This is a chiptune masterpiece. I'm sorry to anyone who didn't have a childhood with at least some 8-bit or 16-bit video games in them.

0:00... At the start you don't see anything. Then a music is heard, calm but catchy. Then you notice pictures, places, people. You don't know them, but you can't wait, for sure. You smile and open your eyes. You are at your desk, facing a book. Your warm thatched cottage is welcoming, inviting you to stay with it. Yet you still feel the freshness of the morning creeping under your door. The window, shutters and curtains open, lets glimpse a landscape. 4:05... You open the door and start to run, playfully. Along the way, you dodge slimes, jump over them or kick them. Even little birds are trying to knock you down, but you are quicker than them. A tree collapsed on the road? No problem, you climb it and start sketching dance steps to annoy the slimes. You jump up and continue on your way, slowly climbing back up to the top of the mountain. You have already taken this road during your childhood, nothing can happen to you. 7:55... You noticed this strange opening in the mountain ... a cave! You rush into it and contemplate his majesty. It is completely frosted, from floor to ceiling. At this altitude, the monsters have evolved. Ice golems of all shapes and sizes, and even snow, roam the cave. The latter consists of corridors and large rooms, supported by huge pillars. The ground is slippery so you proceed with greater caution, wonder still filling your eyes. You don't even feel the cold anymore. 12:05... But there, in a room, a strange white and hairy mass stands still. Not for long in fact, only when you arrive, it finally moves. She stands on her two hind legs, three times your height ... a polar bear, the ugliest you have ever seen. Quickly, he attacks you. Each attack from her is dodged by your incredible agility, further infuriating the beast. You still attempt to attack it with your machete, with each opening providing an opportunity to take down the monster that doesn't give you any gifts. but he manages to hit you, sending you over a wall. You feel your bones breaking and let out a cry. By the time you understand the situation, the bear charges you, almost smirking mischievously. At least, do you really notice it? No time for that, you hit the wall of ice with your machete, shattering it to pieces and causing a chain reaction. The ceiling collapses and cracks the floor. It opens beneath your feet, dragging you into darkness with the beast, which howls in rage and frustration. 16:06... "He's awake! I won my bet!" yells a cheerful voice. You open one eye, visibly still weakened by your fight against the polar bear. "Greetings, young man. I am Hancock, the doctor in this town. My grandson found you in the river, covered with bruises and cuts. Luckily I was able to heal you and you finally woke up. It's gonna be two weeks, though. If you can get up, go ahead but take care of yourself. Take some rest and eat some food for as long as you want. " As the old man talks to you and his grandson takes the money from some curious people watching you at the window, you get up and walk out of the house. You are in pain but you have known much worse. The town is called "Bridge Town" and you travel among its alleys and meet its inhabitants. You even help some with their needs, like recovering a grandmother's glasses that were lost in the forest, bringing the chickens back to their enclosure, doing the postman, collecting wood to renovate the perimeter wall. 20:14... Two days later, the town organized a festival to celebrate its foundation. Food, activities, music and dances are on the menu. You are approached by Bobby, the son of the village chief. Arrogant that he is, he is convinced that you are trying to steal his girlfriend, which of course is not true. The only thing that matters to you is adventure. He decides to challenge you: you must pass ALL the festival activities. From the simplest to the most wacky. Everything goes: catching the most apples in a basin of water without hands, winning a race with blindfolded eyes, riding the biggest pig ... Finally, night falls and you have won, not without having poured a few drops of sweat in front of the complexity, the intensity (and the duration) of the tests. Bobby is frustrated, angry and upset at the same time. You still manage to cheer him up, showing fair play. He forgives you and shakes your hand, even offering you the keys to the city for being a good rival. He can still have his girlfriend. 22:40... You feel in better shape and decide to come home to the other side of the mountain. You take a path according to the advice and warnings of the inhabitants. This path passes through a forest filled with creatures, each more beautiful and ugly than the next: Large deer with complex horns, ents, insects, wolves and carnivorous plants. And you even do a racing event with a wood elf you have come across. Having defeated him, he hands you a deployable shield. 26:35... Again by chance, you stumble upon a hidden cave and notice that its walls are made of bricks. Dungeon ! You enter out of curiosity but discover new enemies: traps, bandits of all kinds and even necromancer wizards reviving the skeletons hanging on the walls. There are also guard dogs and mad prisoners trying to catch you. The dungeon is a real labyrinth with its corridors and large rooms and therefore you get lost easily. Even the map you improvise doesn't sound very fair. After a long time, you open a wide door and enter what appears to be a throne room, a tall man standing there. 30:45... "So it was you who killed my degenerate big brother, so I will be able to avenge him. Prepare to die!" said the man with the big black beard. He draws a large sword and assails you with blows, but you manage to withstand attacks with your shield, dodging when they seem heavy. You attack and slowly chip away at his armor while he doesn't falter. He even calls in minions to help him bring you down. At one point, her sword breaks and, frustrated, drops it to the ground. He howls and begins to grow up to three times your height. He becomes a huge black bear, scaring away his minions in fear. He is a berserker, terrifying warrior who scavenges armies. His attacks are heavier and you find it increasingly difficult to dodge his blows. Finally, it charges one last time, crushing you with all its weight. And this time, you don't get up. 34:42... The game over is displayed and the music starts, leaving you with yourself. However, you are not frustrated. It's Christmas and you have just received your first RPG. In one morning you have already reached the second boss and surely missed items, quests. You will be able to take your revenge and, if not, ask your friends for help. Obviously they also ordered it and will also have tested it. But for now, you need to have breakfast. These cookies will not eat themselves.

