Message from the artist:
To The End is a jazz-filled soundtrack for a roguelike about brain damage. I had a lot of fun composing it - I hope you all enjoy!

a journey to remember.

How does it fit the theme?
I took the prompt incredibly literally and just, flipped it on its head by making a soundtrack about memory loss.

A very classy and elegant soundtrack. The muted trumpet in Agnosia is so smooth and AAASRWRARSRDH I LOVE IT! I like a lot the dark and mellow tone in general, but i still sounds so fun to listen. I don't have any complains, your work is SOO GOOD!

A healthy amount of variety within each song. I get a if Chrono Triggers soundtrack was a more jazzy vibe from some of the tracks. Quality work !

That was quite the musical trip you took us on there. Not usually a fan of jazz, but I actually enjoyed this. Good work dude!

Huge fan of muted trumpets, an underrated timbre. The progression into more fractured percussion and wobbly sounds is appropriate for your theme. Nicely done!

I love this soundtrack. It's EXTREMELY atmospheric. I would love to hear this when I'm on a date somewhere haha. Jazzy vibe and synths are incredible. Also your imaginary game concept is cool. Good job, really well done! :)

A fine jazz OST, with professional rendering quality. Truly exhilarating. Such an atmosphere could suit so many different games, and bring them a monstrous force through these singular melodies and rhythms. If the author is thinking of a roguelike, I personally would have seen a Blacksad/GrimFandango-type private detective adventure game. The solos are beautiful, the tracks have despite their differences an expressive force and a very pleasant stylistic unity. On its own, this OST offers a journey memorable, the listener getting lost in his own thoughts covered with an effect of old films. Excellent work.

very cool work, deja vu is my favourite track

This OST is soooooo well produced. Your drums sound too good!! It's something a lot of people struggle with (me). I melted into my seat listening to Aphasia. Without a doubt my favorite in this OST. Love these tracks so much! Awesome work!! <3

Love the mellow jazz vibes, and the lofi aesthetic. Also this is an impressive amount of tracks! Nice job.

Hi, I found a tinge of those lofi-esque noise cackles particularly fitting with the theme you chose, that of memory loss, plus the tone is very retro and noir-ish, with those james bond esque wind instrumentation, which is always a plus in my book. Would love to see how it fits with a roguelike, I can quite imagine the amnesiac lead character donning a trench-coat, retreading his steps (multiple times) to that fateful where he got his head smacked into oblivion.
