Oh man, first impressions right away - your work on the choir is intoxicating! The slow creeping strings with the slight tremolo and the sharp cutaway at 2 minutes in is great. The main menu theme and town theme continue the trend and you fill up more of that space with varieties of string and a soft piano which slots nicely into the frequencies between the other instruments. It is delightfully sincere with how dreary it is! The battle theme also conveys this but, if I have one critique, there's some heavy sub usage for the drums and the right-pitched snare or percussive element (maybe a pizzicato string?) sounds off to me. Maybe it's the extra reverb? I'm not sure, but besides that this is just divine and well executed. Great job!

I think the composing and instrument choice on this piece is spot on! There are so many interesting melodic ideas in here, and the way you utilize the percussion and bells reminds me (strangely enough) of the English dub soundtrack of Dragonball Z!? This track would fit right in there! You nailed the ability to categorize small ideas and nuances of a story, but told in audio format. My only criticisms of it are that I wish sound mixing/mastering was improved, because the concepts in here are great!

Fantastic work, especially condensed into a single track. Great job!!!

Absolutely fantastic mixing on all three of theses - I started off with Mourning Rain and my ears perked up immediately at the slow transition from rain into growling, rumbly basses. The piano drifts and falls into the track and the ambience is wonderful! Worn Hand of Death has wonderfully low sub that my headphones can barely pick up, but oh man it hits just right. Again, the sound design and effects are done excellently. The heartbeat percussion beating oddly between measures is a great way to display weariness and exhaustion. Then, Silent Watcher has this delightful panning trill and tremolo of some sort of strung instrument, and the whispers are a nice touch.

Blown away dude, honestly. Great job!!!

The compositions on your themes are really interesting - I enjoy how they seem to pull themselves from a chaotic background and form something coherent, but only for a few moments before sinking back into the void. Very appropriate for the game you thought up and the sound design feels sparkly in a very dark and mysterious way. The True God Boss theme sounds like its out of Pokemon Battle Revolution with the reverb-heavy / panned drums and I am a big sucker for that sort of drum mixing. Great job!!!

Making this on the PO-20 was based as hell - the themes are spooky and vintage sounding even with the limited hardware and you even have a bit of a leitmotif going between the death themes and the main theme. Great job and rad hardware!