oh ma gosh this deserves more attention these audios are so perfectly nastalgic i was looking for audio for my game and now ive found it lol

I never grew up with this era of games, but I really think it says a lot to make music such as this and make someone feel nostalgic for something they've never personally went through.

The dicisive battle theme gives big old school pokemon vibes, man that brings me back.

This felt like an adventure.

For someone born in ‘82, this is home.

I grew up during this era and I found my mind automatically adding additional sound effects for jumping, shooting and power ups while listening.

wtf bro that first song had NO business slapping that hard... literal goosebumps within seconds

This is exactly what I was looking for, good relaxing nice 8-bit music to hit me right in the nostaligia. aaah... simpler times, better times.

it feels like it tells a full story... AMAZING

The last one makes me kinda emotional. I'm in my very last few months of school and this combined with other factors kinda seal my time of being a child. That song kinda encapsulates how I feel. It's now the next chapter for me and the Final of The Fantasy - the Fantasy one had being a child...

i’m so glad we’ve come up with this genre of music

This is incredible, I can't wait to use some of these track on loop for my dnd campaign, they're so charming and well-composed without being in your face and distracting. A veritable bop.

Thank you traveler, our village is indebted to you. We will be waiting for you for a long time, defeat the dragon

This is so amazing, thank you for creating this!

Those songs are incredible, congratulations for your work

I am so happy I found this it goes so hard, absolutely amazing job.

Wow. Thank you so much for making these!

Loved the title screen, Very talented!

Great work! I feel like a kid sitting on the floor, playing a brand new NES adventure game in front of my old 16" CRT TV. Sweet! ✌️♥️

These are awesome! I was boppin' to every single one of these. Cant wait to hear more of what you have to share!

This sounds amazing! Just stumbled upon it. Really sets the mood!

This is truly wonderful. This put a lot of smiles on my face. Outstanding work.

This is a perfect 8-bit dungeon synth feel. Well done for sure.

Beautiful, love it! Deserves so much more love!

I love the music and the artwork they're all gold hope you make more👌 exploring the unknown is my favorite one

Took me forever to figure out that that little motif in "And the Journey begins" at 4:21 reminded me of, but I finally realized it was "Rain" by SID.

Amazing tunes! And thank You so much for letting us use it on our videos!

Fantastic compositions. I'm being moved emotionally by this piece of art.

Excellent work, I just love a great 8-bit soundtrack.

I love this! It’s so nostalgic and calming. I played it in the background while writing last night. 💖

This music is all fantastic! Found this video and popped it on in the background while chugging through some rough Uni deadlines and got the vibe of every song and the environmental picture each painted even before looking at the titles! Fantastic work, and very inspiring to get back into pixel art hobbies and maybe even take a crack at the software you've linked! Amazing work!

