Description
4 Hybrid Orchestral & Electronic songs to tell a story of a journey through a luminescent lucid dream!

Delve Within The Soul (Title Screen & Main Theme) : The introduction to your journey & giving a sense of wonder to what you might encounter...

Crossing The Depths of Sorrow (Overworld #1) : You slowly realize that a lot of sadness encompasses you... your worries & sorrow have culminated into a sea! This tune will play as you figure out your way through the depths of sorrow.

Soaring In Ambition (Overworld #2): You've discovered the key to leaving this sorrow filled dream is high in the sky. Therefore you do what any dreamer would do. Fly high and soar through the sky!

FEARMONGER (Escape Theme): You're ALMOST there but before you reach the event horizon, the FEARMONGER, a being who chases after you, not permitting you to leave. Why can't you control it? What is it? A monster? A sub-conscious culmination of your fears? Escape from this lucid nightmare at all costs or face it & end it all!

All music made myself in FL Studio & art was done myself with Aseprite

Delve Within The Soul absolutely makes you want to hear more and play the game. It has a really nice depth to it that fits the idea of dreaming but also has a lot of drive signaling a journey. The vocals are especially beautiful. 
Crossing The Depths of Sorrow captures the image of a sea of sadness really well. Depending on the imagined story it could have been even more sad in my opinion. 
Soaring In Ambition makes you want to fly into the sky as well! I love how uplifting it sounds. 
FEARMONGER creates a lot of hype which is very fitting for this point of the game. A banger!
All in all this soundtrack reminds me of a mix of gris and undertale/deltarune songs. I love it! The progression is very well done. 

Developer

Thanks so much <3 I had concerns the progression wouldn't flow well but I'm glad it hit the mark for you.

This was really really enjoyable to listen to! All the songs really did feel like they all came from the same soundtrack and all had really cool and unique things to them, FEARMONGER was one i really liked as well, overall super professional sound, very clear you know what you are doing.

Honestly I think this is a winner right here, I absolutely love Delve Within The Soul, its perfectly balanced with how atmospheric it is while not sacrificing motion and movement, very well done. 

Crossing the Depths of Sorrow has a mix of a Hollow Knight and Risk of Rain 2 Vibe which I didn't expect after hearing DWTS but was a welcome surprise.

Soaring with ambition also is full of energy, and the acoustic drums still give it a live, fresh feel, again, great work.

I def hear an undertale in FEARMONGER, shoutout lol. Great intense finale themewith echoes of the atmospheric DWTS to wrap up the game. Overall a great OST, DWTS remaining my favorite track, best of luck to you!

That's incredibly high praise, thank you so much <3
I agree DWTS is my personal favorite as well, 7 years ago I'd never have thought of creating something like that.

I absolutely adore the female vocals in the first track, and I love the shift in style that Fearmonger brings. There is a lot of variety in this OST, and you crushed all of it!

Developer

Thank you so much <3
