Inside My World has a wonderful choice of pads/drones in the background - it just reeks of that late 90s/early 00s kind of sound. Spaced out with just a tiny bit of grit. Orchestration throughout this track was nice; keeps plodding along and evolving before resolving nicely.

Choice of instrumentation throughout Good Old YOU really reminds me of some mid-90s RPG, bordering on some MIDI music you'd find on PC in games like Theme Hospital. Absolutely adore the vibes in this one, brought me back to simpler times, haha. Nice lead melody here with some good use of bends throughout.

From the Deepest Desires Often Come is a change of mood, and then later pace. The drums here work really well in giving a driving force to the track. Kudos on varying the beat and changing the groove to provide some texture to the track. The accompaniment is arranged well and feels somewhat urgent without being panicked.

Is this Even You once again leans heavily into that core PSX sound; big pads, sparkly patches and moody ambience. The minimal percussion in this is nice to give enough of a heartbeat and let the atmosphere take over. That swelling saw in the background is great - reminds me of a track from Axiom Verge which had a similar kind of pulse to it that really added this ominous layer.

I was wondering when guitars would show up, and The Deadliest Hate delivers! Feels somewhat akin to early 90s with how this progresses. I'd be lying if I said I didn't hear some Doom elements here. Great bass work, solid choice of instrumentation and melodies. The almost-breakbeat drums toward the end go really hard (have a soft-spot for that genre) and it really works well here.

Finally, the YOU you WISH you WEREN'T, is a great track to end on. Off the bat it is ominous and almost oppressive but not quite. The softer lead synths here do a good job of keeping it from becoming too laden down but then the mood changes altogether. Once the track properly kicks in it brings me back, again, to the late 90s with both the choice of voicings and progressions. The bit-crushed drum beat is fantastic for adding texture and a little extra oomph.

All in all, super solid submission. Tightly executed and gave me nostalgia for a game that I've never played, and for one that doesn't exist! Great work. :)