I just found this, and I'm not sure how, but these are some absolute bangers. Excellent work.

As an editor this absolutely great and useful, also great tracks! Much thanks

Great job man. Wonderful music.

Absolutely great! Feels like it goes right alongside any Final Fantasy or Dragonquest game of the era! Bravo!

This is the kind of stuff that makes me wish I was rich just so I could afford to pay a bunch of talented people like you to gather and combine your talents to make an epic game.

Not only is the music beautifully nostalgic, the artwork is amazing as well. Thank you for sharing your creative gifts 🙂

Thank you for helping out all sorts of aspiring content creators by sharing your work for free. It allows people to improve and grow without having to burn all their energy.

This is quite refreshing compared to other recent ambient music tracks I’ve been listening to on KZfaq : )

This is wonderful. Thank you so much!

i stumbled on this and... i'm loving all these tracks?? They're all fun and nostalgic while still beign fresh! I htink this is exactly what I needed today haha.

THIS. IS. AMAZING!!!!!!!! i can't even imagine how hard and time taking this was for u, but my ears are blessed 🥺 trabalho maravilhoso!!

You deserve recognition dude. I'm literally finding some 8-bit fantasy music forever and gladly found one. I will also credit you though.

This is amazing! Truly amazing... this can be added to wute literally any transition and is so cohesive with so little effort! *Truly thk u for ths great art piece*

Found a hidden gem one's again.

Man you're amazing! This Soundtrack is amazing! I'm listening to it while I trade. Thanks for sharing it. Much Love ❤

storytime!! 0:00 "Adventurer's Return: The Curse of Saigai" 4:05 The theme for walking around in the forest. You may encounter enemies here, such as slimes, goblins, lizardlings, etc. 7:54 The theme for when you are in Shimo the Ice King's Lair. You may encounter enemies here, such as icenappers, frost spiders, and brrbats. 11:59 The theme for when you are attacked. 16:08 The theme for when you are in Fuwu the Cat Person's shop or are in a safe place. 20:14 The theme for when you are playing Willow the Plant Wyvern's game. If you win, you get coins, same goes for the reverse. He will also trade with you. 26:37 The theme for when you are in a dungeon. You may encounter bats, giant spiders, and giant cobras. 30:45 The theme for when you battle Saigai, the dragon who burnt down your village with no regret. 34:42 The theme for the credits after you've killed Saigai. Information for those who want to add more: Lizardlings are the children of Saigai. They have not developed wings yet. Saigai burned down the protagonist's village because he wanted it's riches. Shimo the Ice King is known to trap people inside his lair if they anger him. Willow the Plant Wyvern used to be one of Saigai's minions, however he was one of the few to escape, and also the only dragon to actually help the protagonist. Fuwu the Cat Person is a traveller from distant lands. Her species is allied with the humans. Icenappers are known to capture people it thinks are pretty to display them in it's home.

Thx for your beautiful work !

Subscribing, and deviruchi from ragnarok online is one of my favorite monsters in that game. All love for you. xDeviruchi

Just hearing this made me wanna start on a new game project Holy crap this is so inspiring and good

How have I not found this until now?? I absolutely am in love with this music! Thank you for creating and sharing this amazing list

Damn, I am genuinely impressed. This music make me so nostalgic. Thank you.

ayo man, thanks for making it free and usable!!

this is just metal disguised as an 8-bit music.. please keep making more music.. this is so inspirational and so kick ass!

Yo! This is so good! Thank you so much for releasing it royalty free. I’m broke, and as much things as I can do myself, music composing is not my strong side TuT This is brilliant

A new subscriber has entered the comments. This is awesome, I grew up playing Dragon Warrior games and others of that era and this album would fit right in.

Currently using this for my Shovel Knight-esque 2D side-scroller in development. Amazing tracks for an adventure 2D game. Thank you for making these tracks sir!

Thank you @xDeciruchi. These sounds will help me build my upcoming 8-bit game that I want to create.

thank you! Found this on the Unity Asset Store. you are really great

This sound amazing! Have watched through the whole video multiple times just for these crispy tunes!

