Pico-8!! That wave sound is really good if you made it from scratch in Pico-8. It very much has that somber vibe you described and I feel like it's really amplified by the wave acting as like a sort of lilting, slow-attack metronome. good work!

Description
Used Pico-8 to write a chiptune around a couple simple motiffs. The melody feels hopeful and a bit somber, while the harmonies pick up in intensity until just about the end. Also wanted it to be loopable in a few different spots as well as front to back, as I imagine a pretty laid back exploration based game that ramps up the obstacles fairly slowly. My goal was to provide one relatively short song that has multiple loops baked in without repeating too much.
