Description
2 tracks using only the acoustic guitar. The image and title made me think of a cozy, warm feeling, and I wanted to reflect that in a less than perfect sound. I used several tape processor to add warmth and pitch wobble to the sound.

I only spent 1 day on recording and mixing, I wanted to do more track but I'm quite happy with the result. Enjoy !

Really neat soundtrack!! As a guitarist myself, I couldn't help but feel very overjoyed to hear an acoustic only take! I do feel like I didn't get a good idea for what your game actually wanted to be, which is fairly important for a game OST jam, but also music can be very malleable so it's hard to really criticize you for it either. Great job, I absolutely loved it!

Really unique in the way you only used a guitar, especially the long drones, almost sound like violins? Really cool work.

guitar is nicely layered and gives a very calming vibe. Musical highlights for me are the more processed guitars in both tracks coming in adds nice depth

Great acoustic songs. Reminded me a bit of bands like Mazzy Star and games like Stardew Valley at the same time. The wobbly electric guitar in the second song was a nice touch.
That was really pleasant to listen to!

Absolutely lovely guitar work! The warmth really comes through, and I like the subtle tape effects giving it a cozy, imperfect charm. Both tracks fit the summer night vibe perfectly and feel really inviting to listen to. Great work! :)

The guitar feels nice and warm like a summer night which is great for the theming.

good work!

Love the guitar work. The recording is really clean. Was pleasantly surprised the the effects direction too!

Nice guitar work here. The processing is pretty thick on the second track, in a way I would not have normally expected on an acoustic guitar sound. It was an interesting touch and a nice change of pace. Both tracks pass the vibe check, nice job!

The vibe is clearly there, very good job with those guitars :D just missing a bit more of clear narrative but it feels like a summer night :)

Awesome vibes, I love all the guitar parts working together, it feels so damn warm. The synth parts feed nicely into the vibe although simetimes a bit repetative. I really like it overall and can imagine myself listening to it so sometimes.
