Description
This soundtrack, written in Cubase, follows a hybrid electronic/chiptune sound. I wrote the music to fit an immersive exploration game, with combat encounters and horror elements. The entire soundtrack is exactly 10 minutes in length. Each track represents either exploration or combat in one of the two worlds, the snowy frontier mountains and their twisted, otherworldly counterparts.
Theme:
How does it fit the theme?
The Cliffs of Madness and Crimson Otherworld are the two worlds in which the game would take place, with the Otherworld being a twisted reflection of the Cliffs of Madness. The Cliffs of Madness theme highlights the picture's cold and explorative nature, while the Crimson Otherworld is represented by the cut to the black-and-red landscape.

These tracks would be great ambient tracks for a horror/exploration game. I think that the exploration and encounter themes for each location would work very well as adaptive counterparts, with the encounter theme emerging in real-time when danger is near. Then a cross-fade back to the exploration theme once danger is no longer imminent. Good work and thank you for sharing!
That's exactly what I was going for. Thank you.
Ominous and industrial - I really liked these as they really created a sense of atmosphere.
I like the sound, but I think it might be easier to keep the listener's attention if you merged the exploration and encounter tracks. Since there's a lot of repetition in each of them individually, you can have it be distinct sections within the same song...plus, then you can write even more music~
Great ambience. Sounds truly dark and dystopian!
really nice vibes here, my favorite is the latter half and how twisted it sounds!
I really enjoyed the transitions from exploration to encounter. I feel like you did a great job building on those ideas and creating tension in your composition. I also feel like you did a great job representing both the picture and word themes! Nice Job!
Cold and unsettling music, got chills on my spine ^_^. Cool job!
