Description
These track mostly go for a darker post-rock theme, and would probably fit well in a horror-survival game. The first track is mostly based on the image, and the second is meant to represent a sort of trial or punishment after the "runaway" has been caught by the people they are running from. I composed the music mostly with custom synths and plugins and a bit of guitar with Logic Pro.

I’m hearing a lot of Nausicaa and the Valley of the Wind in the first track’s synthy organ. Very unsettling overall. Good work.
Edit to add: I’d actually really like to hear this or a development of it as the background to an audiobook or story. The Lovecraft Sextet on Bandcamp recently did something like this, called In Memoriam. I think it’s free if you want to check it out.
My favorite is the second and third part of the track. I quite like the tribal drums with the wind-like sound. Also really like that repeating tambourine/shaker-like sound that you end with. I also really liked it when you sped it up. It definitely gave a good feeling of conflict.
Good work!
Original take, the trial... nice build up I was waiting for so long until you changed the pace, I was so happy you finally did. nice job.
Dark and menacing tracks - I like how he first built into second. I'm not sure I'm brave enough to play this game though, it would given me nightmares I am sure!
Neat ambience. That trial by combat track is savage!
Relief/the trial of the vagrant are very intriguing tracks. A well crafted atmosphere, unsettling and horrific. The audio mixing and mastering makes the whole very convincing!
I really liked the trial part, with its latent tension buildling until the end of judgement at the end. Awesome!
Thanks for this submission :D
This sounds amazing, the athmosphere is very good.
Nice! The 2nd part really sounds menacing and I like it!
