Simply amazing
It is extremely rare for me to spend money on a video game soundtrack. I seldom find it appealing to listen to it separately from the entire experience of playing. And to be clear I consider it a crucial part to most of my favorite games. It's extremely difficult to do music well for this medium, as it needs to support listening to for a very long time, depending on how long it takes you to clear an area, it needs to build mood very quickly in case you make progress in almost no time. This is one of the only cases where not only have I done so, I don't regret it in the least, and I wholeheartedly recommend others do it, if at all you like the score. You definitely should not listen through this whole thing until you've already completed the game itself, since the way it works with the visuals and gameplay should be experienced without having any prior exposure to it. Consider it motivation for playing through the whole thing - as if we needed any more of that! I can't overstate how strong of an experience it is to put it on and be transported by it every single track is distinct yet fits the whole they manage so many different flavours of creepy, the heavy atmosphere that is consistent throughout both games though nicely varied. There are a lot of different instruments in use here and they always support one another, never working against one another. One doesn't completely take over; none of them are chosen just because they sound kind of cool. There are a number of different tempos and keys. It is very self-assured, the product of someone who knows exactly what they're doing. It goes far beyond the fact that it's deeply impressive that Jesse Makkonen was able to handle this and every other aspect(other than translation of dialogue) entirely by himself. If he at some point retires from video game development, chooses to make music full-time, while I would be sad about the loss, I would buy entire albums of this. This runs, total: 27 minutes, 31 seconds, 28 tracks.
