Exactly what I thought, everyone misses that one.

Nice work!

Thanks :-D

I may have a theory for the menu notes. But maybe I'm imagining things. The game takes place during the Christmas period and it is this detail that makes me say that my theory could make sense.

I think the notes made by the 4 menu buttons (from top to bottom) correspond to the first 4 notes of "Carol Of The Bells".

You're close.

It's not a Christmas themed tune, but it is horror related...and a lot, lot older.

Funnily enough, they do both start on the exact same 4 notes...so you are sort of right.

Too bad I was almost there ^^. At least I would have tried.

Extremely close.

If I'm honest, I probably went a bit over the top with how specific this reference is. I strongly suspect that Carol Of The Bells was based on the same thing, as was the title music of The Shinning.

are you talking about Dies irae by Hector Berlioz?

Nailed it!!!

Absolutley correct, well done.

F**** YEAAH !!!! XD
I love these kinds of details. For me it's proof that a game was made with love. Honestly you can be proud.
Well done again. I'll leave you alone XD

Always nice to run into a true horror expert, and thanks again.
