both the music and art just straight up gave me chills dude HOWWW THIS IS SO GOOD ??!#?!?@#? GOD the combination of the dirty bass and the haunting choir are just so ARGHRGHRHGHH GORGEOUSSSSSS

out of curiosity what did u use for the choir?? they sound SO GOODDD!!!! what an absolutely insane ost

very creative use of the chiptune sound to represent certain aspects of the story!! especially really dig the chromaticism in Un moment d'allégresse and wholesome confusion :)

instant 25 stars no questions asked, THE GOAT micerama strikes again

ok but in all seriousness HOW?!??!?!? the variety in genres and the way you just execute them PERFECTLY. the mixing, choice of instruments, composition, i mean EVERYTHING!!!! my personal favs have to be: 

- a lively catch: nuff said, the guitar RULES, catchy keys, very headbangable

- please don't touch the electronics: holy electro i need to study ur music, super clean mixing, huge fan of the drums

- a really big shadow: this style of music kinda reminds me of taishi if you have heard of him, super cool trance artist i highly recommend hehe :)))) this particular track reminds me of "wasteland of the depths" from him !

- the benthic hour: the breaks and the fading saw synths, stellar composition as always, THE MIXING!!!!! DUDE!!!!!!! the panning beeps are SO GOOD i'm stealing that idea :3 AND THE DROP !!!! 

best 21 mins i've spent in this jam, keep up the absolute pulchritudinous work.

really happy to hear that and ofc!! :D

really appreciate the varied genres throughout the ost especially the jazz on the second track!! i also really dig the guitars + keys! awesome work on both the art and music 😁😁😁

the composition work really drew me in as i listened, especially the staccatic piano on the second track as well as the various number of instruments being used overall! as others have expressed before me, i think having additional reverb would really help expand the space for your tracks to feel more "full"! 

if anything i would actually HIGHLY recommend getting sam pura's "everything bundle" rn as it is currently on a MASSIVE sale as of me writing this, where you can cop an entire high quality plugin bundle for only $3 instead of its original price $473! they have several compressors as well as a reverb plugin (panda rooms) that i think you might find very interesting to look at and play around with! figured i could drop a rec haha 😄😄

fantastic work!!

what a fantastic listen throughout, it's always so cool to see people incorporate culture into their music and this just absolutely blew me away! solid composition and choice of instruments as well! 

the only very minor complaint i have is the audio sometimes crackles/distorts to which i think you could lower the volume for some instruments, or add some eq so they don't clash with other instruments if that makes sense??? but that's super minor compared to the rest of the ost which is absolutely stellar! phenomenal work!!! :DDD

the chord progressions are SO GOODDDD i also just love how each track represents the title SO well. in my opinion your ost def hit it out of the park in terms of storytelling via the tracks alone!! just an incredible job all around 👏👏👏

huge fan of the unconventional use of time sigs here!! rough waters especially goes HARD especially during the breaks! 

solid work!! :D

stunning atmosphere and the use of open space/reverb, each note leaves me lingering on waiting for what to come next. the vocal/choir pads just add so much more to an already beautiful soundscape, and did i mention the bass work ?!?!? incredible job here holy cow!!!!

the experimental quality of this ost hooked me immediately and safe to say i was not disappointed!!! might be the craziest near half an hour i've experienced in this jam so far, especially with bloody red moon ritual when the synths came in. the crazy variety in genres throughout the ost is also another thing, and despite those differences they still manage to tell the story you guys were trying to convey :)

aegir leviathan somehow reminds me of the hotline miami ost not sure if you've heard of it but i love it!!!! super unique entry, hay quáaaa

this ost is just so wonderful;;; HUGE fan of the use of live instruments/vocals especially the erhu!!! beautiful composition across all four tracks, with the last track being my favorite just from how gentle it was

awesome work yall!!!

oh my goodness i would love that!!!! u can reach out to me on discord @carrot113 if you'd like, thank you so much!!! 🥺🥺

i can't believe i didn't find this sooner oh my goodness, this is so beautiful... i just love how each track seems to have its own vibes yet they all come together so masterfully!! the last track honestly caught me off guard from the tonal change but it's SO MUCH COOLER than what i initially expected coming into this ost with the shift back to orchestra after starting off with so much tension

you should be so proud of what you made!!!!! keep cooking 🔥🔥🔥

very solid orchestration!!! though i wish there could be more going on in certain tracks for example stillness' lair; there could be more to be done with the percussion but that's imo! playing around with the articulation of the instruments could also breathe much more life into the ost (tremolo, pizzicato, spiccato)

keep up the great work!!!

this ost is so touhou pilled i love it sm... i think moonlit fields is def one of my favs just from the chord prog alone

awesome work!!!!

everything about this ost is just so beautiful... i feel the minimalist approach just further enhances the concept of this game ost due to how simple yet wholesome every track is 🤗🤗

this was a rollercoaster to go through holy cow dude, and in the BEST way possible! huge fan of how different each track seems to be yet they could all cohesively stick together to make this soundtrack. not to mention the BREAKCORE?!??! oh man and the last track is just haunting... reading through the description while listening was truly an experience and this is instantly going into one of my favorite jam subs, you're INSANE!!!!

serene and honestly a very soothing listening throughout! this is awesome work for your first jam!!!

