My favourite one is "No Sanctuary For The Hunted" very cool intro and the development with the violin really ups the tension fitting your description. Well done!
I like your take on the theme, very unique story. For the first track I would've liked a little bit more bass just to give it more depth but overall great. Before reading the description and jumping directly to soundcloud I was expecting some kind of Gregorian chant but I was pleasantly surprised with the 8-bit texture. Good job!
Emilè'sTheme - My first though was Liszt for the intro.... It fits perfectly to the description that you give, it truly shows the "eccentricity" of the professor.
No escape - For some kind of reason the intro reminded me to the opening song of Westworld, anyways, very cool piece, the chopin inspiration shows. Well done!
I really like the atmosphere you created with both your pieces. The second one, exactly at 0:55 seconds reminded me of a track called "Second Chances" of the Starcraft 2 Legacy of the Void OST, Its such a nice piece, really evokes a sense of hopefulness in the middle of all despair. Great Job!
(Btw nice cover art, really fits the style of your tracks, props to the artist as well)
"this might suck and i know it" thankfully, from my perspective, you are wrong, you successfully managed to portray the peacefulness that comes with wandering around a forest, I can imagine it in a calm visual novel type of game or, in general, adventure story-driven games like Little Missfortune or Arise. Well done!.
Nice soundtrack, "Fight For Food With The Rats Minigame" was a highlight for me, I've never imagined such scenario and the song fits perfectly, well done!
Here are some random thoughts on each of the tracks:
Run (Intro) — The way that builds up the tension gives that sense of accelerating progressively House Seduction — Very seductive, I got spooked by the end though Eternal/Endless Treadmill — Basically the "workout'till you die" theme :D Moment of Calm — Nice piano melody, gives off an aura of "everything is okay... for now" Exorcist Arrives — The beats and the organ, Wow! The House Always Wins — Hahaha after that boss battle song, this makes me feel like I died but I am not aware of it yet... Credits — Very spooky credits .-.
Very cool soundtrack overall, I like the variety on each of the tracks as well as the story that you picked for the game, good job!
My take on this is that the repetitiveness adds up to the feeling of the uncertainty that awaits and slowly builds up to some discovery that changes things but not dramatically, I mean you could have a bombastic display of colours and textures but by leaving it as simple as possible shows how in real life most of the things are repetitive until they aren't but then everything returns to some new normality. I really liked your message of "you cant outrun yourself" for an exploration game, it could mean that maybe the environment is not the problem because it the problem was within you all along.. very psychological. Good job overall!
I like your entry, very dramatic, my interpretation of your piece is someone escaping in the middle of the night, and unexpectedly finds himself in the middle of the forest while hearing the crows cawing and since it never stops maybe they are approaching, that would symbolize perhaps death approaching? In some cultures crows are seen as omens of death so yeah, pretty creepy, understandable to run in that situation :).
On the Run - Cool track, indeed very dramatic. An Unmarred Grove - A very lovely and mysterious track, really evokes that sense of exploring unknown territory. Those Who Give Chase - I felt like a was being chased, well done!, I really like the percussion on this one, it makes it very dramatic. Spiders and Cobwebs - That eerie feeling of having a giant spider above you :).
It really shows that you put a lot of care and effort in each of the pieces, I really like your entry, well done!
The overall atmosphere of the song reminds me of the OST of Little Missfortune. Very cool song, nice job capturing that sense of entering to the unknown!
Thank you! I wish that as well but sometimes it's hard for me to come up with something I really like so most of my compositions never see the light of the day and tend to vanish in the depths of my hard drive 😅
I appreciate your comment, not rude at all, the repetitiveness maybe was me running out of ideas lol, but later I thought that when you are alone in the forest there isn't much happening until something happens so I decided to leave it like that :D
Also I would love to hear your comments on my other tracks, but don't expect them to be like this, most of the time is me experimenting with different things so everything kinda sounds very different...
I see you went for the "at least 30 minutes" submission requirement lol. I can't believe you did this in only two days, you could have stopped at the main theme but no, you went above and beyond, props to you! I loved every single track, the atmosphere, the instrumentation, everything. I only can wonder what would you do with 3 days...Very well done!
I loved the main theme, also every movement has a lot of personality, it would great if you can explore them in more depth in the future, really great work!
