Sick lore in the description, shame I don't have an SPX to try it out myself... I felt such an awesome and dark vibe from the entire soundtrack, and I especially loved the background textures in track 2. Cool stuff!!!
Reading that description, if someone showed me this and told me this was a real game, I'd probably believe them, it just feels like an actual thing that existed. Plus the soundtrack is really fitting for the horror style you chose for your game, I feel like it would help create that kind of ambient. Overall a very solid submission all around, amazing work on this!
This is great! I love the horror vibe you've created and the story behind the cult classic is killer! I want to play this game haha
Love how you fleshed out the "non-existent game" aspect of the jam, really well done! The whole audiovisual aesthetic is really spot on, and the compositions are great too. Super impressed with the genre diversity, particularly enjoyed the lofi and cinematic elements. Really great work!
I absolutely loved this right from the first track! You nailed that early PS era vibe in both mix and instruments. Castle Iris has the perfect amount of energy and foreboding tone to convey the danger within, and Rattrapan's theme is a certified banger! Eternity Engine is a great final boss track. I really loved this! Great work!
As a horror fan, I think you nailed this! Your melodies and beats are captivating, creating moments of high suspense, action, and creepiness in equal measure. The ticking sounds were haunting in a really cool way. Honestly, I wish this were a real game that I could play. (Also, nice clock-related reference on the "Geneva Waves" name!)
it really does feel like a PS era game! Good work
The style of this is really cool! I was expecting more of an ambient kind of horror sound but this was much more fun :) 4 is my favorite, the chord changes are super nice and the way the ticking distorts in the end is so spooky.
super cool and unique style that i was not at all expecting! it really does feel like a PS era horror game. your music easily paints a picture of the game and it's story. super well done :)))
Absolutely following the style and time You aim for, and also - for the most part - have that lovely horror feeling of the genre. Would love to play the game!
This soundtrack was a continuous surprise, but still cohesive. Well done :)
Sound like what you described! Worldbuilding is great :D
PS: hahaha StayPlation xd
Wow, nice decision to make the first track to sound like soundtracks usually don’t. And good job overall!
The vinyl crackles are so awesome! The Whole soundtrack has a slight lo-fi feel to it and I think that's awesome!
This is seriously cool. I love the trap direction of the first track. The fourth track has really cool textures and I like the chord choices. Those two are definitely my favorites. Great work!
