Sixth Chapter Strange Forest lives up to its name with unsettling melodic choices that make the Disk System's sound chip work hard. Seventh Chapter Cave drops into something low and tense. Sparrow's House, by contrast, is oddly peaceful.

The Ending theme closes out this folktale with a resolution that feels genuinely emotional for 8-bit. Worth hearing if you followed the first disc and want to know how the story sounds when it lands.
