There's a lot of sunshine and hopefulness in many submissions due to the picture this jam chose as theme, but you went full retro dark fantasy. I love your take on the theme, it still fits and is oozing with character. I don't think I played games with this type of soundtrack before, but it does remind me of classic cinema.
Composition is also well done despite you admitting to not having much music theory knowledge, think you have a very good intuitive sense of music. I hear your warning about the mix but it sounds kinda cool despite being a little muddy, it feels like the mix is struggling to contain the overwhelming darkness. If you told me this was a finished product I would believe it. Great work, one of the most memorable entries this jam.
