@@SSmitar I had this exact feeling when I first played Hyper Light Drifter, now Death's Door. I wonder if there are any other hidden gems out there with these types of games
@@chonky.mp4 If you want hidden gems in the same alley, I highly recommend Hollow Knight and the two Ori games (The blind forest and the will of the wisps). Oh and if you want a memorable experience Outer WIlds. Enjoy the rollercoster of emotions ;)
Okay just finished the game with 100% and I am sure this game left a feeling where I want to play it more. Everything is just perfect. And I immensely enjoyed the music. Every song, and I mean EVERY, is a straight up banger.
The Grey Crow’s soundtrack. What an unexpected boss… One of the sadder moments of the game. You buddied up with this guy and then you have to kill him because his life’s work was for nothing and he couldn’t handle that…
@@MalpasDan I unfortunately got spoiled on that boss before I found it because I accidentally stumbled upon it on a guide video. But I was not expecting it altogether, no.
I got sort-of spoiled on the grey crow boss. I saw an article that said the grey crow was a hard boss because he was very skilled and experienced in combat. But in the boss fight he wasn't calculated, more like a rabid beast. So i was still suprised and satisfied with the fight.
I've played video games for 30 years and I've played 100s and 100s of video games, and this soundtrack is close to, or in my top 10 of all time. It's incredible.
Incredible game, just finished it! Maybe a less popular choice, but my favourite is "The Stranded Sailor" (1:04:53). Something about it is so calm but intricate
I SWEAR right when i started the game i had this feeling that the soundtrack sounded familiar to Moonlighter and only then i noticed that Death's Door Soundtrack was also composed by David Fenn. Great work as always, love your music!
I love this OST so much. What an intricate blend of orchestration, retro tracker style, classical music, ambient, metal. My top 5: 24:58 - Avarice 1:06:27 - Castle Lockstone 44:27 - Overgrown Ruins 15:56 - Estate of the Urn Witch 3:40 - Hall of Doors This style seems to be very straight-forward with its loops but still employs many musical devices that captures interest even during long sessions. The flow feels natural and sounds rich, with subtle cross-referenced melodies in the background. To me this OST is a good 50% of the game experience.
I would replace Estate with inner furnace; Aside from that, same TOP as you. And yes, Avarice music make me want to play challenge over and over. I even regret I beated it after 3-4 tries first time
I like Silent Servants (41:26) most. Even though the fight is very tense, there is sadness and calmness the servents feel when they know in the end they'll sacriface themselves so our crow can enhance the spells. I always felt like the servents are fighting to lose. It has a story which we can interpret ourself.
thank you for making this game what it is, David. The game is extremely good, but the thing that sets it above other similar games (stuff like HLD) is the soundtrack. You killed it in every way
The game would definitely not be what it is without this soundtrack it complements the game so well, it gets me so pumped and had me on the edge of my seat while fighting the bosses, it’s amazing.
My wife and I completed this game 100% a few weeks ago, and we loved the game so much. But without doubt, the musical score is outstanding, and we cannot help but continue to listen to the soundtrack as the genuinely evocative nature of each track brings all the memories back of how great this game is!
Hall of doors is my favorite Mysterious Beautiful piano Slow tempo and relaxing Chill cymbal beat Marimba trilling Varied mix of instruments Perfect loop I could listen to it over and over :)
The way David Fenn keeps bringing back the theme of the game in almost every piece of music of this game is astonishing, I will absolutely try to cover one of these songs one day on guitar, It would be amazing and beautiful. just like this game
Avarice, Old Watchtowers and Grey Crow are my personal favourites. I don't think I've been so surprised by a game soundtrack before, it's almost too good for the size of the game but it's perfect. I hope this gets the recognition it deserves. Fantastic.
Beautiful soundtrack. I'm probably half in to the game and can say that the music is a part that I consciously enjoy. Also the levels certainly give it a stage to shine.
David Fenn, you are an amazing composer! And the best thing is, you make your own rules, creating unique pieces while maintaining a Leitmotif. And top job on combining different motifs, the music could not fit any better!
