Been meaning to set some time aside, no pun intended, to hear this. Synthwave! Let's gooo. It definitely gives me an 80's retro-futuristic vibe, and it wouldn't sound out of place in an action sci-fi movie from that era. I like your approach to conveying a sense of impending doom through repetition and downtempo synth-laden grooves.
If I had to share some feedback from a compositional standpoint, I would say that each musical idea tends to exhaust fairly quickly. I suggest layering more theme variations or adding more synth layers on top to keep me hooked a bit more. Nice job, overall!

Thank you so much! I appreciate the feedback.
Honestly, the main theme(s) were probably my least favorite part of this OST. The first leitmotif was quite rushed; I didn’t have much motivation or ideas for it other than ‘make it sound dark in some way.’
I hadn’t really considered making more variations of the themes, though. That would’ve helped a ton, especially with how loop-based a lot of the songs are.
