Explain your hypothetical game concept & how you interpreted the theme!
Rougelike Survival Horror

A survival horror rouge-like game set in a twisted manor that is bent on keeping anyone inside it from leaving. The player explores the shifting halls of the manor in search for the truth of his origin, a past untold.

The player along another character search for the hidden truth of their origins, to prevent their horrid pasts from becoming their futures.

What genre is your soundtrack?
Orchestral

How did you incorporate quartal harmony into your hypothetical soundtrack?
I dunno, I tried to learn and understand it but I have no clue what quartal harmony is or how to use it. :P

Anything else you'd like to add?
I am a newbie to composing, having only made, like 6 tracks before, so that's why the songs are bad.

If you really have only made a couple tracks before this, then this is honestly really impressive! Very spooky, fits the theme you described perfectly. I think these could all be a bit longer/more developed but what you put together sounds great!

Developer

Thank you! And yeah some are a bit short for sure, thanks for the feedback.

This score is great, I have a huge soft spot for orchestral composing and your use of voicings and exchanges is brilliant. Really suits the survival horror genre and creates great tension and atmosphere. Definitely does not sound like your a newbie at all, keep it up!

Developer

Well thank you! I am feeling a bit more confident now lol

not bad, good. They are well arranged, and simple enough to compliment visuals but the timbre are interesting enough to grab my attention. This is very good, feels like i am watching a movie. This would really reminds me of Batman the animated series from the 90s. 

Each track seems related as well,  didn't even realize it was more then one song.

Well done across the board. Sounds like you came from the film industry with these productions.

Haha thanks! Who knows maybe I will get to compose a movie soundtrack one day.

These things sometimes seem more complicated than they actually are when applied. 

For example, I completely strayed from the topic because I used intervals of fourths instead of using chords formed with fourths, but I had fun in the process, so it's okay.

Keep up the good work!

Thank you! I am sure I will improve with each track I make going forward :)