One of the best video game scores i have heard since Jesper Kyd's Assassin’s Creed II and Michael McCann's DeusEx Human Revolution / Splinter Cell Double Agent. Very well done Sir!
This game is a fckn masterpiece and this soundtrack is an absolute gem. It cured me from my gaming depression. I'm in my 30s and no game could bring me fun for more than an hour. My 2 year old son accidently bought me this game on ps store while playing with the pad and after some time I decided to give it a try. I was instantly mesmerised and the soundtrack elevated it beyond what I ever expected.
This game’s soundtracks really stand out. I love every single one of them and the most favorite one is the old watchtower. You did a fantastic job both on the ost and the game!

Incredible soundtrack. One of the best I have listened to.
I'm here doing the same and I highly recommend you another indie soundtrack that is very relaxing and amazing. Hollow knight. Sometimes I also listen to the Witcher 3 OST and fits perfectly for those long sessions where I need to feel powerful.
love this soundtrack to bits and i've only gotten through half the game. 1:13:43 The Old Watchtowers is absolutely brilliant. I feel like I'm scaling a mountain with my friends on the way to slay a dragon. Thank you for making this, it's wonderful!
I recently started it on Xbox Game Pass. It is a cute little "souls-like" but in a much more relaxing setting and format. Plus, the music is amazing. Give it a try!
Usually takes me awhile to want to play a single player game nowadays, but I did with this one when it came out and 100% everything in it, game is super good, coming from me thats huge xD I think next singleplayer one Im gonna do is Cocoon as I love the games he makes.@@engvidAlex
I've played a lot of games in my life and I mean A LOTTT, yet this is the only OST I come back to regularly. you guys have done an amazing job with it, the game wouldn't have been the same without it
Oh man i though David Fenn just stopped making VG OST's after Moonlighter! But apparently this has been out for a while. I know I'm late but im super happy to know one of my favorite composers is making video game music again! Also didn't realize you worked on Titan Souls as well! I'm sensing a resurgence from you, sir!
Thank you so much for uploading the entire soundtrack - it was easily one of my favourite aspects of the game. So moody and melancholy, each song suits the environment perfectly. Wrote a review for the game and specifically wanted to point out the soundtrack - hope it convinces more people to open Death's Door!
This soundtrack is good, but it's greatness comes from something that musicians probably have a name for but I can't quite put into words. It's not just the melodies, but more like there's a change in them. Most tracks give you a base for what you think the emotion for the melody is.. but then it changes and evolves as the track goes on. It's almost as if it's constantly subverting your expectations. This probably exists in other pieces but this is the first soundtrack I've noticed it so plainly.
@@777Looper There is some of that, but I actually think it's in the melodies themselves. Each track swings from one to the next without losing harmony but without landing *exactly* where you thought it would land.
@@enicot That probably comes down to just a good example of melodic interest. Threading that fine line between cohesion/pattern recognition and chaos/novelty. Hitting the sweet spot of wonder/discovery. There's definitely an art to it.
I love Death's Door so much. The game is awesome on its own but the music just elevates it. I've 100% the game twice and it felt so much easier on the second run even though I was doing an umbrella only run (+ the ranged skills). I would always get pumped when I heard the music for the Avarice challenge.
Lovely soundtrack. Inner Furnace and Grey Crow are both huge jams, as are all the boss themes! Lovely, atmospheric, very cinematic feel to the score throughout.
I saw some great critics so I tried Death's Door. I don't think I'd have played the whole game till the end unless my ears were completely in love with the soundtrack. I don't remember anything so spectacular since the first years of World of Warcraft. What an OST, you should be proud of yourself David Fenn, it's a masterpiece to be remembered.
I'm obviously 3 years too late to this comment section, but I really appreciate all this beautiful music and video game, thank you to all of you involved in it's creation.
Easily the best game music I have experienced, it never gets boring ever, you did an amazing job man! Even after my Umbrella only run I wanna keep playing :-)
