This looks promising! I must say though that the lighting looks a bit flat in some of the scenes shown, you may want to increase the contrast in the sectors a bit more. Keep up the good work!

I have decided to shut down my Bandcamp page because, despite offering a better price than on Steam, nobody has purchased the OST there. Although I personally prefer Bandcamp due to its various download format options, it seems that many players prefer buying it on Steam.
