Hm... A space-futuristic piano mixed with creepy underwater ambient? Cool!. The transition to something dynamic was COOL!

I love it!

Some really interesting contrasts created here, with the sweeping synth sections being highly effective and there is a really nice sense of development and even fun as it develops. The sound design elements work really well, and although the beat driven sections feel like a bit of a departure from the earlier ideas, they work quite well. Some great work :)

I love the sound design! (I could be biased because I love breakcore) The transitions were super creative and the new or changing sounds always kept me on my toes. The motiff, melodic loop, whatever you want to call it was really strong and memorable, I wish I could hear it more in the second track. I know I said I love breakcore, but I think you should bring the levels down on the breakcore drums a little bit so we can hear all of the other wonderful sounds and melodies you added in.

Hello, thanks for your opinion! Yes, I realized that the drums are very loud, it was my mistake, and about the piano and violin that were heard low, I wanted to make them sound far away in reality, I wanted to imply that if they went from their current state (I forgot to take the pills) to go to the dream state (Inside my World) was very far away. I hope you understood the idea, this was translated with Google Translate xD.

In short, I wanted to make the drums and other sound effects louder than the piano and violin in "Inside my World" to imply that at that moment the main character is suffering from schizophrenia and is very far from returning to his ideal world, which is when he takes his pills.

It could probably be a psychological horror game whose objective is to take your pills, avoiding monsters and etc. I know it sounds like a default horror game, but that's what I came up with xD

that synth hitting in "inside my world" is sooo dreamy and serene i love it!!

Wow you actually captured you theme perfectly. I'm not super knowledgeable about this specific style, but the whole submission is super solid, I enjoyed it, specially with your explanation. Thank you!

Huge fan of the mixture of electronic and orchestral elements! The underlying zaps and lasers are a subtle and pleasant touch that reinforces the atmosphere you’re craving in these two tracks! Some fantastic sound design with the synthesizers you’ve used! Well done!

Developer

Thank you very much to everyone who commented, you really made my day! :D

PD: I just realized that I forgot to put the title of the game and I only put "ost jam #7" XD

i like that one is simply a happy and upbeat tune while the other is simply breakcore, I can still see the connection between the 2 songs being the short synth solo that is present in both songs. really brings in the experience of someone not able to take their meds in time.

Interesting work! Really like the contrast, very original concept. I enjoyed the experience with "I forgot to take the pills" very rude.

Nice work!

really nice contrast while still being similar!

Good Job!

Wow! Inside my world blew me away. Such a fun tune in the beginning, and I did not expect where it went next. I loved every part of it, and I did not find it incomplete one bit.

I forgot to take my pills, was also really well done. It was at times a bit hard to listen to, although I guess thats the idea with the wierd sounds and all.

Overall amazing job, dont get discouraged by not meeting your own goals. You are your own worst critic.

Inside my World is super cute, I like the swirling little chirps and effects in the background, really cute melody and was very nice to listen to, the variance with that cool synthy area also made a nice contrast that made it exciting to keep listening to. 

I really like the concept behind i forgot to take the pills, but i wish the more melodic and harmonic content was a bit louder because I think it sounds really good, and gets overwhelmed by the drums in a way that makes it hard to hear the pretty chords as opposed to creating a contrast between the drums and everything else, but the storytelling in this song is super cool and well executed. Good job overall!

This soundtrack is awesome! It perfectly captures the feeling of being on a high and completely crashing down. Excellent work, keep it up!
