“PLAY” WILL
SET YOU FREE
What to Expect
Play Will Set You Free is a Smash Bros tournament ENDING WITH a VISUAL ALBUM SCREENING built around Ryan The Son’s album Recovering Athlete, blending gaming, music, and mindful competition.
All matches within a bracket are the same fixed length, determined by the runtime of that track
Match replays use the bracket's song as the audio bed, no music video visuals, just the track over gameplay
❋ Song-Based Brackets:
❋ Why This Works:
Gives each tournament phase its own emotional identity
Keeps the album present throughout without forcing a "performance"
Creates natural pacing and consistency within each round
