Really nice sense of atmosphere created in your tracks :) Think a bit about creating more ’space’ in the harmonic sustains in places, as this would really help in tracks like Hollowed Eruption and Towards Our Reflections. Great sense of shape to the overall OST, nice work!

Description
A short OST for a fictional game, Euphloria is my submission for the OST Composing Jam 7. Euphloria is an explorative platformer set in a strange world of flora and aquatic depths, in a sort of representation of the mind.
Aquatic Restoration -
The track that plays at the very beginning. Your character, a strange water being, forms in a calm yet lively place filled with lush, colorful foliage. Wonder and discovery flows throughout.
Bumbling Reef -
The theme of the Bumbling Reef, a thriving environment filled with coral and strange otherworldly beings, filled with happiness and imagination.
Hollow Wayward -
A somber tune for a significantly darker and more mysterious place, filled with cavernous ruins. Everything is significantly quieter and deeper.
Hollowed Eruption -
The track of the escape sequence, with wild currents pulling everything down and in a ruckus. Everything is pushing you out, but you push through it.
And it Stared Back -
The darkness stares back at you. An unnerving sense of dread spreads before you. A being so horrible. . . Why would it exist here?
Entangled Thoughts -
The theme of the Neuronic Forest, lost in an endless maze of entropy and forlornness. Hope is the thing that's driving you forward, to press on further.
Through our Reflections -
An epiphany. Looking through the crystal at the heart of it all, you know what you must do. Searching for the core of this dread and ridding it of this world, to a peaceful resolution.
Resolve -
After calming the source of all this suffering, everything begins to recede. Your deed has been done, and you may ascend from this world, this mind. . .
Message from the artist
I'm relatively new to all of this, I hope I did okay :). My main sources of inspiration were probably Celeste and a little bit of Undertale.
Theme
How does it fit the theme?
The way Euphoria is meant to fit the theme is through representing a world in someone's mind, filled with life and excitement but also worry, doubt, and anxiety. It is the player's goal to resolve these feelings and restore the liveliness this world was once filled with.
