Design Pivot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This week, the design team made some changes to the game. Since the original design relied heavily on musical communication and music language, we introduced a new mechanic: scroll puzzles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In these puzzles, players must decipher music notes and melodies to solve challenges, allowing them to progress to the next step. Successfully solving a puzzle grants players a significant in-game object or teaches them an important word that will be used later in the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
