Reviews

“Between its interesting duo, unconventional art-style, and absorbing story, The Music Machine is a highly recommended title...”
8/10 – Rely on Horror

“It’s when the two stories diverge from each other that they reach their peaks: the drama and the horror, separate but unyielding, pelting me with empathy and fear in unspoken agreement.”
N/A – Kill Screen Daily

“As usual for anything from this genre it’s not for everyone, it’s not jump scares and gore, but it’s a fantastic story. Unique and quietly unsettling”
9/10 – Bitparade

About This Game

Haley, an eccentric 13 year old girl, has a complicated relationship with her old friend Quintin. He's a ghost now, and he's puppeting her body with the intent of finding a satisfactory way of killing her. This dubious quest has led them to a mysterious abandoned island, where several people were recently murdered. And where, among the rotting cabins and dense trees, a strange new building hides a bizarre secret...

"He met a man an eyeless man a toothless man and he looked at the man and the man looked at him and he saw that the man was beloved and dearest of friends and the man spoke to him 'how long since you've tasted bone marrow' and he told him he told him truthfully and the man said 'come' and he came with the man and they vomited pure cold clean water into the endless eternal infinite sea and then, the end."
