After hours with People of Note, I feel like I owe it an apology as a result of my preview. This, the second game from Iridium, isn’t so much a music-based game than one about music. Instead, it’s better to call this equal parts RPG, narrative adventure, and puzzler — and each of People of Note‘s elements has been crafted with precision and care.

People of Note is a game that’s positively bursting with love for classic RPGs, music theory and culture, and the people who like both. It’s got an earnest, interesting story with diverse, likable characters, and smartly-designed, cleverly-implemented combat and stat-building systems.

Still, overall, it’s a rock-solid, highly-enjoyable experience, and I’d wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who likes good, ol’ fashioned turn-based combat and musical referen...
People of Note is about a land of music called Note, and the protagonist, Cadence, wants to be the top Pop songstress in Chordia through the competition Noteworthy. What begins as a simple dream becomes much more in this linear turn-based RPG. With a plot that barely gets there and an unlikeable main character, my feelings are mixed on this game.
