Really glad the OST went for a more unique style after the first song which kept me engaged.
also, in the description, you wrote, "This track represents the players mental state at the beginning of the game, shortly after the death of their father. Sad in the beginning, but with uncertain hope at the end."
but the line ended at the word "sad" for me before going to the next line to finish.
I read it as if you were saying the word Sad as like a punctuation. A silly example being,
"I missed the ice cream truck. Sad."
I just thought it was funny.
