The nine-track score is lean and focused, never overstaying its welcome. "The Shape" is a particularly evocative title that nods to horror cinema tradition, and the track delivers appropriately stalker-like tension. "Closing In" ratchets up the pressure with an oppressive, claustrophobic sound design that makes you feel the walls shrinking.
"Not Of This World Remix" suggests something supernatural lurking beneath the surface-level slasher premise, adding a layer of otherworldly menace to the proceedings. The inclusion of "Vault Dweller" is an interesting curveball in an otherwise straightforward horror soundtrack, hinting at gameplay elements beyond pure survival horror.
