I love the guitar melody for the menu screen in Dwarf Fortress, and I've also recently give the soundtrack to Disco Elysium another listen.

The former invokes a sense of tragedy and industry, whereas the later gives a wistfulness for a wooden shack on a unforgiving shore.

Given both a listen. The Dwarf Fortress menu music is a really cool melancholy sounding melody, it sounds like it'd fit right in with a post-rock accompaniment. Something looming about it, something cryptic. It feels serious and soft-spoken, but mischievous.

The Disco Elysium OST is pretty versatile, it definitely lives up to the name. It's so ambient but so rhythmic, I dig the textures across tracks, with horns mixed between synth pads and different resonant signatures that blend together to make a really shoegazy backdrop. At the same time, the beats that drop in every so often are really cool chill but groovy beats that set the tone for the music goin' on.

Safe to say, I've never heard of either games, and I'll check out what they're about sometime thx for the recs!
