I like the thin bass at the beginning and the rhythmic content. The vocals are nice too, and add to the catchy and ominous aspect of the piece. The murky pads at :11 are a bit cheesy, but overall the sound design is strong here. I think the piece could’ve used some more melodic content and structuring, though. It could use a more fleshed-out composition besides just one verse and an instrumental bridge. The mix is also pretty quiet. Doing more with the arrangement will also allow you to maximize the emotional content of this piece more. Right now, the shape is pretty flat. At some point, I would’ve liked the tension in this piece to either reach a point of resolve or escalate in a meaningful way, but that’s hard to accomplish in a little over a minute. Still, the production quality is solid, the atmosphere and mood are nice, and the instrumental palette is murky and cool. Keep at it, Kinupsi! :)
