Our take on NOTE
The emphasis on one piano-like mechanic narrows the interaction compared with games built around multiple systems. That focused structure leaves less room for varied combat, crafting, or progression mechanics.
What is NOTE?
This indie minimalist 2D platformer follows a composer creating music and a note pursuing a dream.
The player takes both roles during a journey about composition, with a distinctive mechanic based on playing like a piano. The composer works toward music expressing people, the world, and spiritual beliefs, while the note seeks a path toward its dream. The game focuses on artistic creation, music, and the relationship between the composer and the note. Its themes are presented as a work about composition and the journey taken by these two figures.
