I liked your entry a lot! I get the feeling that the two of us come from similar musical backgrounds! Are you classically trained? I think you absolutely nailed the dark souls/bloodbourne vibe you were going for. It, at times, felt almost atonal but when I sat down with my own piano/keyboard I was able to get a better idea of the tonality. I love me some sophisticated harmony;)
Great submission!

Thanks, I also liked your entry a lot. Maybe we do have similar backgrounds :P
I have studied composition in modern contemporary music for a while while also trying to mix/blend with video game music concepts. When I started composing this piece I tried to not focus on any kind of functional harmony and only see chords as clusters and/or dissonances. Then I wanted to contrast the first section's cluster based harmony with triad-based chords in the last section. Was pleasantly surprised by how well the harmony in the end worked with the chromaticsim in the melody.
