I hear the Christopher Larkin influence a lot in this, I love his music.

I think the three tracks flowed naturally between each other, I can see this being part of the same world. The introduction to track 3 was also really well done, it immediately gave me waterfall vibes!

I think 10,000 Hinoki Trees was weighted a bit too much on the low end, it gave the track a heavy and tight feeling that goes against what I imagine a forest would be like. This could just be an aesthetic choice though, the track was still really nice to listen to and connected tracks 1 and 3 well in the story you wrote in the description. The vocals in the middle of that track brought a nice lightness to the track and also kept it interesting!

Overall very nicely done, I enjoyed listening to the soundtrack.

Great feedback, glad you got the waterfall idea in the 3rd song.  I feel like I've heard that descending piano motif in water areas in SNES-era JRPGs but failed to find a good reference so I just recreated what I heard in my head.  Also, I agree that 10,000 Hinoki Trees could use some brightness, even if I was going for a darker theme.  The higher elements are mixed really quietly.  Thanks again for listening!

I’m far from an expert for this, but in the music that I really enjoy I find that bright elements in a dark theme can really emphasise the dark/gloomy feelings from the rest of the instrumentation.

The Dirtmouth theme in Hollow Knight is an excellent example of this, the atmosphere set up by the low sounds get amplified a lot when the high registers come in (just like with the vocals in your track)!
