Gorgeous. The clouds "make it" & set the tone for me.

I love how the music plays against the action! You'd definitely expect high intensity Rock, Metal, or Electronic music... but this completely caught me off guard. Refreshing & a bit humorous :)

Well Done! The bridge sound has a nice amount of wood "stress" & a heavy thud (in the sand) for the impact. I like how the intensity of the arrow trap increases as you get closer as well.

For your sound system, do you have lots of little impact/collision sound files randomized when they interact with the environment or player? Also, are there any plans to use those colliders for specific music cues?

Appropriately Melodic & yet Eery piece of music. Nicely done & good choice of instrumentation!

Thank you. Hmm... not sure what you're referring to as 'generic'... the Timpani or perhaps the many different Frame Drums? The Timpani is a bit further back in the mix, but we decided to bring the Frame drums forward a bit for creative reasons. Unfortunately the music tends to lose a bit of it's momentum if they're placed in a manner consistent with a concert performance. Glad to hear you like the music overall though!

Thanks! Oh... lots of different stuff :) Main DAW is Protools & a combination of many different libraries: LASS, Requiem, Cinebrass etc.

Nice, I really like the 2nd idea of moving from cabin to cabin as you approach the city.

Looks great! Nice to see a gameplay video. Music may need to be lowered a bit, as it sounded as if it was clipping in the video... however that could just be a video issue & not necessarily existent in-game.

Nice Trailer! The Inception-influenced music fit quite well... did your composer create that or was it licensed from a library?

The video looks really nice, well done! I think the music fit pretty well too... are you going to have your composer stick to a similar style?

Nice character and story behind the eye... it'll be interesting to find out what advantages/disadvantages that may have for his sight.

You said it, Cnaff. Simple, but it looks like fun. I'm looking forward to hearing some of the zombie SFX and if I may throw out a suggestion...

If you have the space/time/budget for it, different music styles for different hollywood sets (maybe variations on the main theme) would be great. It'd be fun to hear Spaghetti Western Music w/ the associated set, Orchestral Adventure for any "Indiana Jones" sets , etc.
