Game: "Heaven's Beloved Seas" follows a skilled sailor who crosses the seas to eventually meet the goddess that loves the waters. Together, they protect the place they call home.

Tracklist:
1. Lost at Sea: A sailor (the player) is lost at sea in search of the goddess’s wish - although apart from a recollection of the word and a strong feeling, they're not quite sure what that wish actually is. Nevertheless, they search the seas in solitude to find it. (This track plays while the player travels the sea in an overworld).

2. Battle in the Storm: As the sailor traverses the seas, they encounter harsh winds, crashing waves, and mysterious creatures that threaten to throw them aboard and destroy their progress. With great skill and determination, and courage inspired by the falling stars and gentle moonlight, the sailor overcomes these hurdles. However, the sailor cannot traverse the sea forever, and eventually they fall unconscious... (This track plays while the player is in a battle or tumultuous situation, like a storm).

3. Wishful Dreaming: In points of rest and/or weakness, the sailor falls asleep and dreams of the goddess's wish they hold dear to their heart. In some moments, they can almost feel memories of what the goddess's wish is, and why it is they're fighting so hard to find it. One day, the sailor hopes to wake up to the answers. (This track plays in moments of rest and reflection, like at a save point, on a title screen, or in cutscenes).

4. The Goddess's Wish: One fateful day, the sailor wakes up to find themselves face to face with the goddess. In a sudden flash, the sailor feels the memories of the goddess's wish flooding back. Armed with the realization of clues to complete the goddess's wish, and a newfound sense of purpose, the sailor sets off to do what they need to do - as the goddess watches in a faraway place, placing hope in the sailor that they will complete their mission. (This track plays at a momentous point in the story, when the sailor finds a certain objective related to the goddess).
