I appreciate the more detailed analysis!
I agree with you, I should have made the synths a little less of an undertone. I was hoping to get at least one or two more songs done, but I stretched myself too thin with other jams running concurrently. I just finished a game jam last night. Maybe I'll get around to at least finishing the Automaton theme. That was much more synthetic. I think you're right about the main theme. I was kinda going for a similar vibe to the main theme from The Outer Worlds, but to your point, the motif for that starts immediately.
I'm glad that you and several others seemed to enjoy it overall though! Evacuate was the first one I made and is also my favorite. I think it turned out the best of all of them.
