Really cool soundtrack. So creepy, got goosebumps from some track. My fav is probably Rock and Stalagmites, Cat and Mouse and Metro...

How did you get this done?! I like the various effects you used here, very unique theme.

Great works!!! Congratulations

Very cool soundtrack! Really nailed the 90's fps vibe. Those boss fight tracks really bring the stank face out!

I didn't play fps games too much in the past, but this definitely matches the vibe very well with the ones I have played. The Sound design was very fitting for the theme you presented, as it gave me that creepy feeling that something not normal was lurking somewhere nearby. 

Beginning of Salvation: This is a really interesting track. Lots of creepy sounds setting the atmosphere for the game. I like the synth pulses showing what I’m assuming is the heart rate of the patient zero. The bit-crushed bass adds a lot of intensity to this track, putting me on edge while listening!

Horrible Village: The sound of this track is similar to Metroid Prime exploration areas with the dark ambient type of sound. I like the ambiguity of the bass/low synths which are indistinct but drive the somewhat soft intensity of the level.

Caves: The reverby droplet sounds work well to convey the cave vibes. I like your minimalistic approach with just having a simple beat, an ambient bass, a background drone, and sound effects, making this track really great for a dark and dank setting.

Sewers: I think that silence and space is a very powerful tool in video games and this track takes advantage of that to create a very mysterious and barren feel to this area. The beat with the sound effects is creative and kept me listening throughout!

Rock and Stalagmites: I think this is cool how you used the previous track as a base of sorts for this track and turned it into more of a hard rock track!

Underwater Serpent: The bass is such a groove! Wow the drums that come in give this track a nice battle intensity to it. I like the continuity of using the background pitched clanging noise which tells me we are in the same area as the previous tracks. I really like the part where the buzzy synths cut out and you use a cleaner bass to convey an idea before returning with the gritty bass.

Train: The use of guitar as a melody instrument changes the feel to more of a rusty industrial feel. Nice new area theme!

Among the Boxes: The industrial vibe hits hard in this track.I love it when industrial sounds are used in the beat of a track! I may borrow the idea to use steam release as a sort of cymbal hit sound.

Raising the Crow’s Nest: I like this beat because it feels like someone trying to be stealthy while scaling buildings. Using clanging metal sounds with the absence of cymbals is an interesting way to continue to highlight the industrial aspect of this area.

National Emblem: The industrial percussion again is drawing me in and captivating me. The bass lick you use is also really catchy. It’s interesting choice to use an organ with an industrial sound, but to me it seems to represent the raven boss of this track since it came in a bit in the previous track too! The tempo changes of this track are really creative to help change the pace and feel of the battle.

False Rest: The ambient bird sounds with the metallic pad feel relaxing here. The ominous feeling picks up again quickly though!

Cat and Mouse: I really like how this track was directly connected to the track preceding it. Wow the transition into the chase section is sudden, but works so well! The bass and drums work so well together to create the feeling of a 90s racing game (at least that’s what I associate this type of sound with!) I like the growth of this track and really like the brass part at the end!

Metro in the City: This track has an interesting uplifting feel to it as the melody is mostly in the major key but there are dark borrowed notes that tell us that it isn’t quite supposed to be a happy song. The voice overs sound almost like conductors announcing something overhead over the intercom.

Rest Zone: This track conveys some interesting emotions through the chords you choose. The instrumentation is interesting and harmonically, I think this is your best track as it gives us some meandering implied chords that work surprisingly well given the refusal to stay in the same key.

Queen’s Archives: Really cool lead into this track from the previous track. Love that really heavy bass in this track!

Full Metal Tempo: The bass and drums alone drive this track forward and make it a really nice shooter track in what sounds like a fairly dangerous area. 

Green Stage: I really like the use of low bass drums. That voiceover is really creepy! There is a newfound intensity in this track that tells me we are nearing the final boss!

Chaotic Stage: Now we’re kicking it up a notch! Just when I think you can’t make it sound any more intense, your next track surprises me with something like this!

Patient Zero: I like the use of some traditional East Asian instrumentation which seems to be a nod toward the culture that we assume that patient zero comes from given her clothing. What a spectacular final boss theme! I’m very impressed with how much battle music you’ve created in this jam! It’s hard for me to finish even one battle track in such a short amount of time! Wow those screams and the glitching sounds at the end sounds so intense!

Monologue: Woah, this is so creepy… I’m going to have nightmares from this. But I can’t turn it off! What an ending! 

Overall: This is a lot of music and it’s very impressive that you were able to produce this much in just 10 days! When I listened to this, I imagined playing the game you imagined and I think this music achieves the goal of creating an atmosphere of darkness and anxious energy driving the motivation to complete a mission in the style of a first person shooter well. You also do a good job conveying your story, especially in the last few tracks. Your strength musically is certainly in writing percussion grooves and creating environmental atmospheres through sound design and instrument choices. My personal 6th category is “game readiness” and this OST scores very highly in that category for sure! Well done and thank you for sharing!

