The ascending and descending of the violins perfectly convey panic and that is absolutely perfect. While the trumpet/trombone is showing the ferocity of what they are dealing with. They captured both panic and fear perfectly in this with very little.
Those violins at layer 3 hit me like a brick but this theme is actually pretty good, I like all the instruments when the actual chase starts, definitely feels like an overpowering theme, fitting for Vecna.
The guy who tried to build a Haram and framed it as "speeding up evolution with only superior genes surviving" in the game with a pedophile, a canibal retard, the literal face of the kitchen knife slasher horror, and guy with knife that likes staring at people intently.
The way the xylophone can still be heard in layer 4 just alot quieter. My poetic interpretation is the entire chase music is a cult. Layer 1 you are observing the disturbing practices and procedures of the cult, they haven't noticed you yet. Layer 2, you underestimated their intelligence and they have begun to notice things such as misplaced objects and odd footprints, they're investigating and you are still sneaking about. Layer 3, they have found you, they go quickly to alert the higher ups of you and you aren't sure what to do panicking you don't know whether to run or risk discovering what will happen with sweat dripping down your forehead as crowds murmur about and stare at you. Layer 4. A loud howl emits from afar as a terrifying creature quickly sprints towards your direction. The one the cult serves. You immediately start running as the cult not interfering but chanting and howling in prayer of your imenent demise by their master, the drums of the song mimicking galloping as both you and the horrifying beast run for, your life.
Idea. When playing as killer the background music while not in a chase should be replaced with layer one of that specific killers chase music (volume lowered of course for say Myers tier 1)

I love the scraping groans in the 32 meter theme, the discordant notes of the string instrument in the 16 meter, the sharp transition into 8 meters I think is a bit much (but still suitably dreadful)
This might be an unpopular opinion but I honestly miss all of the killers having this theme. Not just because it is nostalgic, but it makes the matches less predictable of who it is. I missed hearing this and saying "what killer is it this round?". Good ol' times!
