Absolutely killer sound design! This feels like it's on the cusp of becoming hardcore EDM but it ebbs and flows back in on itself in such an ethereal way - great work!!!

Oooooh, this has "the vibe" dude. I don't have much to add other than to pile on to what others said here - the drumbeat and instrument selection is great!

Even through a set of self-imposed constraints the music still turned out fantastic! It really does capture that feel of Chrono Trigger and Boards of Canada for me, wonderful job!

Every time I've seen a MNTRA instrument I'm blown away by what you can do with it! This is such a musical experience, don't really have any other word to describe how I'd feel about it. Superb!

I'm so happy I got to see this on the livestream and listen to everyone's reactions to your story of how you made this, absolutely fantastic work!!!

This mix is so good, there's fantastic peak control and you're not loosing those mids and highs that "feel" like they're right up against my ear! Definitely something I am going to reference from now on doing my mixes, great work!

ohhhh man, the sound design is sooooooo fucking good here, so many great little details! This must've been gone over with a fine toothed comb during your mixing and mastering steps, helluva job!

very chill and soothing sound textures! good job! :)

Really dig the bass pads you used in your last two tracks, gives me that Blade Runner feeling, the acid stuff in your third track goes hard too (and then we get into some outrun? sweet!)

hoooly moly my dude, as someone who struggles with acoustics for guitars I really dig how guitar-heavy the themes are! Intros to both are splendid and give me that late-night 90's town feel, great work!

Man, the organ was a great instrument of choice! Good pick for the vibe of the theme!

I do have a youtube channel! I've been thinking of doing audiovisual content for a while, like book reads or creepypasta/horror stuff - happy to hear you'd be interested in that too! :)

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!
