A fantastic track front to back. On the one hand, I adore the piano and vocals in this track, and on the other hand, theres some creative arrangement going on here, especially as the track opens up and evolves. The track is structured as an adventure, where the piano stands in as contemplation for an encounter with the big bad wolf and the alluring voice takes the form of a siren's call a fantastic piece of composition. Around 2:00 minutes however, you can feel the track start to break itself down. But that is perfectly placed it's where the track really kicks into gear with added layers of heartbeats, more discordant piano, and what sounds like a squeaky, long-abandoned swing. The adventure has suddenly become more riddled with anxiety. You feel more uneasy; a false sense of control being taken from you by the track. When you find yourself just a mere minute later with an ever so subtly slowed down tempo, this becomes a deafening symphony of intensity with layers on layers of sounds just continuing to build up dread. A track like this is a nightmare, but one you will most definitely not want to wake up from. Again, just moments later, the track halts itself, with only the sounds of gravelly footsteps and the squeaking. The weight and pressure of the grand moment is over - the wolf makes its frightening appearance, "AND I WILL EAT YOU!" growled over and over. Oh fuck. And that's it. There are no final crescendos. One of the most frightening transitions and ending to a track in any game I feel. A phenomenal piece of work here from Kris Force. It shows off her ability as a great scorewriter, and I feel, she transforms the typical horror game score into something primal & terrifying, and it reminds me of the latter work of Lingua Ignota (although Lingua Ignota is definitely towards the harsher side all together). This track is fantastic and I would be hard pressed to point out any faults.
