This absolutely rocks and I love it, although it is a bit difficult imagining this as a end credits theme. It definitely fits in a steampunk AA game, but it feels more akin to a reveal in the story or a transitional song. The piece is very cohesive and flows well, it's very well done in that regard. The sound design and overall soundscape of this just feels so good too, you did a really good job making this feel immersive to your world.

Description
This is a piece of music for a steampunk action adventure game. The game is about a character that must prevent time's speed from increasing. It involves going through levels of a steam-powered wheel of time.
Because the theme was steampunk, I went with a breakbeat rhythm where I tried to mimic the vibe of machinery in action. The track starts nostalgic with a dark brass sound and a noise rhythm that sounds like a steam engine running. This sound later evolves into a riser, used in two stages where the energy ramps up. There's also another noise layer that sounds a bit like steam escaping from valves. More info is on the project's page.
I went for precision level 4 for this entry.
