Great work, especially the sound design. I don't have a lot of feedback, I just love it.

Description
***
And so... We meet again, my friend.
Let's face it, you've been here a long time. No friends, no food, no fresh air, no freedom. What's left for you? Sing? Listen to tunes behind concrete walls and all-metal bars?
Admit it: you're dead. And if you're not dead yet, be prepared to lead yourself to your own doom.
Good luck, suicide bomber.

What's the point of this game? Well, you're a teenager trapped inside a creepy prison. You need to get out of this creepy place, while trying not to die because of the shadow monsters, and also you need to keep your sanity on the pieces of “light”, so that you do not open your veins....
***
Voise - Intro. You can hear the singing of your hero, who doesn't know what to do - sing, pray, cry or kill himself.
Glass Lake - The first location. The most calm, but also quite cruel. There are small shards of glass scattered all over the lake shore, which you pierce your feet on, you - bleed. That's just the beginning.
Bonus Leves Theme - Bonus Level Theme. Throughout the game we encounter “crows” that we can inhabit and complete a “bonus task” in the territories of miniature factories, which you can only enter by being a crow. At the end of each level, your crow is destroyed by circular saws and some of the crow meat goes to you. Enjoy!
Falling Forest - A location where you are almost at the exit... In front of you is a magical forest that is constantly trying to fall into the abyss. You jump on platforms, on branches, on trees... Just try not to fall into the abyss, okay? Because you'll be dismembered into little pieces.
Prison Home - The last step is to go through the prison, where there are people like you... I think you will understand how the game ends. So just enjoy the last few minutes of your life. I hope you had a terrible one.

What about the soundtrack in general? I focused on creating a soundtrack that sounds repetitive, repetitive, has a little Lo-fi element in its structure, but as loud, violent and unpleasant as possible... I also chose an industrial sound (because I love this genre, heh), so you can hear a lot of different synthesizers, distorted instruments, etc. What kind of sound did I want to achieve? The answer is anyone!
***
What about the technical part? Well, I'll be honest - this whole soundtrack exists solely because I was just experimenting with percussion, drums and their processing (no kidding - all the drum parts here are distorted with modular synthesizers).
I apologize very much for the bad mix... the reason - I was really sick while I was working on this jam... VERY sick. I could barely sit at my computer, heh))
***
What can I say in the end? I'm kinda happy with this post, kinda not... Either way - listen up!

Theme

How does it fit the theme?
Everything that happens during this soundtrack is a wander through the strange sections of a certain “prison” from which our heroine wants to escape...
But she can't.
The overall mood of the cover led me to the idea of a mixture of industrial, a little orchestration, a bit of a happy-sad sound and some semblance of “aggressive-undustrial Lo-fi”
