This track is part of Liminality, a conceptual game album exploring the story of a protagonist who awakens in a forest after fleeing a world of total technological immersion.
Heard at the start of the game, this in-game loop, “The Forest for the Trees,” accompanies the moment the protagonist regains consciousness, where they are disoriented, alone, and surrounded by nature. The music captures that moment between confusion and clarity, with fragmented piano lines and ambient textures reflecting a mind slowly reassembling itself.
Each phrase points to something forgotten but essential. The protagonist is starting to be able to see the forest through the trees.
This is the first breath of awareness in a world suddenly unfamiliar.
