Aquatic Restoration: The chords have a natural waviness to them that give the sense of being underwater. I really like your choice to use instruments that are deep in the lower register to help convey the underwater effect where everything sounds lower-pitched.
Bumbling Reef: I really like how the big chords came in at 0:26 - they made me feel like I was coming out of the shadows to see the entire reef basked in sunlight with all its vibrancy!
Hollow Wayward: The opening chord swells are produced very nicely! I really like your melody on this track as it feels somewhat haunting and tense.
Hollowed Eruption: The use of the noise channel to create the sense of things falling down around you is very creative. The rapid and chaotic feeling is contrasted with the use of a major key to give the sense of optimism, which shows the determination of the main character!
And It Stared Back: Unnerving is a great word to describe this track. In addition, I also get the sense of a sadness or somber tone making me wonder what the horrible being is?
Entangled Thoughts: This track conveys a strong sense of feeling lost. The hope feels further away with the darker elements of this track clouding it out a little. I wouldn’t want to spend too much in this area of the game!
Through Our Reflections: I think it’s really cool how this sounds like it has a similar framework to the previous track, but feels more optimistic. It would be really cool to have these elements together as an adaptive version of the same level in your game.
Resolve: What a great way to conclude this adventure! It feels more optimistic. But then it seems to grow a little dissonant which makes me question if we really have resolved the sense of suffering. That’s a very complex emotion to portray.
Overall: Your story arc works really well and I think you did a good job of capturing challenging emotions in each of your songs and conveying a sense of location as well. Nicely done - thank you for sharing!
