NPC

Non Player Character is a song about the quiet, unseen rhythm of an NPC’s day. Behind the scenes at Octavius Reviews, we’ve created a wide range of material around it: ads, promos, experiments, and a few pieces made purely for fun. Instead of letting all that work disappear into the void, we’re building a single long form stream where our music, videos, and oddities can live together as one ongoing podcast.

For now, enjoy this video.

[00:00:03] music
[00:00:16] I stand in my post while the sky resets
[00:00:18] the same old shadows on
[00:00:19] music and singing the same old
[00:00:22] streets. Following roots that the code
[00:00:26] dictates, counting the steps of my
[00:00:28] program feed. music
[00:00:31] A merchant sells a rusted key. A child
[00:00:35] runs by then music runs back again. A
[00:00:37] flickering singing spark in the scenery.
[00:00:40] Waiting for a wind that singing will
[00:00:41] never blow in.
[00:00:48] Waiting music for the hero to pass me
[00:00:51] by. Staring straight ahead under music
[00:00:55] a program sky. Just a line of text in a fantasy.
[00:00:58] Does anybody music else see the world
[00:01:02] on the sea? Oh, the sky. The sky resets.
[00:01:07] The dawn is cold and blue. music I’m
[00:01:09] just a ghost inside a world
[00:01:13] built for you.
[00:01:17] music
[00:01:21] music
[00:01:32] The tavern fire has no heat at all. The
[00:01:34] same music three cords from the loot
[00:01:36] on the singing wall. I try to walk
[00:01:39] past music the boundary line, but a
[00:01:42] wall of glass says it’s not my music
[00:01:45] time. He takes my quest. He takes my
[00:01:48] goal. He saves the world. Or so I’m
[00:01:51] told. And the screen fades black and the
[00:01:52] clock rewinds. music
[00:01:55] And I’m back on the path that the engine
[00:01:56] designed.
[00:01:57] music
[00:02:01] Waiting for the hero to pass me by.
[00:02:04] Staring straight ahead under a broken
[00:02:08] music sky. Just a text in fantasy.
[00:02:12] Does anybody music else see the sea?
[00:02:13] Oh,
[00:02:19] the dawn is cold and blue. music
[00:02:22] I’m just a ghost inside a world
[00:02:24] built music
[00:02:26] for you.
[00:02:42] music
[00:02:54] My music dialogue starts again.
[00:02:57] music Welcome.
[00:03:03] music
[00:03:08] Heat.
[00:03:20] Heat.
