This sounds to me like a mix of Howard Shore, Christopher Larkin, and Gareth Coker. Excellent compositions! Thanks for sharing

Description
"When you wish upon a star, does it come true?"

Soundtrack style - piano-centric with orchestral textures
Game genre - story-driven with sailing/navigation elements
Game title - Moon Dream
Made almost entirely with EastWest orchestra samples and several synths.
Message from the artist:
This is my longest soundtrack to date! If you're in a hurry then these few songs give a good sense of the overall soundtrack:
- Wish
- Adrift in the Storm
- Moonrise
I thought the image prompt looked like the cover of a picture book, so I wrote a soundtrack for an imaginary children's story about a boy who wishes to go to the moon and the characters he meets along the way.
There's also a short story to go along with it :)

In general the songs are low energy and relaxing, so lay down, close your eyes, and drift into the world of Moon Dream.
Theme:
How does it fit the theme?
The art for this jam is phenomenal! I did my best to write music and a story for a game that looks and feels like this beautiful image. The plot hinges on the question of whether you can get something simply by wishing for it. Can you?
