What a haunting atmosphere you manage to create here! Super smart way of creating the clock sounds, if you hadn't said anything I wouldn't have suspected a thing haha. Other than that, very nice track composition and arrangement. I really liked in particular the whole feel and haunting melodies of "Playing with Time" and the little Bossa Nova / Jazzy groove on the clock percussions. Other than that nothing really stood out to me, everything sounded really full, I don't think you need to stack instruments too much on top of each other which can make it sound muddy as you said if not mixed properly (usually the pitfall I personally tend to end up in). Really great entry, you did an amazing job being able to tell a story from start to finish just through your music!
