At first, I thought that cricket sound in the first track was actually my cat purring in the next room lol

Love the smooth synth in "Stroll" and the distorted ending leading into shit-getting-real™ as the soundtrack progresses. The shift in energy in "RUN" is great! I like how you blended the synth and the flute sound and made a sort of echoing trail with the synth. 

The beginning of "Clearing" I'm assuming you were trying to put that distortion in the beginning as a bit of a transition from the immediate danger. I don't think it quite hits the mark, just sounds a little weird to me. Maybe having a tiny bit of the wub-wub sound at the end of "RUN" playing and fading out in the beginning of this track would help deliver that effect? I know it sounds ~some kind of way~ using my own music as an example 😬, but I actually made a lot of really cool track to track transitions in my own submission this year that I was really proud of. Taking elements of the previous track (or the next track) and blending them into the first or last few seconds of the next track is one of the things that I did to make them more pronounced. 

For "Northern Lights" - the pick-up here is really sudden and a little unexpected compared to the last track. I think this one could have benefited a lot from more of a build-up and crescendo in the beginning of the track to really deliver the "big finish." This track is huge and grandiose and powerful, but I feel like it lacks the context it needs to really deliver that effect properly. 

Regardless, I'm glad our main character was able to escape the impending danger of the wild killer flutes! I DO worry, however; that these fiendish creatures are lying in the darkness surrounding the campsite, waiting for their chance to come and commit savage atrocities to the bunch of idiots sitting around looking up at the sky. 

Overall, this was a really enjoyable submission! "Stroll" "Uh Oh" and "RUN" are all solid tracks on their own, but create a really fun little dynamic when paired with the story. Great little story and really solid job on only having two days to work on this! Excellent work!
