The mechanic is really cool. Love how different combination of notes can be used as tools to solve problems. Would love to have more hints or recall assists, because the dialog with npc could only be triggered once, its hard to recall the exact content or instructions.

Design Statement
The moment i heard the first seconds of the track -i thought of a purple-blue world and musical magic, and so i went from that! I also thought that the instrument of the main melody sounded similar to a kalimba, so i tried to record my own sound effects for the first time by playing my kalimba.
