About This Game

Sydney and the Cicadas were a punk rock band from Vermont in the early 1990's, consisting of friends and lovers Sydney Wickstrom (lead guitarist/vocalist), Ruby Goodbrey (bassist), and Natalia 'Tally' Disston (drummer). They largely performed as a cover band until the summer of 1992, when they went on an excursion to an abandoned citadel to explore an original album. Only Sydney returned, finishing the band's first and only album Immanentize on September 21, 1993, with the help of Ruby's brother, Reuben.

This adaptation explores the events of the three weeks inside the citadel as told by Sydney and the album, relayed through each of the album's tracks (with music inspired by the track it's played in). Tracks can be played in any order, and can be skipped. Collect and use items, solve puzzles, carry conversation, and play your heart away.

Features include:

• Eight engrossing levels and a "B-side" epilogue (2+ hours expected play time)

• Casual yet challenging puzzles and minigames

• Riotous story about love, chaos, and cycles of violence

• Unique gameplay mechanic: play the right chords on your guitar to change the world around you
