Description
The game was created from a nightmare I had. I don't have a synthesizer so I use a sheet Music Editor Software to created a midi (MuseScore). I also used an audio editing software and reverb (Reaper). I added and edited a free audio with sound effects too.

Message from the artist:
Hi! My name is Natalia Graziela Caldeira. I'm a musician and producer from Brazil. I'm also a violinist, choir singer and composer. This is the prototype of a game. I hope you enjoyed it!

Theme:

Runaway
Picture theme

How does it fit the theme?
The protagonist needs to escape from cursed crows in the forest.

I love it! The chromatic scales and the crows sound effects give it a mysterious forest vibe.

Great use of sound design in this, a bit too loud by moment not gonna lie. Nice eerie ambience mixed with violin melody, really nailed the nightmare, I believed it, good stuff.

I enjoyed this track. It was very tense, like being chased through the forest by crows as things got progressively more dire. I imagine this being how the game begins. I think that you would need some additional tracks to give a sense of a complete game soundtrack but this is an excellent start! I hope you can acquire some new software to experiment with, you clearly have the creativity. Bem feito!

Lovely track! The combination of voices and the (solo?) violin was great. Got a Hollow Knight vibe a bit. Very creative, well done!

Very unsettling to listen to, I think it would fit a cutscene or something like that. Good job, especially when you used only musescore for the music.
