(I intentionally avoided reading the above person's comment until after writing mine so as to form my own opinion without influence).

The song feels laid back and does its job, I think. I feel as though filter you used does one of two things: either it works on a screen where the menu is intentionally designed in an old-timey way, or it's meant to be used in a horror theme. Both would work equally well IMO.

Compositionally, it feels like there isn't a lot going on. At about 0:18 where the song goes into its B section the melody remains on the tonic, which makes the song feel as though it's stuck in "neutral" so to speak. The song would have also benefited from having a little more than just basic backing chords every 4 measures. An example of this would be to have another chord just before the next part of the phrase - you can spice things up with something like secondary dominants, diminished chords, or even using voice leading to resolve back to the start when it loops.

I think the song is serviceable as it is, but in my opinion it also feels quite forgettable since there isn't really a clear sense of melodic progression.
