Ruined Castle - Microtonal VGM

For this piece I made two versions.  While inputting the piece with all its microtones into Musescore, it ended up sounding quite bad with all the microtones that I had included (probably owing to the fact that the piece is already quite dissonant without the microtones).  So I removed all the microtones and made a version of it that's free of any microtones.  That's the 1st version.  Then, once I was done with that version of the piece, I went back and made a 2nd version with very light microtonal embellishments, mostly only in the melodic voices and only on minor chords (making them sub-minor in 24TET, meaning I brought the minor 3rd of minor chords down a quarter-step).  My intent with using those particular microtones is to make the piece even darker than it would be if it was just a regular minor key piece.  But let me know what you think about both versions and which one you like better!  I welcome your comments, suggestions, critiques or just observations.  Thanks for listening!

Beautiful, haunting theme. VERY dark sounding. I actually think the microtonal version sounds better because it gives off that "ruined castle vibe" a little more realistically in my opinion, and I feel like it accentuates your melody. The dynamics of your stringed instruments are well done.