lovely orchestration throughout especially on the last track!! funny enough i was playing a game while listening and the track fits perfectly well with how intense it was LOL huge fan of the choirs used! fantastic work!!!!

as someone super into crime/murder mysteries and jazz this was right up my alley, and man you did NOT disappoint!!!! such a pleasant listening throughout especially with how smooth the last track is, not to mention the fantastic mixing work + composition!! awesome job on both the wonderful music as well as the artwork :DDD

i love the pads/overall textures of the synths and sfxs throughout!!! will need to relisten to this at night while in bed to capture the full feeling 😄😄

this is just so stunning and beautiful especially the first track, with the cello and piano yet the reverb is used SO well!!! i absolutely adore how the piano just feels as if it's lingering on, and despite the minimalist quality of the track it does not feel dragged on at all which is incredible!!! i love how gentle yet powerful the second track is, it's not an easy thing to compose (in my opinion) INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!

love the composition as well as the lore attached to the soundtrack!!!! always a great experience learning more about other people's cultural myths and the alike which i think adds even more magic to the story itself :D

so so beautiful, especially the serene quality to these tracks... everything from the composition down to the mixing itself is just PHENOMENAL!! "gone, searching, reunited" really does live up to its name from the way the piece is structured, with the disappearance of this lover represented by the somber piano, then that sliver of hope during the search via the soft, suspenseful strings, and finally the reunion being a warm explosion of strings swells and percussion all beautifully wrapping the entire game together. overall just an amazing and honestly healing listen. INCREDIBLE WORK!!

THIS IS GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!! HOLY COW!!!!!!! bruh i don't even know where to begin, but the percussive work?!?!? INCREDIBLE!!!!!! i especially LOVE it in moonlight marina aughhh the panning and everything!!! not to mention the use of non-orchestral instruments like the synths holy moly... overall composition is absolutely incredible, literally no words man AWESOME JOB!!!!!!

stellar mixing work and overall composition!!! especially really dig the progression in the second track, transitioning from calm back into the battle but now the stakes are much higher (at least that's how i interpret the modulation haha) great work all around!!!

short and sweet!! i especially love the use of the static noise fading in and out in "flow" to represent the ocean waves crashing onto the shore! composition for the entire ost is also fantastic! i could really put myself in Coral's shoes throughout the journey :)

really dig the atmosphere/ambience some of the tracks have (science lab, shores of kenda) and the percussion work as well! convenience store bossa was a groovy welcome :)

i can really hear the silent hill inspiration here especially for ghost of the night! also love the calm but eerie atmosphere throughout the ost! awesome work :D

lovely ost!!!! i really enjoyed the percussive work on "drifting" as well as the overall chill vibe consistent throughout most of the soundtrack! the composition for half-light reverie (especially the guitar) felt quite warm, if that makes sense haha

this entire ost was a trip and i LOVE IT!!!!!!!! absolutely adore the mixing work you guys did and the bitcrushed aesthetic in some tracks, really adds to the looming chaos present in the story :) not to mention the ART ?!?!?! scrumptious.

dude this entire ost is INSANE!!!!!! i don't even know where to begin.... i absolutely adore the minimalistic qualities of some tracks (crow's theme, i'm lost, birdsong) yet they convey so much... solid composition all around as well as quality wise!!! would so love this to be put on streaming plats bc i would love having these tracks in my playlist 😄😄incredible work!!!!

every track is so catchy/groovy i can't decide which one is my favorite LOL great work all around!!! i like the story's silliness but also how endearing it is :)

gorgeous ost!!!! despite the difference in vibes between the tracks they surprisingly connect to each other super well! my favorite is especially the boss theme and dad's house, especially with the motif being reused in the boss theme :)

digging the atmospheric quality for all these tracks!! i did not expect the second track to take a turn as it did and i love it!!!! great work :DD

i don't even know where to start bc everything here is STRAIGHT UP BANGING holy hell dude!!!! the first two tracks already got me hooked with the piano comp and insane percussive work, then i get hit with the third track and WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! really really digging that groovy gritty bass and super clean mixing on the drums, and then there's the high pitched leads and the groovy piano chords and the overall sound design AAUGH it's just so peak......

phenomenal work dude!!!!! easily at the top of the list for me 😁😁 💗

loving the way you used the orchestra to convey the deep sea! the first track is very reminiscent of feeling like you're aimlessly wandering around underwater, and i like how the second track kicked this up a notch with the other instruments joining in. it creates this feeling of tension mixed with curiosity as the whale runs (or swims, hah) around and meet new sea creatures to set free. especially love the short oboe sequence in the second track!

lovely submission!! i feel like it could benefit even more if the project had more than two tracks as i got pretty invested by the second track, but i had a great time listening nonetheless :)))

very much enjoyed the groovy synths in this entry! i really liked how the tone picked up on the latter half of "detained", got me feeling pumped!!! also love how you brought back the motif in "truth over tyranny" but now there's a hint of resolve/determination woven within the track :D

this really reminds me of the ace attorney OST and i think i saw you mentioned that somewhere! overall awesome work!!!!

just phenomenal, i adore the composition work here SO MUCH!! the crescending strings as well as the vocal joining in really got me feeling like a bird soaring in the sky. got me envisioning myself passing through the clouds and meeting the sunrise towards the horizon, MAN!!!

all around beautiful work, I LOVE IT !!!!!!!!
