I've made this comment on a couple other OSTs in this jam, but I think it bears repeating: When viewed as VGM, these longer tracks that pull their variations out like taffy are very welcome, as they'll take the experience of playing the game and make it more pleasurable. So I have to try and judge these in the context of how they would actually fit into a game, and in that context, I think these tracks work very well. The overall feel of the album is that it would work for a game with a strong cinematic flavor.

Description
I used FL Studio 21 to compose the songs, its half ambient and half-action oriented classical fusion rock songs. Each song represents a hurdle the main character overcomes.
Theme:
How does it fit the theme?
This fits the theme because it tells the story of an older man, running out of time, unknowing to him. The ruling God of this universe is going to reset time and has to do so by cruel means. She rose to Godhood, much of this shrouded in history and told through religious texts. The entire universe essentially revolves around the concept of time, as the God rules over it. There is a constant cycle of life and death, so living only means so much to the inhabitants of the in-game universe.
