Interesting soundtrack with a unique, dark atmosphere. Good job!
haunting
Such a unique entry, the dissonance is perfect for the theme and I would totally listen to something like this in a game and enjoy it!
The last half of Rottenmouth Theme is INCREDIBLE. The amount of emotion you were able to add to your singing is insane. Incredible job, that was really amazing to listen to!
I really liked the spoken word/singing part, I really felt like I was in a game during that part. Reminded me a bit of the narrator in the Bastian OST. Would be interesting to hear more songs in this musical showtune style matched with a game OST structure.
when the vocals came in it was such a cool moment. Not gonna lie I was checking out a little but I perked up immediately when that happened.
The vocal performance in Rottenmouth was really cool! The piano is very lovely, but I'm not a huge fan of the vox sounds though. I think the game's premise is interesting and creative. Good job and thanks for the entry!
I like the piano part in "Peaceful Abandoned", but I got kind of distracted by the vox sound. It works better in "Rottenmouth Theme" as a more ambient pad. And the vocal performance was awesome! Good job!
This is solid - the piano in the first track is woven in such a way that makes it hard to lock on to what it's trying to convey. This kind of ambiguity can be difficult to latch onto and really make work, but I think you've done a great job with it, personally. Really feels befitting of the title.
Rottenmouth Theme feels much more explorative and experimental. Aforementioned piano is still present but instead supporting the accompaniment of airy and somewhat eerie pads. As others have mentioned - the spoken word was unexpected but actually works really well. Kudos on the ambience continuing behind it and then gradually reintroducing melody and instruments to create a rather ominous but mysterious crescendo. Great work, this was very unique!
This is cool! Wasn't expecting the spoken word and singing halfway through the first track, but the acting is superb on it! Very unique take for a main game theme. I love the synths you've chosen and your placement of instruments in the mix is really cool. It reminds me of a modern take on an SNES era game, especially the second track!
The sung vocal & spoken word get a little lost in the mix at the end of the first track when all the instrumentation kicks back in, makes it a little hard to parse the lyrics. That's basically my only complaint about any of the mixing, though - you've achieved a really atmospheric set of recordings with your mix choices!
The work was very pleasantly surprised by the choir from the very beginning) The choir is a little sad, which sets the right atmosphere
Voice… I liked it) Very emotional and acting.
From the only one... I think that in the Rottenmouth Theme, the drums could be made a little louder) And so — a very emotional job!
