      I agree this won't be the best suited whilst killing monster. However, if it were to play outside of combat, or in a depressing/lonely area, then I foresee many chills down a lot of people's spine. It's indeed a great track.

      Bit of a departure from mainstrea video game music. Which is promising :) Great track!

      I actually find music like this eerie in the context of games. For example I think Minecraft has some really simple peaceful melodies, but every time they play I feel like something is going to sneak up on me and insta-kill me. Good job guys!

      I have a hard time imagining myself killing monsters to this theme, but if it were in a more depressing locale, like say when you come upon a town that has been slaughtered, or some ally that had died, I can see it working

      @Kristian this is more of a town theme

      This track definitely does *not* get me in the mood to kill zillions of creepy monsters with my mighty mouse clicks, but it's a wonderful little melody nonetheless...

      That being said, still really like it!

      This track sounds good, but it sounds like it could use a little more mastering. The dynamic range is a bit compressed for something that should sound kind of "haunting" or convey loneliness and misery.

      I'm not one for sound tracks but so glad I'm getting it myself.

      Don't worry, there it still plenty more to come!
