Nice piece!
I think your sound, the repetitiveness and the constant flowing of 8ths could work well as a video game track Kinda gives me some Celeste vibes but with big strings.
One thing worth trying is not having the strings, which for me is the main melody, always change one the 1. A tiny bit more rhytmical variation might go a long way to keep the listener a bit more guessing and making the piece flow more natural.
I did really like the vibe you were going for and the way you handled the 7/8 worked really way for this piece.

Honestly how could a videogame-esque song about a mountainous place NOT give Celeste vibes lol
Keeping the strings on the 1 count was my way of trying to give the piece some stability, or like a foundation I guess? I suppose I sort of used the strings as a fallback though, so it could've been done better if I'd tried to experiment more. Thank you for the feedback!