At the start of minigame it seems like there is a title screen that says "play" and you have to dodge objects from a lvl 4 boss and the minions. Pretty sure the boss would die at the end. Exploring the unknown is like exploring a unknown forest not located on the map but has many chests and battles! Mysterious dungeon is so creepy and amazing at the same time possibly the mysterious dungeon includes skeleton knights that have skeleton swords defending a secret room. Decisive battle is like the final battle which is the powerful winged dragon which flaps it wings to make you fly away. The dragon is guarding the last and final treasure chest which has the most deciveing sword in the medieval world itself!

I’ve used these songs for two of my Unity projects last year lol, brings back good memories of being a beginner in programming 😢

we need more people like you, making god like music that is free to use I am almost shedding a tear here

Thank you so much all the music didn't find the vibe of my game but this soundtrack is awesome and perfect for it should I atlest least credit you're fabulous work!

Man the 2nd soundtrack "and the journey begins" is so entertaining, I just love the melody :-) Your work really reminds me of the musics of Shovel Knight, and some of the musics are even better to my ears. Thanks so much for sharing, hope you can go on and give us some more masterpieces!

Litrally using this music to turn tidying my room into a game and its working perfectly

definitely using this for dungeons and dragons man this is like professional level 8 bit music great work dude

Awesome tunez !😁. Many a good time I had on video game consoles of this era.

30 seconds in and I already know this is incredible. This is exactly what I need for the workday!

The fact you made these and people can use them for free man, what a legend!

THank you for this, it is goated.

What a fantastic collection of chiptune music! It brings back those childhood feelings playing Dragon Warrior and Final Fantasy, and at the same time, it's completely original and gorgeous material! If you have more video game music, I would love to hear it.

i recently got into pixel art and i really like listening to this whilst i draw :) thank you

that’s a great one. If I ever get my pc fixed and going back to streaming speedruns, I’ll definitely need to use this mix. Piece of art 🙌

yes! yes! YES! that's just what i needed whole my life! thank you so much for this, now my life is fully complete:)

The artwork is the cherry on top , love the composition of colours and characters

30:46 kicks in and my ORAS memories flood in. Thanks for sudden nostalgia! Great work!

This is so awesome, and it's amazing to know that you've composed these tracks yourself. Great work!

Just want you to know, I'm using this in my current game project. Might get changed out before publishing if we decide to spend money in that direction, but I'm loving it, and will be listenin to a lot of hours of it over the coming months. Thanks for these, really good work.

really cool of you to make such good tracks free to use

Tysm for this music Its sooo good!.

I remember that old *childhood time* ooh good old days😌

Thank you sooooo much for making this copyrighted free, I really needed to find some good music to use for my game!!! Ill make sure to credit all the artists that worked for this too!!!

See, I love everything about this! The original 8-bit music is exactly what I have in mind when it comes to authentic 8-bit music! Most "8-bit" games these days all have music that is supposed to sound like 8-bit, but it's just chiptune or electronic-sounding without the authenticity of what made NES music the way it was. Not only did you create an original track for a game for anyone to use, it sets the mood for each situation accordingly and really reminds me of those hardcore platformers or adventure games back in the NES days. Thank you for your hard work!

This will be great for me to listen to while streaming!

HOW DO YOU NOT HAVE AT LEAST 10K SUBS?! LIKE JESUS DUDE YOU'RE SO TALENTED!! [Definitely deserve 1million subs]

This is AWSOME, thank you for making this free to use. I'm using it for my final year's school project and its only possible because of awsome people like you!!(I have no artistic or musical talent)

Thanks for make this music public, im going to make a Scratch videogame with this music

While my childhood didn't contain all that much of 8-16bit games, alot of the games I play now are either pixelated and/or use 16-8bit music. I'll always love the old pixelated titles, for their lasting impact on the art I make and aspire to make.

Could easily have been the soundtrack of a great RPG. Well done!

XDeviruchi, you are a legend; and later on, you will known by the youtube community as the greatest artist of the century,

Just got the Polyend Tracker and I’m using your music as my muse. This his great!

It's really hard to find 8bit music that isn't covers or retro game OST which I heard way too much. Thank a lot for making some original tunes, this is an extra motivation now that I want to get into composing by making an 8bit album. Oh, and I fotgot to say I love this
