The Cold Realm Within is a good theme for discovering a new world! (Or its presentation in the main menu. In any case, it's cool)

Alone - I'm alone... I am alone in this world... I'm nobody... help... This violin wants to tell me something... But what does she want to say? Am I not alone?

Snow Buried Village is an ancient village. This track is full of carelessness and comfort! I feel like it's safe and very interesting here! Oh, what's in the well?

Footprints in the Drifts - I found a coin in the well... Heh) And now it's time to go higher and higher! Go ahead! To the mountains!

 Shades on the Trail - BATTLE! I AM READY TO DESTROY ANYONE WHO STANDS IN THE WAY OF MY ASCENTS!

Failure - R.I.P.

To Claim Oneself - God... why do I so rarely see an organ in this jam? Seriously, it was used by a very small number of composers... Oh, right... IT'S A GREAT TRACK. Professional orchestration that perfectly conveys the emotions of the final battle! I feel the opposition! I feel the dynamics and menace of the environment. The high-pitched chorus seems to be saying to me, "This is the highest bet you can place. Good luck, hero."..

End of Self Discovery - The end. A large-scale, large, great, slightly happy ending.

Overall, you've made one of the most amazing soundtracks of this jam! You have turned out to be incredibly beautiful and exciting! Thank you for an interesting adventure and an unforgettable mountain climb in this jam!

P.S. A very beautiful story! I liked it!

I love how much this submission feels like it could be a legitimate OST. Also the picture lowkey goes so well with communicating the intention and atmosphere? The range of pieces is also great - like the action of Shades on the Trail vs the casualness of Snow Buried Village. Great job!

To Claim Oneself was super intence, I really enjoyed it.

Brilliant orchestration! Waves of frigid winter hit me in gradual succession. Some wind effects could have went a long way, but it still invokes the same feeling. Nice work!

This was awesome!! I love how consistent your sound palette was throughout the soundtrack, it really made the listening experience much more immersive as I imagined being in the cold, snowy world you described. Also love how you made a game over track! Great job!!

Great to hear your soundtrack!! It works really well!! I loved how you captured the idea of snow!! It sounded amazing!!

Very cold and wintery music, full of emotion.

Some nice composition with good use of the orchestra & instruments. Very nicely mixed too. Especially like the use of strings & mallet instruments.

You nailed the vibes of a cold and winter track very vividly in the soundtrack, I like how well you use the instrumentation to portray emotion of each track, like the feeling of solitude and loneliness on the "Alone" track. you managed to balance the whimsical nature and the emotional sadness throughout the soundtrack

Now I know that the music style is way different in the songs but the narrative description has a similar plot to the game Celeste; from the fact that the protagonist wants to go to the frigid mountain for self discovery, to the fact that the main antagonist was actually a manifestation of the main protagonist's insecurities, literally fighting yourself. you should try looking that up and have a try, very good game.

I like the epic vibes. And quality of soundtrack! Also the cover art is really cool, will look up more Theo van Hoytema.

Great soundtracks!

Some of them make you think of Snowdin from Undertale, each work is clearly in the mood stated in the title.

I only wish there was a more detailed description of the game for a detailed immersion in the atmosphere.

Anyway, great job!

I heard various different mallet instruments throughout so I was happy!

you captured the snowy vibe so well!!! end of self discovery was my fav track, well done

The Cold Realm Within: Immediately got Secret of Mana vibes. Pretty. 

Alone: Great percussion! Gives me a desolate overworld kind of vibe.

Snow Buried Village: Nailed the cold village vibe. Still feeling like Secret of Mana which is a great thing!

Footprints in the Drifts: I'm amazed how well your tracks match the described setting. More lovely percussion!

Shades on the Trail: Some tension enters the OST. Great battle theme that gives me war vibes.

Failure: Effective game over theme! Tragic though not overly so, a different take from the average game over theme.

To Claim Oneself: Evil organ. The rhythm here is crazy cool. This to me perfectly matches the scene of the MC essentially facing off against their self, grand and tragic.

End of Self Discovery: Love this sort of bittersweet credits theme. Very effective!

Great work! 

Very solid entry. It's very well composed. 

pretty cool stuff here! within the ost itself it feels like there's a well structured world being built and it's very hard to make that feeling within just music alone, so great job!

Epic AND whimsical, well done!

This was such a journey! I felt like I was back on the PS1 playing through something like Legend of Dragoon. The mixes were nice and spacious, and the simple orchestration was used extremely well. Shades in the Trail was for sure the standout for me!

You've built a really charming world! Your themes are well constructed and the overall ambiances are great! Nice submission :D

Your melodies are so full of charm, amazing work!

This was a really incredible submission! All of the tracks are cohesive in telling the story you've presented. I can imagine myself playing this game from the music alone.
