Thanks very much for playing and so glad to hear you enjoyed it! I got the idea from Young Frankenstein and if you haven't seen it then I highly recommend it. Very funny film with also a brilliant violin score. We need more games with instruments and a focus on audio!

wow!!! is there sheet music or something similar for this music? im learning violin and would love to play this

(+2)

Thank you! Unfortunately not, I have no formal training and can't write sheet very well. I score everything by ear instead. I might be able to convert the midi to sheet but I have no idea if there is a good software solution for this.

If it helps the chords in the verses are going back and forth between Cm and G. The chorus is G#, G, Fm (2 bars), G#, G, Cm (2 bars). And the lead violin plays on the C harmonic minor scale, so pretty much your standard minor scale but raise the minor 7th up to a major 7th.

Came here looking for the theme song, I just love it so much, thanks for makin this game! Really pretty aesthetics and the music's just *chef's kiss*

Youtubers - sorry about  CookingWithJack's  downvotes! You are welcome to post links to your videos under any of my games as long as you link back to the game page in your description. :)

great game! keep it up!


I am the reaper of youtubers, the mere mention of yout*be sets off a frenzy the likes of which will never be seen again. They are strong children, but I am beyond strength...I AM THE END, and I have come for you(tubers)...now fall.

(+5)

Not quite sure what you deal is, but Youtubers are welcome on my game pages and a gatekeeping, self-righteous edgelord attitude like yours is not.

(+2)

What has YouTube done to you? WHO HURT YOU?!

(+2)

Hiii, I've made a video about the game and wanted to share some feedback about it, hopefully it is useful to you ^^

-The idea/concept of the game is really amazing and original.

-The gameplay mechanic the game is based on is really original and well implemented with the level design and it's development throught the gameplay.

-Visually the game looks really nice and totally fits in every way the theme of the game.

Hopefully this is useful to you :D, also if you could subscribe that would help me a lot :)

Regards

What an amazing concept and game! The music of the violin was hauntingly beautiful! Would love to see more!

(+2)

Very cool game, got a bit lost there on the last guy.

(+1)

Thanks for playing and taking the time to find the last one! Sorry I'm not quite satisfied with the method of finding them as it can take ages if you miss one, but I appreciate you sticking it out!

(+1)

I'm having trouble finding the last one, is there an *extra* one you can't collect? She seems hidden, so I'm not sure if I got some bug or not.

Trying to avoid spoilers, so i don't want to just watch another's video. :)

Yes, there is an extra flat 2D ghost that is an easter egg for those that have played one of my other games. You can't collect that one. I'm just about to upload a new version with some quality improvements, like brightness controls and the ghost ring a small bell when you are not playing violin so it's easier to find them. Should be up in the next hour or so if you don't mind waiting.

Cool, I'll try it again. I didn't want to just play the whole time either, I tried to sort of see where a spirit should probably be first, so some kind of cue will help. Also, Ihave to say I love the atmosphere the game has. Just imagining being this dark ages violinist playing some eerie composition through the streets at midnight. Now I know what I want to be when I grow up, thank you! :)

(+2)


What an incredible unique game! I loved the atmosphere and the music, made it super relaxing until the end lol great work!

(+1)

Thanks for playing and sharing! I love how the violin is so versitile it can go from soft, sweet melodies to the atonal noises of nightmares!

(+2)

Wow this game is cool. The music especially is great. Gave me a whole new appreciation for violin. I'd appreciate anyone watching my gameplay and subscribing if you enjoy! 

(+2)

That was an unexpected weapon for sure, i really liked it, you should have added puzzle involving the violin!

(+2)

I have a new respect for violinist! I had no idea you had to deal with all that to get through a song 🤣Very nice game I think this is gonna be a finalist  

Full Playthrough No Commentary

Haha, you think that's bad you should see what the composer had to do! XD Thanks very much for playing and sharing!

(+2)

I really enjoyed how different his game was. I loved the gothic setting and the violin music was so sad. Very well done!

(+1)

Thanks for playing and sharing!

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.

(+1)

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?

(+2)

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. 

(+2)

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.

(+1)

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?

(+2)

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.

Here's my channel for other games I have played. https://www.youtube.com/c/Levont

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!

(+2)

I like the game, great. Sorry I got the name wrong for some reason...HAHA!

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

(+1)

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?

I'm Runnig windows 7 and i have an ATI 6870 1GB

Thanks for the game, it looks very original.

(+1)

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.

(+1)

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.

(+2)

Wow, I like supporting this new game.

(+1)

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. :)

(+1)

Awesome, I'll keep an eye out! Thank you for the reply :) 

(+2)

I love this game so much, great job <3 <3 <3

I loved the part in the prison that place is awesome

(+1)

Thank you! I had fun making that part :)

(+2)

Interesting idea...I don't know if you're going to put any narrative elements οr expand it!

(+2)

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.

(+2)

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.

(+2)

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.

(+1)

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

(+2)

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 :)

(+2)

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.

(+2)

Hi. 

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. 

Thanks. 

(+1)

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.

Thank you!

Absolutely brilliant! Loved the look, the music and the moments that made you feel uneasy. Great job!
(+1)

Thanks very much, glad to hear you enjoyed it!

(+2)

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!

Good work!!

(+3)

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.

(+1)

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