wellifyouinsist has been making a dungeon synth album and
posting the songs to MeFi Music as she composes them, and it's now available on Bandcamp as The Dark Forest!

It's melancholy and has a tone-poem feel — that is, there is a vibe that a story is happening. It's also cozy and at times borders on comfysynth.
Dungeon synth is a subgenre of lo-fi ambient music that often sounds much like old CRPG soundtracks. It has a history that connects it to both black metal and dark ambient music. Here's an introduction to its history.

My next writing session has a new soundtrack. Really lovely stuff!

I was particularly fond of Refuge in the boughs of the ancient oaks.

If you're looking for more of that mood, Bandcamp has a bunch of tasty roundups like this and this, or you can just crawl the genre tag and get weird on whatever strikes your interest. And from there you can start poking in the very wild corners of genre intersectionality, like the full on Halloween vibes on This Tape Is Haunted!, or the absolutely delicious crypt-hop jams of Werepanther describing the execution of a fantasy-flavored Ocean's 11 style heist.
