What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We want this game to feel complete, polished, and truly satisfying in every aspect and we believe the best way to achieve that is by building it together with the community. Early Access allows us to openly share our progress, gather feedback, and shape the game’s direction alongside players. Since this project has strong potential to grow with new features, improved mechanics, and better presentation, we see Early Access as the ideal environment to bring out that potential with your help.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to stay in Early Access for several months, with a target window around May-June for leaving Early Access. However, this timeline may change depending on community feedback, development needs, and the amount of content we aim to add.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan to expand the game significantly as development progresses. Our goals include:
- Adding new levels and content
- Improving gameplay dynamics and progression
- Enhancing the overall presentation and user experience
- Introducing new features based on community feedback
While we cannot promise specific features or timelines, our intention is to deliver a more complete, polished, and content-rich version at full release”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version includes the core gameplay experience, allowing players to progress through levels in the board game. At this stage, you will see significant portion of the full game’s content. Some features, levels, and visual elements are still in development, and players may encounter bugs or placeholder assets. We will continue improving and expanding the game throughout Early Access.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to offer the game at a more accessible price during Early Access. As we add new content and features, the price will increase when the full version is released. This approach allows early supporters to enjoy a more advantageous price”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We plan to involve the community through active feedback channels and in‑game tools. A built‑in feedback and rating system will allow players to quickly share their thoughts, report issues, and suggest improvements directly from within the game. We will review community input regularly and use it to guide new features, balance changes, and overall development priorities. Our goal is to shape the game together with the players.”

About This Game

Bring the Music Bach to World!

In a world where the sun is kept alive by a massive, mechanical metronome playing endless melodies, a crisis has struck: the machine has run out of songs! The world has forgotten how to play real music, relying entirely on soulless, flawless machines.

Step into the shoes of Ky and Kap, two orchestra conductors, who must embark on a time-traveling journey to rediscover the true meaning of music. Haydn in Plain Sight is a relaxing, story-rich hidden object game where history, emotion, and cozy puzzles intertwine.

Explore the Lives of Musical Legends

Travel back in time to the pivotal and sometimes beautifully mundane moments that defined history's greatest classical composers. From Bach to Vivaldi to Haydn, you'll explore beautifully illustrated scenes. Discover hidden objects, uncover quirky real-life trivia and experience the memories of musical geniuses.

Two Conductors, Two Paths

Start your journey at the central castle and choose your path across a charming tabletop-style map. Ky travels East, while Kap heads West.

  • Play at your own pace: Stuck on a tricky hidden object scene? No problem! Seamlessly switch between Ky’s and Kap’s campaigns at any time.

  • Share the progress: Earn "hint points" with one character to help the other, ensuring a smooth, relaxing, and frustration-free experience.

Assemble a Living Orchestra

Finding everyday objects is only half the journey. Hidden across the centuries are unique musical instruments and orchestra pieces. Collect them all to achieve your ultimate goal: shutting down the mechanical metronome and replacing it with a living, breathing human orchestra. Discover the heartwarming truth that music isn't about mechanical perfection it's about emotion, feeling, and the beautiful little flaws that make us human.

Key Features:

  • Relaxing Hidden Object Gameplay: Search for items in cozy, beautifully illustrated historical settings.

  • Dual-Path Progression: Switch dynamically between two separate campaigns to prevent getting stuck.

  • Historical Discovery: Learn real, bite-sized fun facts about famous classical composers.

  • Build Your Orchestra: Hunt down 50 specific musical instruments alongside regular hidden items.

  • Heartwarming Story: Experience a charming narrative told through cute 2D comic-style cutscenes, proving that true art comes from the heart, not a machine.
