Weird effect going on in those rhythm acoustic guitars which I’m not sure is intentional, they sound a little phased/chorused? I legitimately can’t tell if it’s a phaser effects or the recordings are literally phasing into each other, but hey, it works. Guitar lead sound has a pretty good quality. The sound makes me picture this listening inside of a watery cave. Sudden e-piano! Works well enough. Overall this is pretty serene and enjoyable.

Nice guitar duet, anon. Sounds like a bit of an intonation issue from the guitar in the left-side of the mix. Ooooh that EP is a nice touch for a counter line. Tambourine is a great choice too, though it starts to feel plodding after a minute or so. Sneaky fake fadeout ending, clever anon!

Wow this verby comping at the start, so nice! Lead guitar playing is so tight, too. The EP (??) arps are lovely. I feel like I’m not yet aware of all the things I’m hearing in this, there’s so much subtlety. Excellent work.

What a pretty guitar duet.

Really pretty and melancholic opening. The playing is good, and the song is gentle and intimate. It sounds like a synth bass (is it?) but I feel going all acoustic would suit the vibe better overall. I kind of wanted the notes on the lead guitar to ring out a bit more too, since that lead melody is so pretty. Really nicely done.

The rhythm guitars aren’t really doing it for me here for reasons brought up by other reviewers, but the lead is gorgeous, expressive, and more than enough to keep me hooked! Really love the dynamic shift that happens around the :55 mark when the synth bass comes in, it helps keep me engaged. There’s a lot of little flourishes that are gradually introduced as the track unfolds.

Pretty start. I like the light chorus on the acoustic guitar in the background. Subtle and effective. The low bass synth at 1:10 is equally a treat. Key change at 2:35 is welcome. Nice chill arrangement that does a lot with a little.

This could use a bit of mix and eq polish for sure, but it’s very enjoyable. I love that low subsynth that comes in and I wish it was louder. It’s a nice arrangement, and has a ton of potential.

so calm and mysterious, the synth add a lot of vibe atmosphere
really good anon

Nice guitar duo to start this off – feels nice and airy. The rhythm has a bit of reverb on it to start, but feels more balanced as the lead comes in pretty quickly. Nice strings backing coming in, helps to give that low bass rumble as the guitars continue. Piano brings a nice contrast, the tone for the electric helps to blend in. Tambourine helps to give a nice little pop of rhythm, though the attack on it may just be a bit too heavy. It probably could also come in and out for a few verses, it being pretty continuous does feel a bit too much. Love the ending with everything just dropping out except the guitars to hammer home the initial vibe. Overall, this is a nice, smooth entry and really enjoy how flowing it is – very cohesive and calming. Great job anon(s)!

What a melancholic entry! I like that it’s not entirely acoustic, it adds to the atmosphere. Production might not be the best, but I enjoyed anon’s guitar performance. I had no idea this game had good (and emotional) music.

Focusing on guitar the guitars: I would work on the rhythm guitars (fix whatever phasing/etc you have going on in there, clean-up the reverb, etc) and giving the lead guitar a little more reverb. The issue with the lead guitar is it doesn’t ring out as much as it would in another room right now. The ending really shows; Even a little more reverb can make the already abrupt ending a little less awkward. I love how calming this is still, Anon. Seriously would love to see more like this. Wonder what a Violin would sound like in the fray.
