I like the minimalistic take on the 1st track! I can see this working well with sound effects and diegetic sounds. The pentatonic harmony is a classic, and it works well with the vibe you are going for. The aggressive string bass/cello sliding in the 2nd track is pretty awesome. The way it layers with the hi-hat drums and electric guitar background perfectly illustrates the feeling of danger. I think you could have had more moving harmonic lines in the 1st track to bring more energy to the main theme. Other than that, solid job!

Description
The songs are fully instrumental, enviromental, experimental thing, I wouldn't know how to tag it exactly.
I used as an inspiration the art made from an good friend of mine, is it a very psicodelical, kind of creepy concept but I felt it like an distorted dream that will go from a very calm ambience to a chase situation in seconds . I imagined this game as a 2D platformer, stealth, strategy game, very similar to Rain World or Planet of Lana.
Used FL Studio to compose everything
1st Song [L0st W0rld]
I imagined Lost world as an introduction of this onirical place. It can work as a Main theme or start theme
Where all you can see is this little colorful rabbits in a enormous field
For this song I used as a inspiration Maid in Abyss and Abzu soundtracks. With some kind of Asian culture's intrument because for me it helps to bring this Beyond this world/supernaturally vibe to the ambience. User mainly Musio instruments for this.
2nd song Run Little Rabbit
This one is for the tense part, where everything becomes menacing, this enormous hands come out of nowhere to catch the Rabbits that are around you and then you, It becomes quickly ina chase/ Stealth scenario, where you need to RUN and hide from this creepy entities.
For this one I took inspiration from Control and A Plague Tale soundtracks since this two are to me the ones that represent this concept perfectly fine. For this one I used mostly Musio's Library too and Kontakt Electric Storm guitar
It was a very interesting concept and I wanted to do more songs for this but it was a very busy week, anyway hope you like it as much as I did composing it!
Theme
Songs of a Forgotten World
How does it fit the theme?
I though of a Forgotten World,'s concept as a psicodelical way and more like a Liminal space. Thinking of each mind as a whole world if we abandon some parts of ourselves those parts would go to a place like this. The protagonist somehow got stuck on their own dreams and entered this weird world. Now they need to find how to get out
