Description
I really liked the theme for this jam. When I read "Dark Forest", I imagined tall trees, a gloomy atmosphere, and a sense of horror. It also reminded me of that Netflix series Dark, with its mysterious forest scenes, and of games like Silent Hill or Resident Evil. I called my piece "Looming Crisis" because it captures that feeling of being lost in a dark forest — you can’t see it, you can’t hear it clearly, but you feel that something is near…

Nice disciplined track that is brightly produced, i like how the intensity picks in the middle like they've got some issue to resolve then they seem to be safe again.
Most happy with it. Gave you an itch follow, and also liked/reposted the track on SoundCloud and stuck it in some playlists.
If you like the thing(s) on my page(s), consider doing the same.
Cheers!

I disagree with both the posters below. Forest is such a broad topic. I can see large looming trees cording in on the protagonist. Love the drop at around the 1 minute mark. Guitar makes it feel very 80s. Great job.
thank you, i enjoyed creating that guitar
As Barbedor said, it feels like a thriller piece to me. It could work for a forest setting just fine, but it doesn't inherently "say" dark forest to me. If I go with the head canon it sounds climactic, like you've been lost and suffering in the forest for so long and you're finally reaching the end of the ordeal, the light on the horizon piercing through the dense trees and mist... but it isn't necessarily the happy ending you hoped for. It has a kind of hopeful yet melancholic feel... you "won" but you lost things along the way.
Nice work, I enjoyed it ✌️
I like the atmosphere. However, if you express the tension well, it doesn't specifically sound like a “forest” to me. (It's even a little melancholic at times.)
It would work very well in a thriller, during the sequence showing the protagonist gathering clues ^^'.
thank you!
