Jesus christ, ya done great on narrative storytelling and vibe

I'm not preparing myself for horror, this is bad for my health, oh god

Thanks, Jacob

You were right about the volume issues. It is REALLY quiet. 

The switch-up in track 8 was super cool and a great way to refresh the listeners attention! The bassline was super intimidating! 

I do wish that the OST kept more time for songs in the style of The Summer Night. It felt like it was one and done in terms of suspense. I can hear the suspense build slightly over the previous tracks, but another dread inducing track or replacing one of the other light ones I think might improve the pacing just a bit.

I also wanted more songs like The Joy because I just liked that ones vibes the best. Higher energy is what I like personally.

Great soundtrack, The First Time and The Joy were my favorites because of their whimsical and fun nature, but I appreciated the storytelling through the rest of the tracks still as well. Awesome job!

This is beautiful!!! I think you did a great job with this OST. You somehow managed to perfectly blur the lines between cute melodies and creeping dread, which I imagine is not easy to do! However, these songs really needed some better mastering. They were really quiet overall and sometimes some parts, like your swells, would be VERY loud. That being said, this issue wasn't present enough to bring down the OST as a whole, it just caused an occasional shock, which I don't think was intended haha. Really great job though, I loved it!

Wow, I loved this. Setting stuff like mix aside, this is just an amazing narrative work. You had a bunch of different tracks in various genres, but they all kinda flowed together somehow, and took me on an emotional roller coaster. Great job with the music and the descriptions to go with it, I thought the simple, yet sincere tone and arrangement worked really well with what you were going for. And the sound design in track 8 was awesome! The ending was also a great touch.  I was moved by the OST, and honestly felt a bit drained after listening to the whole thing because the story and music resonated a lot with me, no other submission has really affected me in the way yours did. Really amazing work, and thanks for sharing this. (And I hope you got some sleep afterwards!)

Reading the descriptions with the music was really intriguing. I liked how the soundtrack kept getting darker overtime. I recognised that tts voice at the 8th track lol.

The range of tone in this project is awesome. From relaxing piano based pieces, uptempo happy grooves, and the incredible eeriee soundscapes, you nailed the storytelling. Loved the bleedthrough of the more haunting vibes into the end of 'The Promise'.  'The Summer Night' was awesome and the vibe switch was unexpected, but very welcomed. Switching to the more somber, mellow feeling of track 9 after the intensity of track 8 was a great touch.

As others have already stated, I do also wish some of the mixing was a bit better. But I hate to critique mixing, as it can be a very tedious task.

My biggest piece of advice for the next jam would be to try and dial back the quantity of tracks for your submission so you can nail the quality of tracks a bit better. Would have loved to see a bit more variety in the groovier aspects of the project, as the repetition of some of the sections can get a bit stale.

Sick submission overall, loved the concept. Keep it up!

The mood shift on track 8 that then is followed by the minecraft esq piano stuff,  just wow... really loved that one, good thing I didn't spoil it by reading the comments 😁

A bit lofi quality wise on some of the tracks, but good stuff nonetheless, good job!

wow the amount of atmosphere and the feelings it convey is astounding. it's eerie and comfortable at the same time.

I really liked the atmosphere you built with track 8! The tension around the opening bit with the text message leading into some unique sound design was so cool, especially after listening to music with a happier feel to it!

With regards to your mixing and mastering, composing with headphones is exactly what you were supposed to do! While you're mixing the tracks, it's important to make sure you watch the levels, which I believe is the little meter at the top center of your screen (I use Ableton personally so my levels are in a different spot), that way you know your songs are mixed well even if the headphone volume might be lower!

Listening through this right now. I am really impressed with the sheer volume of work here. Im sure it took a while to get all this put together and its really nice to see all the individual screenshots because I can pair the instruments and sounds in my head.

The first song was quite a bit different from the rest of the tracks so moving between them pleasantly surprised me. It feels like you really could just import this into an existing game and it would work. You do good work!
