Description
When i saw the theme, i thought, if it was a game, it would be about someone who is trying to run away from their problems, and then just making them worse.

I used garageband ios to make the tracks.
Most songs consist of piano and bass, and occasionally some drums.

Here is what all of the tracks represent.
1. a new journey: the "new journey" is you trying to push away all the negative stuff into the back of your brain so you can focus on being happy.

2.I think i have gone way too far: you think you can stop this on your own. you don't need help. you can fix this all by yourself. "sure you can."

3.Forgotten: your attempt to block out your anger and sadness failed severely, and your "happiness" is just your self-hatred hidden behind a smile. you are no longer happy. you had "forgotten" what that meant a long time ago, you just didnt want to admit it.
4.do you regret anything: Maybe you could get help and change yourself for the better, but you would much rather continue pretending. you are used to it. i's routine, i guess. i mean, you are in it too deep now.
5. june:" im fine. i am fine, really... "

Theme:

Runaway
Picture theme

How does it fit the theme?
running away from emotions that i realized too late i shouldn't have

Love the darkness in "do you regret anything".  Nice and minimal OST.

Nice job, I like how each track is distinct, but they each still sound like your tracks. Good work!

Fun sound. My favourites are "i think I have gone a bit too far" and June.

June is really a killer track. Beautiful pads. Well fitting bass and percussion to go with it, while "I think I have gone too far" has a really nice guitar melody. Great job.

I really enjoy the simplicity and chill nature of 'a new journey' and 'i think i have gone a bit too far'; 'forgotten' is eerie and chill, I really dig the use of Garageband here to make really quality music.

'do you regret anything' - I can visualize the game unfolding, and I appreciate the vibe here. Along with 'june', I can really feel this psychedelic breakdown that reminds me of the Gorillaz in style, specifically the album 'The Fall', which was written only using IPad apps haha ! 

I enjoyed the ride. <3

This honestly might be one of my favorite soundtracks thus far; the paper mario-esque vibe in the first two tracks that gradually shifts into something much more poignant and eerie is very cool on its own but pairs really well with the theme and lore (not to mention that this was done on garageband for iOS, which itself is a monumental feat)

Making this on garageband iOS... i'll give it to you, I would never do that XD. The quality is surprisingly good, compositions and arrangement got some work to do but its pretty decent.

Okay, now that I'm getting around to listening to this, props to you for making this whole thing on Garageband iOS!? The software is super limiting but, I am excited to see what you make with it.

Track 1: right off the bat, really cool chords and great choice of sounds! Love this short but sweet track.

Track 2: the chords in this track are really interesting, props to you for doing some unconventional harmony! Very beautiful and washy track, great job.

Track 3: great tone shift here.

Track 4: this track is a lot more meaningful given the context of the story... I'm listening to it in a different way

Track 5: this is a standout track for sure-- really amazing sound here, it's a deeply melancholy and also somewhat eerie track. That low bass gets the point across.

Definitely a great job! I'm super impressed with what you created despite the limitations. You kept each track short and sweet, and nothing felt overly repetitive or drawn out. Keep writing!

Well, the game description got me right from the gates - what an inspired take on the theme by turning it 'inwards'. The tracks themselves are definitely evocative of different stages of the person's suggested journey. I particularly liked 'I Think I Have Gone A Bit Too Far'.
