A Short Game About Young Pianist

My playtime: 00:12:36 (last save, before final decision)

Intro
The Piano Player is a game about a young pianist that is experiencing strange things to his day. The game is much like a visual novel with a bit of an action.

Music
Just like the game's name, the game uses a lot of piano musics. It sounds relaxing, but it also build the suspense when the strange, shocking things happened.

Graphics
I noticed that the game uses a lot of black in the main menu. As for the mapping itself, the mappings are decent, although it looks strange that the piano classroom has so many pianos in it (how big is the room, actually?). Well, i don't really see anything strange on the mapping except for that since most of the places are considered "strange" already.

Story
As i said before, the story is about a young pianist who is encountering strange things to his day. He'll try to figure out what happened and bit by bit, he'll realize what's going on and try to make a decision. There will be 3 decisions that the young pianist can take, all leading to a different ending. It's quite obvious which one the real ending is and i think that the real ending is the one that is well made. The story moved my heart, to be honest. The narrative in this game is very good.


Calm down, bro.


The game
Although the game has a lot of texts, it doesn't mean that you won't move most of the time. However, you'll mostly have to figure out what you should do by yourself when you're able to move. The game will usually offer a save whenever this thing happens and i suggest you to save your game at that time. Since you have to figure out what you're supposed to do, you have to try a lot of times to make sure you don't die (yes, die) in the process. Sometimes, you might even get a game over if you fail in doing so. It'll be quite easy once you figure out what to do though and it's quite fun.


So many me.


Pros:
- 3 endings
- Some "mini games"

Cons:
Can't make up anything

Conclusion
This is a good short game. If you want a touching story with a bit of surprise, you might want to try this one.
