I wrote some specific thoughts for a few favorite tracks, then overall thoughts at the bottom.

Expect the Unexpect - nice time signature stuff. I like how this track develops, particularly the orchestration for distinct sections, as well as the switching between major and minor. It gives me a feeling of watching some kind of dangerous circus act with bated breath.

Magic in Red - I like the chromaticism in the opening riff, then I like the violin along with the tremolo in the middle section. The sound quality and mix maintains consistency across sections so it doesn’t seem out of place.

Incomplete Knowledge - I like this one a lot. The way you wrote the harmonic rhythm/phrasing, especially in the middle portion of the track, makes it feel like some kind of twisted, off-kilter waltz that skips back to the start of each phrase.

Magic in Blue - Sometimes I’m hesitant to use the James Bond line because it can risk sounding too cliche, but I think the scratchy wah guitar you placed here really helps it sound like you made it your own. And I also think that, in this style of game/soundtrack, cliches or references like that are actually common enough to be idiomatic. Great job on the production and mix on this track as well.

Overall - Very difficult to find fault with this. Love the concept and execution. One of the most impressive things is that it maintains such a consistent quality in both composition and production throughout while having so much variation and storytelling. With this level of creativity and output, you deserve a place in the industry or perhaps even your own game studio. I couldn’t find the intended game genre in your descriptions, but I would really love to see this turned into a point-and-click adventure game, similar to the ones by LucasArts or Humongous Entertainment. Magnificent work here!
