Man, the texture and ambiance are always on point with you. It was a real trip. Love the worldbuilding behind your submission too, enlarging the scope to the influence of the weapon in the universe is great.

However, like many pointed out, all 3 tracks lack focus on the melody and feel more like ambient, especially "The curse".

Melody clarity 3/5 (This one is difficult to rate, especially since the melody's very clear in "The world", but a bit less in the other tracks)

Melody impact 1/5 

Composition 4/5 (Rated 4 and not 5 because I feel like a jam focused on melody would naturally focus on its development, which isn't the case here)

Listenability 5/5 (Could totally hear this in a professional setting, I'd love to play a game/watch a movie with this as soundtrack)

Correlation to theme 5/5

Yeah, if there's anything I'd go back and change about this submission it would have been going into it with a clear melody and going from there. Unfortunately I thought I'd miss the jam period so I kinda just ran through getting three on-brand and high quality tracks out for the sake of participation and fun as opposed to sitting down and scoring 2-4 tracks with evolution and melodic progression. 

My plan was to do the worldbuilding and audio quality I always try to do without sacrificing any of that to "force" a melody in there. 

The 'A♯, B, F"  to "B, F, G♯" (Fdim)   stabs starting with the choir felt like a nice build in, everything else (root wise) stays in that realm. Finding something in the net of "A♯, B, C, C♯, D♯, F, G♯" was fun pad and harmonics wise. 

I totally feel like your ratings are spot on. I'd probably give myself 2/5 on the melody clarity. Maybe it's just introspective knowledge but I know for a fact there could have been structured melody if I'd cut corners elsewhere. 

EDIT: The font got bold because I copy/pasted the chords / scale from a notation app lmaoooo

Bold font jumpscare

Yeah I went to copy/paste from my notation app and it forced everything into bold lmao
