Caught me straight away with the intro into Inside my Mind - the thought put into the piano chords, the reversed reverb swell into it and the general dark tone that persists throughout. Gorgeous playing and thoughtfully pensive leading melodies. I like the accompaniment of the strings supporting the piece half-way through and the exploration into an even higher register with the lead, even if only briefly.

Mindspace is a departure from what I would have expected to follow up the first track, but it's pretty great. The intro blurring into orchestration is a nice touch and the layering of the strings is really well done. Choice of synth dubbing over them is eerie - not quite haunting, but not comforting either. Hair-rising without being adrenaline pumping. The latter two thirds of the track is really cool - good beat and supplemental percussion to flesh it out. Chord progression beneath it is nice and I love the change of articulation on the strings to enhance the beat.

Track 3, An Old Friend, feels a little more in line with the main theme but I really like how you've erred entirely in the middle of ambiguity here. Not easy to strike that balance of landing the listener right in the middle of various emotions but you killed it with this track. The prospect of meeting an old friend would be, in most cases, a happy thing, but this feels kind of unsure. It isn't quite a sombre event, but it is caked in uncertainty - in my opinion, anyhow. Great work on arranging this one.

Dreamtown feels a bit more pensive and definitive in its direction, but not fully so. It plods along and pulls you with it, without quite stopping at any point for a breather. It's an interesting palate cleanser after the last track, especially so when you consider the direction that Repressed Memories goes in.
Dark off the bat with a drone pulsing gently in the background. Fantastic choice of chords here for the piano, and I really like how you've spaced them out - there's no rush to fill the spaces in between. A very less-is-more approach that works really well in a track that has the tone absolutely befitting of the title. I really like how this explores a couple of other tones as it progresses on but ultimately begins to slink back into that dark, droning uncertainty by the end.

Really enjoyed this - it's dark without being gritty. An sombre undercurrent of how complex and confusing emotions can be when they're askew. I think this, as a whole, works really well for underscore and I think this would need a really special game to fully utilize it to its max potential - because it deserves that kind of attention to detail and tight execution. Great work, this is one of the frontrunners for me I think.
