Description
I tried to capture the mix of happiness and dread from being a child near the end of summer vacation, along with being an adolescent on the verge of adulthood.
High school friends about to go there separate ways after college, cementing their bond by exploring an abandoned building. What could go wrong?
I used both Mixcraft and an old programme called Jeskola Buzz Tracker.

Such a variety of tracks! I like that you left room for the listener to interpret the character's different situations plus I like what you've achieved in No More. Cool work!
Definitely not my style of music but It did remind me at times of the sad Majora's Mask music that plays when the moon is really close to falling.
My favorite track was Chains are Something to Break since once it got going, the drums were intriguing and intimidating.
Really like the variety throughout the soundtrack!I love the contrast between the happy songs and the darker foreboding ones. Great work!
My favorite track is No More
I don't really have anything in the way of feedback. Just wanted to say that this was a wonderful soundtrack to a pretty interesting story.
Keep up the good work :)
The soundtrack sounds superb. Very high quality and voluminous sound. The soundtrack feels tense when listening to it from the middle onwards.
Great work here, I love all the unique instrument choices and the creeping dark undertones to many of the tracks! My favourite is probably Bored because of that weird vocal sample. I would have loved to hear more about the game to put the soundtrack into context!
Thanks! If I have the gumption, I'll put up more information. I originally wrote more but the submission didn't work, and when I had to re-fill the form I was in danger of not getting it in during the grace period so I cut a lot out.
Probably the most unique take so far, super interesting, I like the chords in Track 02 Lets have fun great groove, I wish this one was longer, really set a nice mood.
Thanks. I tried to stretch myself a bit and go into genres I don't normally touch, so it really means a lot to hear positive feedback about that track. At one point I was metaphorically tearing my hair out trying to not just make depressing and creepy music.
Several of the tracks are shorter because they're either designed to loop (like a lot of game music does) or they were conceived of as sort of incidental themes.
Wow 10 tracks lol. Every track sounds different with it's own charm which is cool. I also like the title names. The tracks sometimes sound too quiet and uneventful though like in the track "Something Fell?".
Thanks for the feedback. I was trying for a more atmospheric background feeling, but I'll keep that in mind for the future. Normally I'm much louder and noisier. :)
