Description
Inspired by the picture in the game jam, the protagonist stumbles upon the remnants of an ancient civilization, long since forgotten. What remains remains are buildings, now overtaken by nature. Lush grass carpets the once-grand buildings, while birds flit about, reclaiming the space as their own. The music is calm and peaceful, creating a peaceful atmosphere, and evoking a sense of passage of time as players explore this forgotten place.

Ambient critter noises a plus, dissonance a plus. Very nice piano work. Overall pleased. This was more in the vein of a lost city than some of us who pretended we were dealing with a Metroidvania. Which is completely valid under the mission parameters. Excellent.
This is a nice piece. The cello is implemented well and makes sense compositionally.
Some of the strings still sound a little synthy (which is kind of annoying about a lot of string synths, where the vibrato is almost overly stable).
Great job!
I get what u mean. Thx for your comment~
That modal interchange at 1:04 had me shouting at my screen, good stuff! Very somber vibes, reminds of of this track from FFXIV

I love the emotional route you took with this track, very nice. Gives me nostalgic vibes!
Excellent work here! You really put a lot of effort and detail in conveying an emotional melody. Especially with the variation in dynamics in the strings, making it a lot more human-like.
Stunning work, I really enjoyed the composition, the development of the internal drama and the way my emotions followed the story. There's a great share of bird sounds that create the atmosphere.
Your description of the music absolutely matches my impressions and associations.
The development of the strings theme made me want to smile, it's really great. I also really enjoyed the development and use of the different chord harmonies.
Thank you for your beautiful music, I am in love!
Very sunny and calm melody, love how you made orchestration of it. Was a pleasure to listen to, it might go a bit beyond the ambiance though, but it better this way.
Great job!
Thx~
Actually, in my mind, this track will be played when there are not many activities in the game, for example, the player is just wandering around the city. Therefore I think the music can take over a little bit, instead of pure ambient.
Really peaceful, really love that piano, and the string just make it perfect. I love it.
Thank you~
