Cue of the Week: “Nowhere to Go but Up”

This week’s music from Escaping Wonderland starts early in the game, where poor Molly finds herself lost in bleak-looking caverns. The score is appropriately melancholy. Fragments of her lullaby theme suggest glimmers of hope, which at this point feels very distant.

We segue into a more contrapuntal section for piano, flute, and glockenspiel. To be honest, this is the game’s opening menu music, which I had to move in order to avoid too many “intro” flavor tracks in a row on the album. This sort of curational shenanigan is common when going from an interactive game to a linear soundtrack. Anyway… enjoy!
