i listen to the betweenlands ost now and then whenever i need to calm down from an anxiety/panic attack or just general major stress, and something i've noticed (and find really charming) is that most of the ambient tracks tend to have two distinct sections:

spooky but calm ambient synth that sounds distinctly like something right out of a survival horror game, probably silent hill specifically

the most heartbreakingly beautiful piano/harp/woodwind/steel drum/synth melody you've ever heard in your life
