I love this track a lot more than I should tbh, the beginning with the sorta ethereal instruments jumps into this happy little melody that really does feel like the intro to a play- almost like it's setting the scene for the tracks coming after it. I give this an "unbridled optimism" out of 10

This track is probably one of my favorite lo-fi pieces I've heard on Newgrounds- you really have the melody and effects on lock with this one.

Only nitpick I have is that I'd like a little more variation outside of the pauses and breaks- one thing I think could match with this track is some ambient natural sounds (maybe crickets?)

Either way, this is a solid lo-fi track- keep doing what you're doing!
