watched by more people
  • @mindofmeesha
    Can't help watching for the whole hour to find non-existent jumpscares XD Love this, inspiring
  • @dustinallan3362
    This absolutely needs more recognition. I will be using it in my sessions for sure and I will talk praises of it whenever I can.
  • @KyuubiGoku1
    I just have to say, this feeling of immersion is phenomenal. This music is so...tense. I've watched this completely about 5 times, and yet I feel like if I was actually there I would still get lost. Plus, the music adds this sense of paranoia. From the video, nothing comes out to get you, but you FEEL like it will. Every turn of a corner, you're just waiting to get jumped. I LOVE IT!
  • @Michael-gj7kn
    I love to have this just playing on my living room tv during the day. Not even watching it, just the ambience flowing.
  • @tysonwoomer5019
    Writing D&D session to this. The goblin town of Narkadark will never be the same...
  • @arlenel.p.2785
    Put this on as background music while reading. Perfect atmosphere. Love it
  • @Tararturan1911
    a true piece of Art in Picture and Music, worth seeing again an again over years, and never loses its immersivness. Love it!
  • @kenguyii9108
    Man, this is like walking through a scary dungeon in Skyrim or Oblivion. Awesome work, my friend! 👏👏👏👏
  • @jstn9914
