"Shadows Fear the Spark" - Zoey Story Trailer(Music Video)
(Now stop what you’re doing, sit back, and let your emotions flow with the music.)
Hello everyone, I’ve been planning to release this video for a while, but I was only able to finish it today. This music means a lot to me, because it’s the first time I fully explained the game’s story to my musician friend(Demon Sound Studio), and he came back with this banger. It perfectly matches what I want to do with the game.
The story has shifted a little into the supernatural, but the main theme will stay the same—Zoey and Valeria trying to keep the restaurant running. However, something that happens to Zoey is going to change everything for her. I hope you’ll enjoy this crazy idea I came up with, and by the end of the game I believe you’ll understand me.
I have three release dates for you. They might seem a bit plain, but I need to be cautious in case things go sideways. I like to be prepared for the worst-case scenario and with my luck, things usually do. But as long as I’m breathing and healthy, I’ll give you my best no matter the situation.
I never really had direction or a goal in my life until now. I always felt worthless a nobody. Making this game gives me a sense of purpose and makes me feel like I actually mean something to someone. I will work relentlessly on this no matter how negative things get. AVN games are probably having their worst year, we’re being squeezed from all sides but the darkest point of the night is right before sunrise. I believe good things will happen. I want to thank my teammates for believing in me; I hope we’ll be successful together. As I always say, second place isn’t a success for me, I want to be at the top. That’s my dream. Of course, getting there is very hard, maybe even impossible, because, after all, I’m making a female-protagonist game. But no one can tell me I can’t dream. Step by step, render by render, word by word, we’ll get there.Always forward, never backward, let’s make this game as amazing as we possibly can.
So far, I’ve finished a total of 2,010 renders.
Release dates:
Optimistic → December
Wishful → January
Possible → February
That said, an early release or delay could happen too, but I want you to know I’m working on this at the maximum speed I can. Thank you.

Congratulations, the game will be a hit, and the music, well, what can I say, I have it on continuous loop, I can't do without it anymore! Best of luck with your success!
Thanks a lot, mate. We’re hyped as a team as well. I’m going to create 4–5 more videos like this to properly introduce our characters. They all have different backstories and personalities, and to me, they’re all unique: Harmony, Celeste, Calysta, Melanie (Melody), and Mariana. I don’t know if I’ll have time to create videos for all of them, but at least I want to make one about Melody because I currently have her song, called *“Through the Fire.”* Just like the name, the song is fire—very emotional but also synth + rock. Another banger, in short.
This song and the previous one are fire!! I've been listening to them on repeat for days now! Amazing work and the lyrics fit very well too. On top of this, the girls are gorgeous. What a great combo! Is there any way to find the lyrics written somewhere?
I love them too, never get bored. We’re currently working on another song called “Through the Fire,” which is going to be based on Melanie’s (Melody’s) story. Here are the lyrics of the previous songs (they’re already shown in the video as well). Shadows Fear the Spark Here is the lyrics - [Verse 1] I’ve been talking to the shadows, Counting echoes in the night… No clocks, no crowds, just the silence, Waiting for a spark of light. [Pre-Chorus] But I feel your heartbeat, Pulling me through the dark… I was lost forever, Now I’m ready to start. [Chorus] Let’s get this party started, Smoke and starlight in the air… Turn the dial to heavy metal, Feel the fire everywhere. I’ve got the light inside me, Even darkness plays a part… We’re the future, we’re the fire, Shadows fear the spark. [Verse 2] I can laugh at all the danger, “Hey old lady, hear me roar!” Quirky jokes become my armor, As the battle hits the floor. [Pre-Chorus] Every soul that’s fallen, Echoes back to me… I’m the sister you remember, I’m the one you’ll see. [Chorus] Let’s get this party started, Smoke and starlight in the air… Turn the dial to heavy metal, Feel the fire everywhere. I’ve got the light inside me, Even darkness plays a part… We’re the future, we’re the fire, Shadows fear the spark. [Bridge] Through the veil, we are stronger… Two worlds beating as one. I will fight here forever, ‘Til the darkness comes undone. [Final Chorus] Let’s get this party started, Smoke and starlight in the air… Turn the dial to heavy metal, Feel the fire everywhere. I’ve got the light inside me, Even darkness plays a part… We’re