20 tracks? You madman!

The sound design overall is perfect for that old school FPS vibe you were going for. Those industrial beats with strings and crunchy, distorted synths mesh really well. I loved all the bubble sounds in Caves and Sewers. Especially Caves, that  sounded like something thick and viscous was bubbling, like mud or lava. Train is another track that stood out to me, I liked the use of the steam engine hisses as a rhythmic element and using the banjo to give it an old school railroad feel but still surrounded by industrial sounds. I also like how Cat and Mouse turns into a full techno track

The loudness of these tracks were a little uneven. I found that I had to keep adjusting my volume lower as I got through the OST. For example, Patient Zero is quite a bit louder than the first boss song Underwater Serpent. While variation in dynamics throughout a song is good, and atmospheric tracks make sense to be a little quiter than boss tracks, they should have a consistent max volume so the listener doesn't have to adjust volume settings. All of the boss songs should be at the same max volume level.

The textures and sound design were great and made for a cohesive soundtrack where I could imagine each level as I listened, and the amount you were able to make is quite impressive. Great work!

My dude just drops 20 tracks like it's nbd. Kudos just for that level of commitment in submitting that many completed tracks.

Love the chaos here. Things start off unsettling, then just completely lose control.  There is some pretty thick horror ambience here, and there are always just enough things happening to keep things interesting.

The wailing synth in track 3 is great. As for the crackling and popping sounds, I hate them. But in a good way. All you needed was a good "SNAP" in there somewhere and you would have had an entire box of Rice Krispies!

The sound design continues to be unsettling, at times slightly startling, in all the right ways. The panned delay on that rising synth on track 4 is a nice touch.

I'm assuming these battle and boss themes were supposed to be adaptive in nature and transition from the previous track. If not, they both would certainly serve great at that purpose. Love the crunch and straight up gnarliness of the guitars here. For the boss theme, the dissonance between the acoustic guitars and the ... whatever the hell else is going on is very well-crafted. The chords towards the end of this one change things up nicely.

In case you forgot you were in an industrial zone in track 9, Trent Reznor stops by and drops a few drum beats off to remind you.

The second boss theme has a nice steady beat to it that is a welcome change from the unsteady ambience. The sound design continues to be top notch throughout the rest of the soundtrack, with the sudden change up (fake out?) in "False Rest" and subsequent transition into Cat and Mouse being a nice surprise.  I assume that Songbird the Crow couldn't fit onto the subway train, or it was just too weirded out by the vocals in track 13 to continue on.

I'm not falling for this again, there's no way there is an actual "Rest Zone" in this game.  Yep, there it is. 

I feel like this soundtrack is slowly gluing itself together as we get towards the end, with Full Metal Temple having quite a bit of structure compared to many of the previous tracks.  The strings in "Green Stage" are a nice surprise, and this soundtrack keeps managing to change things up despite it's length and volume.

Who is the boss of the techno temple? It's techno viking, isn't it?

Things are straight up organized chaos in "Patient Zero. " Along with carrying a much more prevalent and forward melody in some sections, it also seems to call back to many of the instruments and sounds used previously. The weight and dreadful energy in this track is powerful.

A+ sound design, A+ ambience crafting, A+ horror vibes. Thanks, I hated it.  (just kidding, nice job!)

This is such fun! Awesome that you've created so many different tracks, it's a proper OST so you can imagine the entire game. The boss music is kick-ass! The Trent Reznor influence is totally there of course, and I can also hear Metroid Prime there too, and bits of House Of The Dead as well actually. Brilliant fun, thankyou!

Didn't read the influences at first and already like 5 seconds into the first track, I'm like "wow, i love these Quake vibes" and sure enough Quake was on your list lol. Very cool! The 90's/2000's shooter genre will always be my fav! I was even getting Metroid Prime vibes kinda in parts of track 9 and 10. Awesome job!

I like the later pieces (From Sound Cloud) like the Metro in the City.

Without reading the description, I was thinking of Zombie Apocalypse. Then as I read the description, it matches the sound of the song. ;)

Love it!

I finally listened to the entire soundtrack 4 times and finally want to say....

Ok. But you could have done more.

How did you write so much in a week?!

There's a lot to like here. For me the standout tracks are the boss tunes, which have great breakbeat-action energy. And the ambient stuff isn't bad either. I would humbly suggest looking for things that might be trimmable from some of the ambient pieces in particular; as it is it feels almost like I'm watching a longplay of the game but can only hear the music, but that sort of cuts both ways; when things feel slow they may feel slower than intended, but I think the overall effect is positive.

The thematic correlation felt a bit weak to me but the actual dreamt-up project you put it to was excellently conceived, and I found it creative and very well-produced overall.

Impression/Composition: 4
Theme: 3
Creativity/Quality: 5

Favorite track: Sewer Boss, Chaotic Stage (#18)

You really captured those classic FPS music vibes! There are cool and enjoyable industrial beats everywhere in your OST, fantastic work!
