The title track sets the stage with an unsettling elegance, "Reverse Babel" throws communication and order into chaos, and "Chariot Overlord" brings commanding weight that sounds like a boss encounter you're not ready for.
The middle section is where the soundtrack finds its emotional range. "Tranquility" and "Cocoon Warbling" offer fragile, cocooned moments of peace, while "Three Huntresses Rush" and "Mad Bullet" snap into aggressive action without warning.
"Maze of Fog" drifts into disorientation, and "Call to Multiply" carries an almost biological urgency that fits the subtitle's Darwin reference perfectly. The inclusion of two "undisclosed music" tracks, "Hollow Mother" and "Strife," is a fascinating choice.
Hidden compositions that feel like secrets the game hasn't fully revealed yet. "The Daydreamer" and "Look Back" close things on a reflective note, while "First Step" suggests that wherever the story ends, something new is beginning.
The whole album reads like an origin myth told through sound.
