I've had this saved in my library to play for ages but only just got around to it, so glad I finally did because this is one of the most beautifully haunting experiences I've ever had in a game. My finger is actually a bit numb because I almost always had the play the violin button down, that song is utterly beautiful and there's something so hypnotising about walking around these environments while constantly playing (plus the atmosphere is kind of terrifying when you don't have the music). The maze-like design of the environments had me wandering around in circles a bit but I didn't mind, in fact I quite enjoyed just being able to walk around and get lost in the music. The ending definitely caught me off guard, but this was an incredible game that I absolutely adored. I will definitely be trying the different versions to see what they're like, but honestly I think I'll be replaying it again just because it's that good. Would love to see more of this concept.

Thank you very much and so glad to hear you had such an experience with it! There were plans to expand it into a more fleshed out experience but they are on hold for the moment. A toggle for playing rather than holding it would be one of the first things to add! The song is free to download on here and on Youtube if you want to listen to it without straining your finger :)
