“Since childhood, I’ve all the time been drawn to the musical aspect of every part—theme songs in exhibits and films, professional wrestling entrance songs, and online game soundtracks, in fact. Music enhances visible and interactive media, however the reverse can also be true, and I sadly by no means get the luxurious of working with different artistic folks. The universe appears to leap by hoops to make all roads result in doing all of it your self, which is how I ended up as a producer and musician within the first place. I find yourself instructing myself the way to play devices, combine and grasp, and be a photographer and video editor. I wasn’t going to depend on Konami or Nintendo to come back in search of me, so I added recreation developer to the listing.”
These are the highly effective phrases from the artist I Am Kassandra for Social Way of life Journal. It’s an honor to be taught extra from the artist, who describes their musical fashion:
“As a listener, my music desire has all the time been far and wide, and it’s just about been the identical as an artist. After I was ‘daxelin,’ you possibly can hear a form of style swap from album to album. The way forward for I AM KASSANDRA’s musical fashion goes to get very exhausting to explain, however for this album, being a gaming expertise, the swap occurs virtually monitor to trace.”
When requested if any songs or soundtrack moments from this launch really feel particularly significant—whether or not creatively, emotionally, or in relation to the sport itself—the artist shares:
“‘A Track’ and ‘RAGE QUIT!!!’ have been at first phases of writing manner earlier than this album was even an thought. I used to be at a little bit of a breaking level, and my existential obsession with science and attempting to actually perceive the universe was starting. ‘A Track’ was a track, ‘RAGE QUIT!!!’ was a poem, and all of it adopted the primary line: ‘Generally once I get up, I want I by no means did.’ That ended up being simply part of the track, and it sort of was this ‘remaining boss’-type idea, the place you attain the top of actuality.
“When it got here time to make a stage for it within the recreation, it developed into this ‘what if’ thought. What if persons are seeing UFOs? What if persons are being kidnapped? However what if the ‘aliens’ are literally folks—conducting experiments and surveillance proper above everybody’s heads, whereas additionally gaslighting them into believing they’re one thing else fully? The idea helped dial the track again a bit, which it wanted. The unique poem was a lot darker, and I’d have by no means shared it.”
Pulling from a deep effectively of nostalgia and ambition, the artist displays on the roots of the challenge and the affect they hope it leaves behind:
“As I mentioned, I used to be an enormous fan of online game soundtracks—Donkey Kong Nation, EarthBound, Avenue Fighter II—and the way in which each fighter had such a memorable stage track. I’d love for EVERYTHING IS ERROR to resonate with an viewers as a complete, however this challenge allowed me to have a full-circle second, whether or not it goes viral or not. I had quite a lot of enjoyable and frustration making this recreation, but it surely’s truly out now on iOS and Android, and I had no thought what I used to be doing lower than half a 12 months earlier than its launch. Even for those who don’t like the sport or soundtrack, I’d hope you can take one thing away from that.”
But when that chapter was about arrival, what comes subsequent is about reinvention. Turning the web page, this artist doesn’t maintain again on the subject of the longer term, collaborations, and a artistic shift that feels as private as it’s uncompromising:
“I feel I received myself labored up earlier over my lack of collaborations haha, I need to see my inbox flooded from all of the artistic peoples of LA after this! Actually, as excited as I’m about this challenge being accomplished, I’m equally excited for it to be behind me. This album was a group of labor that spans three years. Three years in the past ‘a track’ was launched as ‘Track’ below daxelin (now pulled from streaming companies). To be candid, a few of it feels dated for the place I’m at as an individual, in flip as an artist. As experimental as this album could (or could not) sound to an viewers, I nonetheless thought in regards to the viewers, I feel all of us do, to a point, even after we suppose we don’t. I can’t be doing that sooner or later. I don’t know the way to clarify it with out sounding like some cliché ‘I make music for me,’ or like I’m now going to make a 15 minute track of silence the place a lone doorbell chimes at 11:11. I’m saying I’ll create outdoors of the performative appearing world of ‘civilization,’ the hypocrisies, the political storylines, the instigative puppet masters and their offended puppets, and the entire issues that hold the typical human distracted from their very personal existence. There may be this recreation we play, the place all of us exit and faux we aren’t a collective consciousness, pondering, and saying the identical wild issues as our neighbors, behind closed doorways, in our heads, possibly packaged in numerous phrases. I’ll create, and I’ll resolve whether it is acceptable to have a mean human viewers, one which pretends, after.”
To shut, the artist, I’m Kassandra displays on the sudden evolution of the challenge, revealing how a easy thought rapidly grew into one thing way more formidable:
EVERYTHING IS ERROR didn’t start as a recreation—but it surely grew to become one by enlargement and experimentation.
“It was initially launched in November 2025,” the artist explains. “After that, I needed to make music movies that felt like recreation phases. So I taught myself coding. Then animation. Then character design. Then every part else.”
That course of rapidly escalated into full-scale reinvention.
“I ended up pulling the album, rebuilding it, and remodeling every part to operate as each a soundtrack and a playable expertise. By April 2026, each the sport and album have been full and launched collectively.”
