*Formerly known as "Haunted Forest Temple of Spookiness".


VERY loosely inspired by Zelda 64's Forest Temple. I love arps; they make me feel like a good composer. Hah. Also, I guess it's sort of videogame-ish sounding as my sound usually winds up being lol. Hope you like it!

Kind of reminds me of a mix between Stone Tower Temple from Majora's Mask and the Forest Temple from OoT. It gives me a vibe from many an RPG / action-adventure game I've played over my lifetime, and it's real good.

Arps are sweet. :D Love me some arps and synth. ♥ Can never go wrong with em. The violin solo in the middle sounded very bittersweet as well, as you'd expect, and sounded like something from Xenogears / Xenosaga or Final Fantasy. Well done!

makes me think of running through a world war against dracula in the forest at night

The introduction is incredible, with the reverb and the instrumentation it gives me a vibe of some mozmorra of some video game.
.with the strings and the piano, it becomes a bit epic, dark and sad on the bridge. Then it becomes very epic and dark when it returns at minute 1:48, with what seems to me to hear an organ, and some strings, I think it is an erhu. I love.

HoboKa responds:

Oooo, thanks for the feedback ClitBait. Glad you digged it! Mozmorra huh. Oh, dungeon. Yeah, the aim was to make it a creepy temple or forest. So close enough haha.

This is a great vibe, I really like when things start to pick up with that choir and organ.

The more delicate and quiet moments are a nice balance. Could definitely see this being used well in something cinematic for the Halloween season

HoboKa responds:

Thank you for taking the time to review and comment ConnorGrail! Glad you liked it.

Ya sold me at the middle part in 1:05

I'm a big Baldurs Gate Dsrk Alliance fan

And it gave me the same kinda chills as the "Elf Song Tavern"...very haunting

I'm getting a haunted (somthing) vibe...maybe a warrior or king died unjustly and you enter this forest where they died and hear the sounds of sadness.

betrayal of a good friend crosses your mind as you traverse the forest (or temple)

HoboKa responds:

Heh, I can see the Elf Song vibe there. I should really grab those cool ghostly operatic libraries that E/W has. Kinda expensive though T_T But I love ghostly vocals.

Those are some cool ideas, I hope that this tune inspires other people too!