the future, we’re the fire, Shadows fear the spark. Living like it's the 80s [Verse] I’ve got a tape deck heart spinning round Neon dreams in a concrete town Polaroid moments scattered on the floor Walkman wires tangled in my hair Shoulder pads like I don’t care VHS static in my soul I need more [Chorus] Living like it’s the 80s But it’s 2025 We’re analog kids in a digital life Cassette rewind Never streaming live Living like it’s the 80s Yeah we’re keeping it alive [Verse 2] Arcade tokens Jingling in my jeans Leather jackets Ripped-up seams My mixtape’s got all the hits It’s a masterpiece Rubik’s cube spins in my restless hands Saturday nights with my retro plans This future feels like a stranger A time-release [Chorus] Living like it’s the 80s But it’s 2025 We’re analog kids in a digital life Cassette rewind Never streaming live Living like it’s the 80s
Really great song! I like it a lot! 😎💖
Thanks, mate. Same here I can’t stop listening.❤️
A good soundtrack can certainly help set the mood of a VN, and this is one of the most rocking examples of that! What stores will this VN be release on (Steam which seems to have backtracked on not allowing "adult" content, GOG which actively supported adult games and VN's during that nonsense, etc.)? Will there be an early access option for those of us who want to financially support with a one-time payment rather than a subscription? Soundtrack to be released as a DLC?
It’s still too early to talk about Steam, but we’ll get there. We’re also going to redo all the soundtracks in the game, replacing them with Demon Sound tracks, so I won’t have to worry about copyright issues anymore. We’re planning to release a DLC like that in the future. I’ll keep supporting them, and hopefully, they’ll bring even more great music, I can’t get enough of it
looks like a new occupation is in the making. well done
My girls are still unknown and not popular. Once they gain some popularity, I hope things will change. My next update will be big. We are invested in the story this time, but of course, there is sexual content too. I’m anxious but hopeful. One thing is for sure, we will do our best.
I'll take a good female protagonist game over the usual male protagonist one. I hope you're able to finish your vision!
Thanks man I will do my best. I think these girls deserve to be there,not one step less, but at the top.
I'll take the album, please ☝🏻😁. IT SOUNDS SO GOOD!!! And ZOEY 😍🥰😘😛❤️!!! Good work, Demon Sound Studio! Maybe I'll have my new laptop by then… Playing on my phone is nice and convenient, BUT it just doesn't hit the same as playing on my laptop. Xell, I'm glad to have you here. Even if you didn't create this game. I would have still cared for you as a human 😁. Like Samwise said, "Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines, it'll shine out the clearer." And I live by that saying 😁. Thank you, Xell and his team, for not giving up and giving us this game (even though female protagonist AVNs aren't really my style). BUT I HAVE TO PLAY THIS FOR THE LADIES 😍🥰😋!!! LET'S DO THIS 🔥!!!! Take your time working and perfecting this masterpiece 👍🏻!!!
Trust me, I feel the same about Demon Sound. I’m like saying to them, “Bro, my money is yours, just give me the best song you can create,” and we have some sort of understanding—they always give me better and better songs. They know I’m very picky, but they don’t fail me. I hope you will like my game, and maybe that will change your idea about female protagonist games. These songs are really good morale boosts and help me keep going.
Fuck me! That song is up with some of the best Bonnie Tyler or Pat Benetar songs for me. Very cool! And if it means anything: exactly because your Story has a FMC you mean a lot more to a lot of people. Might be less than people who like to stare at dicks, but also not too few.
The music is really good. I feel very lucky to work with Demon Sound Studios. we have very good chemistry. There is also a little easter egg in the video. I probably mentioned it before, but Harmony in my game,her name comes from the singer who sings the music. She is an AI, but a very emotional one, very unique among the AIs (officially). Because I really love her songs, I gave her name to the character in my game. That’s a very special and wholesome character. Her life is also very dramatic. I’m locked in for the top 1. I’m saying this because I trust my teammates’ capability. Currently, I have the best writer I could find, the best map maker, the best music producer, the best programmer and the list goes on like that. I will do my part and make the visuals as best as possible, but they will add the flavors the game needs.
also music is good let us download the song hehe
That song is a straight banger
I broke the repeat button. I LOVE IT!
can't wait! very excited to get my hands on this.
You and me, my friend.
