I love a good mystery~~
Anyways, lol, this game does a lot really well. As someone who spent 7 years in orchestra, I can tell that the author is either pulling from personal experience or really did their research. The character writing is excellent, and I really like how the minimalist sprite designs help focus the design aspects and allow for having a wide cast.
It'll be interesting to see how the new backgrounds will work, but I'm honestly surprised how well the current ones do. Just goes to show that you don't need a ton of expensive assets to tell a good story.
