Description
I can imagine this as a 2d boss rush game. Akin to a bullet hell. The enemy projectiles are personifications of the thoughts trying to take over.

Message from the artist
Theme: Inside My World

You're casually minding your business. Laying on your bed staring at the ceiling enjoying you time, and with out warning you're reminded of a mistake made in the past. You begin to ruminate on this thought and it won't leave you. It continues to pester you. Maybe if you ignore it, it will go away? If you deny that outcome never existed you can go back to relaxing in peace? Will repressing your memory solve your problem long term? Who knows.

Theme

Inside my world
Picture theme

How does it fit the theme?
This is all about the inner working you an anxious mind. The rampant thoughts. "Inside my world" is a metaphor for your brain's thoughts

Well finished pieces with attention to detail.  That soft Jazz vibe throughout would be perfect for an underwater level. The piano sections are beautiful. Nice job!

Loved every track!

"Intrusive Thoughts" has got to be my favorite hands down

Great Job ^_^

Really nice sounds! The whole piece sounds like Risk of Rain 2 OST and some insaneintherain if your familiar. Great work!

YES, another Reaper user!

Nice use of the leitmotiv. Loved the harmony and the result atmosphere in Repression.

Awesome job!

Great full interesting tracks with beautiful soundscapes and arrangements! Well done!
Love those retro-futuristic jazz vibes. Bass with wah pedal was definately a great choice =)

Submitted

Very nice!

The second track was my favorite because of its faster pace.

Beautiful and rich work! Fits very well with the “Asian” theme of the jam) I love it!

The opening in Intrusive Thoughts had no business being that smooth! I hear so many influences coming together to make an impression on me that goes beyond the maximum 5 stars. Loved it!

Developer

Such kind words! Thank you so much

I liked the implementation of the piano on these tracks, I think it's just me but the saxophone thing on the first and second tracks were jarring. I also liked the description of your OST and how it correlates to the theme.

Thank you! I'm curious on what you mean by jarring exactly?  If it's "piercing" that was 100% intentional 👍🏿 however, there could be some more needed mixing. Fair critique.

Good job on this, Jamail! I love the synthwave influences. I can definitely see this in a cyberpunk game or cartoon.

I do love cartoon styles 😭 thank you!

This entire soundtrack is an absolute banger, good job!
