Explain your hypothetical game concept & how you interpreted the theme!
Rewind Spy is a detective/thriller game inspired by games such as those in the Arkham and Fallout franchises. It is set in a post-apocalyptic world where the last remaining humans are living in space. You must use a time travel device, the Rewind Watch, to go back in time and solve puzzles to prevent nuclear war from ever having occurred.

We interpreted the theme as pertaining to time travel.

What genre is your soundtrack?
Electronic

How did you incorporate quartal harmony into your hypothetical soundtrack?
The piece that most heavily incorporates quartal harmony is "The Watch," featuring a celeste arpeggiating quartal chords.

We also did out best to incorporate quartal intervals in our other pieces. Our main motif throughout the soundtrack comprises of a minor 7th, for example.

This soundtrack is so realistic! As someone who is still mora familiar with producing tracks that have more of a "song-y" structure and feel, it's very cool observing the stylistic differences between yours and our entries! I also enjoyed listening for differences in both of your production styles. The impression is that of a really strong teamup! I'm excited to hear what comes out of any future collaborations :^]

very thematic. the metronome and watch ticking fit the theme nicely. the recurring motif is satisfying, good stuff!

Game concept and execution are on point and good selection of tracks and body of work that sounds awesome

I've struggled to get the musescore horns to sound right, and I think you've succeeded in getting a really good sound out of them here. Great concept for a game, and well-written and produced music!

Really fantastic work as far as having a consistent vibe/theme throughout - specifically the ticking noises and reversed sounds throughout really tap into the "time" theme and work with the described concept perfectly. Literally the only feedback I can think of is that I think the piano in "Self Sacrifice" is a little bright/could maybe use some resonance reduction.

I thought it perfectly matched what was described as a hypothetical game

The recording and mixing quality is also very good.
