Very well polished! I really like the composition itself but honestly everything about this is high quality and you can tell effort was put into this track, and I love the cover art

I really liked the key change at 1:04 it really perked my attention because it sounded really nice. It happened a few more times and it was great every time.

This was a very good entry. It never felt like it was just reversed for the sake of reversing which I think is a trap a lot of entries might fall into.

I also quite like the cover art it feels very analog horror-esque.

Thanks! I think one of the main reasons it sounds natural to reverse is because of the piano in the second half making it so the song doesn’t just have a “normal part” and a “reverse part”. It’s like a secret instrument that gets “unlocked” when you go backwards.

I’m also glad you liked the cover art. It’s a picture of my face taken with weird settings on my Logitech camera, then I flipped the left side to make it symmetrical, or in this case, palindromic. I also added a lot of effects, too.

I’m glad you enjoyed it all!

Nice. Sounds like an old JRPG soundtrack and instills in me a unique sense of dread. Maybe more similar to Yasunori Mitsuda.

This is very cool! The composition is excellent, I like the emotional shift when it goes to reverse. This was a nice listen!

Does King Korok like lotuses or the Zelda series by any chance?

Developer

Unfortunately, King Korok has not heard of the Zelda series. I appreciate you listening to my work, though!
