TigSource Musical Challenge XXXIX - True Fear

Sorry for being late on delivering a challenge, I got busy at work and then got fairly ill recently. Alas finally the challenge has come!

We all know the games that scare us out of our pants. We all have our limits from what we're willing to put up with in a scary game, and sometimes the scariest part about it, the unsettling music.

The Challenge

Create the most unsettling piece of music you can. Strike fear into the listener and make them want to sleep with the lights on.

Rules

The piece must be at least two minutes in length
Must be original – no recycling old pieces
Which instruments you use are up to you
Must be submitted before the deadline
I will select 3-5 pieces to be voted on, depending on how many entries there are
Winner will host the next challenge

Judging Criteria 

The factors that will play into which entries I select for voting are as follows, in order of importance:

1. Rules are followed
2. How few cheap tricks (jumpscare sounds, binaural beats, etc.) are used.
3. How much it unsettles me but makes me want to keep listening
4. How sonically (un)pleasing it is. Harmonies, instrumentation, timbre, etc


Deadline

Submit entries by the end of Friday, 17th of April.

I'm willing to take a stab at this one, due to having some experience with scary soundtracks.

This is my submission to the True Fear competition. Thanks for listening. Criticism welcomed.

Cool! I wanted to go with more unsettling material, like a weird Earthbound-y kind of vibe, but here you go!
