Ex developer at Bethesda quit his job after 14 years and made this heavy metal horror game as a solo dev with no publisher

It took about 3.5 years, but now it's actually coming out in less than two weeks. I'm really excited to see what people think of it and it has been cool watching streamers react to the demo. Somehow my two story tall tree guy is really good at sneaking up on people. :D

Looks interesting, but the music should hit WAY harder, IMO. Based on the visuals, I was expecting early 2000s Opeth, and I got late 2010s Opeth instead.
The music is all written by a member of ISIS, which is pretty heavy, but in an "atmospheric sludge/post-metal" way. So I can see how you'd think that if you're looking for something more death metal (which would fit in the fight scenes, although atmospheric sludge or funeral doom would go pretty well in the rest of the game)
I recently got into slug metal. Would you have any recommendations for sludge, funereal, and/or doom metal?
Could check out High on Fire if you haven't.
Saw them open for Mastodon in 2009 (I think). Fucking excellent on stage.
