I can definitely hear the main theme of the game in this with the speed up And also the giant pile of THIS IS TERRIFYING AMBIANCE sprinkled in is nice.
It sounds in the the abyss behind the main theme like people talking or screaming in it. It’s probably a hint at the vessels who are trapped with out a voice but are still forever screaming in pain and cursing their father
Something absolutely fascinating about the details in this game - while this is clearly the same leitmotif as the title theme, the Hollow Knight's theme, etc., it's missing a few notes that the others all have, effectively making the version of the song that's _too slow to hear_ its own unique remix when they could've just as easily slowed down a preexisting version of the song.
This feels a lot like But Nobody Came from Undertale. A slow and really creepy song for a desolate area, but when sped up shows the influence behind that desolation. In Undertale you speed it up to hear Your Best Friend, showing how you're following Flowey's path, and in Hollow Knight it plays the main theme, showing how all of this was caused by the Pale King's quest to create the Hollow Knight.
Ya’ll never heard of lietmotifs? Not trying to say this isn’t super cool, but it’s not the only instance of this in Hollow Knight. If you thought this was cool go watch 8 Bit Music Theory’s 3-part series on Hollow Knight.
There's so much to hear that I'll never be able to unhear. DX Definitely believe that's the sound of the dead babies' whose shades haunt that awful pit.
Halo's 'Demons... Monsters...' is more terror. This is horror. Terror being the fear that something is out there coming for you, horror being the scene itself giving you fear. Seeing your dead siblings crowd around you is horrifying, for example, not so much terrifying, but when they begin to attack it's terrifying
@@Espartanica I have seen it defined in reverse, with terror more closely linked to dreadful suspense while horror is the moment the monster pounces on you. Nevertheless, the words are fairly synonymous, drawing a difference feels like nitpicking
