Clever twist on the theme! SUPER cool sound palate you've got going on, and lovely composition style. I had a great time listening to this by itself, but I could also see it being something that could just "move me" forward in this game without really hearing it, if that makes sense?? Totally motivational music. Lovely work!

How does it fit the theme?
I tried to explore the discomfort of amnesia in this soundtrack. The different steps we may have to try to recover memories.
Comments
The 8bit rendering job is really very good, and sounds incredibly rich, especially with its many different elements that play on many areas of the sound spectrum. Rhythmically, it's very successful. The pitch glissandi are particularly effective, and the musical timbres remarkably chosen so that, despite the great variety of instruments, everything always sounds very clear and dynamic. I particularly like the ruptures which bring a more considerable in the recovery of the melodies which, for their part, are particularly well written. Particularly for their syncopes which catalyzes energy. An OST which progresses without ever repeating itself, and which continues its coherent speech for more than 8 minutes (8 minutes! O_o) without ever bore. A lot of work for an irreproachable result, very pleasant to listen to, and which conveys a nostalgic impact because of these typical sounds of the past.
had a very nice old computer game feeling to me. could fit into a lot of old console games or in a Japanese manga tv series. very lovely.
This is great! I feel like I could listen for hours.
Really great updated chiptune sounds while remaining true to the lo-fi restrictions/inspiration. Well done, thanks for sharing!
Really enjoyed this!! It's taken me some time to get to it since I've been looking at all the ones with cover art, SoundCloud/youtube links, and high Karma. I really think you should put your music online! It's really good and it's a shame to see so many composers in this jam refrain from putting their work out there! I think your OST was fantastic and deserves to be showcased for all to hear :D Great work <3
I LOVE THISS!! This piece made me groove so hard xD
The mixture between the simple synths, 4 on the floor beat, clean bass and delays makes my ears melt. That was fantastic. I would 100% play this game... even favorite this track on my Spotify account if there was an upload there haha
There's just one thing that I didn't really get, and that is how this style should correlate to the amnesia theme. Don't get me wrong, I loved this idea and felt that was very creative. But I wouldn't think about amnesia listening to this. If the imaginary game is really fast paced or something, then okay, I would think that it fits.
Nonetheless, amazing work. This is one of my favorite submissions so far <3
I love how this soundtrack builds and evolves, I really felt the journey with this one. It really works as one long track as well, I couldn't tell you where one track ends and another begins, fantastic work!
There's some awesome 8-Bit texture In amnesia, I love the sweeping drone too. The stabby chords in Dawn are also my jam. Tracks transition and tie together nicely. Great Job!
Awesome sound! Those synths are great. I was left wanting more temporal dynamics but loved the arrangement.
