Finally, a slightly more lighthearted submission! I know the theme "One Summer Night" evokes melancholy, but it's nice to see someone do something a bit more fun, it immediately makes it stand out. I'll leave notes on tracks that stood out to me:

I really like the guitars used in Wild Unknown, they're programmed very well and really bring out that far west mood, while the arcade-y synths reminds you that this place is all virtual. This song's definitely my favourite lol.

We're Not Playing Around Here is pretty swell, really got that all out, "anything's allowed" brawl feel to it. I like the piano near the start that shares the title theme's leitmotif. The switch up near the middle was pretty cool (I wish it was longer tho!) And the part after that was really well composed.

Resting Place's piano is probably the best played in the soundtrack, and I really like the organ playing there too. At first, it's not realistic but it feels just right for the alien feel of the place, before completely changing and sounding like a real church organ. These sacred grounds, while marvelous, should not be roamed for too long.

Big City Lights's just awesome, probably my second favourite. I love the flut-ish lead that plays near the middle, has that urban energy to it I can't describe. The piano really help in establishing that too.

The sudden high energy s witchup in Arcadia is a really great way to showcase the overwhelming feeling of the place, before ending on a (seemingly?) hopeful note.

Pretty cool how you decided to split up the tracks into different "Sections" so that they'd fit the story told more, it really helped in visualising scenes better.

I really like the short story told, it really fits the soundtrack like a glove. The world presented through the story is absurd and comedic yet the characters take everything happening there seriously, making for an endearing narrative. The implied visuals of the "Moving Building" are really cool, I'd love to see art of that. My favourite part was how it stopped right after RoseCrusher started talking, so what they look like and such is kept ambiguous. You have succeded in your quest of finding your love, what happens next is irrelevant to the story, no matter how good or bad the result was. I thought that was interesting. It's even showcased in Arcadia when the song sort of "powers down" at the very end.

Listening to this through the youtube video, I love how each track flows into one another as the "colour" of the video changes and effects are added.

The only part I didn't really like about the soundtrack was a specific part in "One Night Only" (I really like that one btw), at around 0:09 in the youtube video, the guitar is playing in a major scale while the background synths are playing in a minor scale, I think if you changed up the guitar's melody a little there (by making major notes play in minor, or something like that), it would've sounded less dissonant.

Overall a very fun time. Great job.
