"Be afraid" and "Midnight Suspicion" build dread with that distinctly mid-90s Saturn sound, all reverb-heavy synths and atmosphere. "DEATH" and "DANGEROUS" are exactly as unsubtle as their names suggest. Then "Kiss me" and "Say yes!"
flip the whole vibe into something almost upbeat. "O.KA.MA!" is... a track that exists. "Signal RED" brings real urgency. Twenty-three tracks that can't decide if they're scoring a horror game or a dating sim, and somehow that tonal whiplash works.
If you dig obscure Saturn games with soundtracks that have no business being this varied, dig in.
