Looks like I'm the first guy from russian youtube to record this game. In my opinion this game is about sadness and comfort, then freedom... Some of ghosts got really hurt and ugly some of them are usual and calm. Our music has the power to help ghosts so we use it, this game tells me that music can do literally everything to anyone and anything. As a musician I really appreciate it.
Guitar and piano, ahah. I'm quite not very good at the second one as at the guitar but I play it too. I like games on this website and especially I like unusual games like this one.
I'm the same - guitar is my main instrument and piano second. There are so many great unusual games on this site! I recommend Anatomy by Kittyhorrorshow if you have not yet tried that one!
This game was so very unique and I really appreciate the step to making that stands out. Mainly because it's so easy to make a short indie horror game that throws a few spooks at you and then you on go on your merry way. The atmosphere from start to finish was great, especially towards the end, and there was really no dead air! All and all this game was awesome and I really enjoyed it! Keep up the great work and I hope for more to come in the future!
Hi, trying to run this on windows 10 and it's very jerky and slow, is there a way to fix this or another way to run it? I really wanted to play and my system has run other games like this just fine.
I'm sorry to hear that. Are you running on Win10x86 (32bit) or x64? Althought the graphic style is retro this actually runs on UE5 and I'm not sure if they support 32bit OS anymore.
If you are on x64 then what are the rest of your system specs?
This is a great game and I like how you have a violin and trying to recruit monsters instead of running from them. Nice job. I'd suggest making a true full screen and ensuring the cursor is locked to the game.
Thanks for playing and uploading your video! The game should be exclusive fullscreen, but perhaps I've messed something up. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!
That's alright, thanks for playing and sharing! Really interesting to hear from a violinist, I just played all the parts on my keyboard because I'm a wimp and can't handle string instruments without frets XD
Hi, when i tried to run the game i was getting an error relate with this file api-ms-win-downlevel-kernel32-l2-1-0.dll, then i downloaded the file and now the game opens with black screen and sound (i can hear like rain or something) but i get another error that said The UE5-PSX Game has crashed and will close. What could this be?
Unfortunately I think your machine might not be up to running it. I tested it on my work machine with an HD 7850 2GB and it was running around 12fps. If you are on an x64 machine you can try installing the prerequisits for running UE5 games from this folder:
I had tried something similar in VR last year, but I might make another attempt soon and expand it there. For now you might enjoy my other one more called Daemonologie, which is more narrative focused.
La idea me gusto, pero siento que el juego es demasiado oscuro llegando a ser molesto. De todas formas es una nueva mirada de terror, fuera de lo tipico, buen trabajo.
English: I like the idea but the game was way too dark. Anyways its a new horror style, good job.
Wow, the game's gothic feel was very well used here. It was an excellent idea. And just knowing that it came out on the Haunted PS1 Jam, I can see that it's quality. Congratulations on your work here.
Wow, what a wonderful game it was, I loved every single thing about it, the music was soo beautiful, I would love to play a longer version of something like this, it was amazing, great job :)
Thank you so much! I worked really hard on writing the music so it's wonderful to hear people find it beautiful. Thanks for taking the time to record and share your experience.
I've never been into this platform. I just registered to tell you that i love the idea of the game. What a powerful songs. I like to buy games, but most of "indie horror games" doesn't make feel anything. Just 1 or 2 jumpscares. I hope that my 10$ help you a bit to keep doing this kind of stuff which is incredible.
That is much too kind of you, thank you very much! I spend a lot of time and a fair bit of money making these strange projects, and always make sure they have an option to download for free, but donations like yours really do help me to keep making them.
I really loved how different this was to other horror styled games. Firstly, I am a big fan of the PSX style so that was a big plus and the story/premise of writing a symphony as the main mechanic was a pleasant surprise! Really enjoyed this one! Would love to see more from you with this sort of creativity!
Thanks for playing! I usually try to avoid making my games about combat so I end up with a pretty weird premise instead. XD It was inspired by Niccolò Paganini who supposedly sold his soul to the devil to be able to play violin like he did.

Hello, Привет,
Looks like I'm the first guy from russian youtube to record this game. In my opinion this game is about sadness and comfort, then freedom... Some of ghosts got really hurt and ugly some of them are usual and calm. Our music has the power to help ghosts so we use it, this game tells me that music can do literally everything to anyone and anything. As a musician I really appreciate it.
It seems that you are the first! That's a very interesting opinion and I'm glad you shared your thoughts on it. What instrument do you play?
Guitar and piano, ahah. I'm quite not very good at the second one as at the guitar but I play it too. I like games on this website and especially I like unusual games like this one.
I'm the same - guitar is my main instrument and piano second. There are so many great unusual games on this site! I recommend Anatomy by Kittyhorrorshow if you have not yet tried that one!
Thank you so much. I'll look it up soon.

I'm Runnig windows 7 and i have an ATI 6870 1GB
Thanks for the game, it looks very original.
Unfortunately I think your machine might not be up to running it. I tested it on my work machine with an HD 7850 2GB and it was running around 12fps. If you are on an x64 machine you can try installing the prerequisits for running UE5 games from this folder:
SymphonyOfSevenSouls>Engine>Extras>Redist>en-us>UEPrereqSetup_x64.exe
If you are using Win7 x86 (32 bit) then I think you are below the requirements for a UE5 game unfortunately.
Oh i see, my machine is too old :(
I will try that, i'm running 7 x64 bits.
Thanks bro!
windows 7 is epic, never give it up friend.
Wow, I like supporting this new game.
What a lovely charming game! I adore the music too, any chance of the soundtrack being uploaded somewhere? :)
Yup, it will be going up on my Youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrNTheKCLjyp-lePbVczm4w/featured ) and a downloadable here on itch. Just need a bit of time to mix all the layers. :)
Awesome, I'll keep an eye out! Thank you for the reply :)
I love this game so much, great job <3 <3 <3
I loved the part in the prison that place is awesome
Thank you! I had fun making that part :)
Interesting idea...I don't know if you're going to put any narrative elements οr expand it!

You are absolutely right, always so many great games come out of those HPS1 jams! Thanks for playing and sharing.

Good work!!

It's a refreshing take on the genre that's for sure! And a really awesome story premise to work from!
