The Piano Sitter introduces gameplay that unique to any other game I have ever played by combining typing with playing the piano. Music was a huge part of my childhood, so this game really appealed to me. I used to love playing piano and guitar at my grandparent’s house with my siblings and cousins alongside me. We would listen to songs and try to look up how to play them on the piano and guitar, so playing this game brought me back to my childhood in that sense. I have never played a game like this, where you must play an instrument a certain way to not wake a child. Though there are games like guitar hero and rock band, where you must play an instrument well enough to not fail, there was no central story you were going through. Though the story is small-scale, it still gives a connection between what you’re doing as the player and how it impacts the larger world that the game takes place in. However, what makes this extremely personal and enjoyable for me is by connecting typing with playing the piano. I am majoring in computer science, so I am good at typing. By connecting a personal love of mine to my future career, this game links two things I love together and helps establish an emotional connection for me. I found the game to be super cool, since it sounded like original music that the creator used in the game. I would love to be able to create original music, but I don’t think I would be able to do a good enough job to impress myself after it’s created. Not only was playing the piano by typing a lot of fun, but the music itself was also impressive custom music. It was relaxing to be able to just sit down, type, and listen to good relaxing music. Since the premise of the game is to not wake up the child, you must make sure the music is soothing and that you do a good job playing the tunes on your keyboard so that he doesn’t wake up. This enforced the player to make sure they’re playing the music correctly and so it sounds soothing when playing the game. I don’t find a ton of games where I’m able to relax the entire time, but this game was a lot of fun to just sit down with and experience. The gameplay is simple, and I enjoy that aspect of it. Having the rules explained at the beginning of the game is also helpful when playing the game. The first time I played it, I found myself confused after skipping the instruction screen, but I didn’t think I would need it cause most games in this class are simple. Once I became confused and reloaded the window and read the instructions and everything made complete sense afterwards. Overall, this game was really enjoyable, and I think it’s a perfect game to play when you just want to relax and listen to some soothing music.
