Really unique submission! These tracks convey the atmosphere of the game very well and i love the different instruments you used. I can definitely hear the inspirations you took from Rain World!

Description
The overall soundtrack is supposed to represent a first-person parkour game where you traverse a massive cavern that was once inhabited by your ancestors though it has since been forgotten by the rest of the world. It is your goal to reconnect with your oldest ancestor, and eventually join them by the end of the game.
TRACK ONE - Upon Descent
This track is the title theme of the whole game and is meant to show the journey ahead of you, like most other games.
TRACK TWO - Amidst the Grand Rubble
This track is for when you meet your long dead ancestor's ghost. This is who instructs you to explore the expanse of the caverns and the structures that lay across it, though there is something off about his intent.
TRACK THREE - Requiem of the Subterrain
This track is the one that I put the most effort into. I tried very hard to capture the journey you are heading on, and the generational trauma of what may have happened to it; an evil that has since been vanquished. All that remains is you.
TRACK FOUR - Grand Ascent
The true intentions have been revealed, now you are to ascend and join the rest of your kind. You have to put your trust into the ones who came before you, to guide you down the paved road, to finally be at peace. The end.
To compose every track, I used FL Studio 21 to arrange everything, and used several soundfonts that I can provide if asked, along with some samples I found online that I can also provide. My inspiration is mainly from games like Chrono Trigger, Rain World, and The Legend of Zelda.

Inside my world
How does it fit the theme?
It fits the theme of the jam by having you descend into a world now unknown, one that now belongs to you.
