Wow. This is weirdly superb. Very very nice job on sound design, I'm very impressed, also since I'm pretty far from this level. I agree mostly with the very accurate review of TaintedLogic (I could not be able to do such a good and technical review), so yes, there are some things you can improve but it's still a very good job. Keep up the good work!

I like the eerie atmosphere at the beginning. The distorted vocals definitely contribute to the creepy mood. The texture might need some thickening up at times to keep me engaged, especially during the first 1.5 minutes or so, but I did enjoy the swell into :52 and the airy piano riff at 1:17. The transition at 1:43 was surprisingly smooth considering what a rapid shift in the texture it is. The pacing of the piece is still rather slow, and at some point I would’ve liked to hear some more harmonic depth to balance out the gritty rhythmic content, but the mixing is impressive and the progression feels downright cinematic. If there’s one particularly jarring transition here, it’s at 2:55, although I feel like a drum fill or brief flourish would smooth it over more. I also enjoyed the climax into 3:47 and the return of the piano at 4:00. The skin-crawling wall of sound at 4:33 caught me by surprise a bit, but in retrospect you foreshadowed it well. Overall, I think the arrangement here is a bit disjointed, and the composition could be more well-rounded, but you absolutely told a story with this one, and I have a lot of respect for that. Sound design and production are very good as well. Thanks for coming out to the NGUAC this year, SUNSCREECH! Been a pleasure having you. ^_^

lol that last batch of sound jump scared me. ;w;

This is so out of my knowledgebase in terms of production, I can do nothing except tell you how much effort I can see you put into sound design. At times I disagree with the structure, but you have this cinematic atmosphere I cannot ignore.

As wierd as impressive! Really love the sound design! And the piano chords are on point!
