If you're looking for some inspiration the good Russian folk at the official Universe website have tons of work. If I were you, and I wanted to make a serious, quality song I'd want to make my piece really dig into the who METRO part of Metro 2033 but have kinda transitioning to a more ominous surface vibe- as it seems to be more central in Last Light. If you want to know what I'm getting at think on the following:



Just the ratta-tat-tat is like a metro. Maybe consider music as heavily based in sound effect?



Most of it is irrelevant except for the last 30 seconds or so- but as it progresses the slow transition picks up and grows darker- and darker. Just by removing one instrument, tone, or repeating part you can make things go downhill FAST.
