MushMatch is a Mush-based gameplay ormat, introduced in 2018 as an Unreal Tournament gametype (the spotlight of GusPack 2), and that in 2019 will have a Sentient Mushes version (with planned Zandronum compatibility).
To accompany its diversity of situations is a special soundtrack, meant to represent many kinds of moments. Most music is meant to be played locally, i.e., client-side, and is playable both by humans and mushes, unless it is specified otherwise.
Music that plays when the plot is not yet known.
For the illusion of joy, there is Not Quite Right
This song plays on positive events that happen before the discovery of the first Mush.
For calm suspense, there is Over the Moon
This song plays on suspicious evidence about a negative event, including the discovery of the first Mush.
For tense mystery, there is Tainted Breeze
When the aftermath of a negative event occurs, this song shall play. For example, a dead body (maybe a murder from a mush) will make the game play this tune when found.
This song can also be the 1st song played in the Suspense state, as long as the event has caused the transition from Prelude to Suspense.
This music plays for all players.
Otherwise, there is the wildcard song Secrets Are Secrets
Generally the beginning of a match, where nothing happened. There is a 15% chance Not Quite Right will play instead.
Music that plays when the plot is already noticed.
In relief situations, Waterfall will be played.
This song usually plays when the situation is oddly calm, i.e. no battles or fatalities have ensued in at least two minutes, hence "relief".
The check to change to this song usually happens after the end of the previous song, to avoid suddenness.
This music plays for all players.
In suspense situations, Shade Gunner will be played.
When evidence is found for a possible Mush in the vicinity, this song will play.
Human only song.
When an end is near, A Fading Color will be played.
This song has a 50% chance of playing instead of the default one if only under 20% of the original tripulation is still alive.
Otherwise, Vindication will be played.
The default song to be played is a random choice.
