Menu: The clock effects are nice and lead into the high sparkling synth well. The pad gives a nice spacey atmosphere that kind of sounds like it may represent time passing by. I like the synth melody that is passing from ear to ear with nice panning. The piano also has a very sweet quality to it which I really like.

Save File Select: This track has some mystery behind it with the chord progression choices and the arpeggiating synth part. The syncopated beat gives this a jazzy flare that would fit a detective game.

The Center of Time: I like the idea of a central time hub and works well for game mechanics too. Very dreamlike and spacey vibe! The clock ticking speeding up at the end makes me think that is the loading sound once you have selected when you would like to go.

Time Traveling: This is a nice groovy track that I imagine accompanies warping visual effects and bright colors while you are being whisked away to whenever. I like how chill this theme is - I would probably time travel extra in the game just to jam to this track.

Clash: The ticking clock is faster! Must be time for some combat! I like how you leave some space in this track for “thinking time” which is nice because RPG battles are often turn-based and have some time to think.

The Culprit: This is a really cool theme for the bad guy. There is a whole lot of mystery surrounding this person! This track evokes vibes of dark curiosity. I also like in the second section where all the chords hit just after the downbeat which may symbolize that we are often just one step behind him throughout the game.

A Fateful Duel: I like that you brought back the Culprit theme and revised it for this track, which only makes sense. The sense of dark curiosity is still there and now it’s just higher energy for the battle we have been waiting for! The drums, especially the fills are really great in this track. I also really like the electric guitar when it comes in. My favorite moment of the track is at 3:05 with the electric guitar and the high plucky sounds! This is a long loop and is really well-made! You should definitely be proud of this!

Overall: This is a fun game with a very well-executed story-line told through the music. It feels very complete and could be ready for a real game now! Great work and thank you for sharing!

Menu: While the ticking clock has been used by maaany of the composers here (me included, in nearly every track...) I like how yours sounds ripped right off an SNES... this is a very cool opening track, and the blend of 16-bit sounding synths with piano, bass, guitar, etc. is very nice!

Save File Select: smart use of the clock here! You've taken the same ticking rhythm and utilized it in a completely different vibe. This track is fantastic-- pure retro vibes here. There's just something about File Select music. It has a certain vibe... teetering the line between chill elevator music and brace-yourself-for-adventure-music. You nailed it.

The Center of Time: very cool effect here with the fading synths-- and the clock effect at the end, leading into the next track? Spot-on.

Time Travelling: it's super smart to repurpose existing material in a new light, and that's just what you've done with the Center of Time chord progression! Now it's upbeat. It was also smart to add a little tag: the same chords repeating again and again can get boring to the ear, so having some new chords after 3 repeats was a good way to keep the music fresh.

Clash: quintessential retro battle music goodness. I can see that you have a good ability to keep the music fresh: while chords do repeat a lot in each given section, you change them enough that things don't get too repetitive.

The Culprit: the way the beat is not quite aligned with the ticking of the clock is so clever! Conveying character through music can be a challenge, and through the little off-beat rhythm, we learn that this culprit doesn't quite obey the rules.

Fateful Duel: another solid track! The synth runs at 1:10 are my favorite bit.

In all, this soundtrack is wonderfully cohesive, with plenty of diverse sounds, and an almost post-retro feel with the synths + traditional instrument combo. Are any of these instruments played live? The guitar sounds like it could be.

Fantastic work, and keep writing!

Top tracks for me were 4, 5, 7 - I love the idea of an RPG with aggressively upbeat power pop playing throughout. I thought of those three, track 4 made me the most interested to check out the game. Track 7 was the most sonically varied but it also read very SMT/Persona, and I'm not the biggest fan of those games so that may have put me off a bit. Still, I'm about halfway through my listen (80 soundtracks) and so far I haven't heard anyone else dipping their toes into this genre, so I appreciate you bringing that flavor in.

THE PRODUCTION QUALITY OF THIS IS SO HIGH??? literally sounds professional, everything is so clean!!!

I really like the clock sound you selected, the texture of it plays really well with the open, atmospheric feel of the soundtrack.  Time Traveling is such a bop, the bass makes it really bouncy and groovy!  The way you write drums is also awesome

Fateful Duel really is awesome.  I love the high chip/synth sounds that give it a floaty, interdimensional feel.  1:43, where the ticking was allowed a "solo" literally gave me chills
