old topic but i wanted to share my thoughts, I listen to crossing the astral bridge on repeat a TON. There is an uneasy, careful tone to the song that doesnt fit into my typical music taste, at least when it comes to when im just jamming or working, but while the tone does make me uncomfortable a little bit, I find the song to be very comforting.
I was thinking about why the hell I feel this way, Till I realized the narrative connotations of the song within Minotaur Hotel. I have only done the route where u are super nice, because Asterion deserves the best haha, and crossing the astral bridge plays during a few key moments that really stick out in my head. I still vividly remember the scene where you first discover Asterion, and are learning about the hotel, even tho it's been forever since I first read it, and this song plays a lot during that segment. I may have this wrong, but im pretty sure it also plays sometimes when you go out to the desert to meet Argos, or at least before you start speaking to him and his theme starts. It also gets played a bunch when your exploring the mysteries of the Hotel.
With all this in mind, I see now that crossing the astral bridge comforts me so much to hear because I associate that uneasiness with the more challenging aspects of Minotaur Hotel's story, and in the face of those challenges, I always chose to be as kind and good as I could. To me this song sounds like standing my ground, and acting with love and care in the face of a harsh and mysterious world. so that's why its my fav!
