About The Piano
Accused of his brothers' murders, failed pianist John Barnerway searches for answers on the streets of post-war Paris. Part traditional survival horror, part noir-influenced murder mystery, The Piano is an unsettling and riveting indie adventure.

Everything about this premise sounds incredible. Then.. why oh why couldn't I get into it? It assaults the eyes and generally feels bad to play to me. :/ (Advanced jank.) The only objectively significant thing I can give you is the following advice. Don't jump into The Piano. Watch a gameplay trailer or walkthrough first, then decide if it's worth the time investment. This is strongly advised in this case.8 found this helpful

The Piano is a really poorly concepted "art" game that tries to blend an incredibly pretentious arthouse concept with 3D action/adventure gameplay and fails abysmally. For starters, this is a game for nobody. Nobody played DooM and said, "Well, this is fine, but does this make me truly contemplate existence in a metaphorical and philosophical sense as only a true artist could stir the inner psyche through layers of abstraction? Does this wrench us from the quotidian through the symphony of abstract pigments and visual accoutrements?" No, nobody played DooM and said that. Because that's not what action gamers want. Neither did anyone peruse works of art by Van Gogh, DaVinci, Bellini, Bramante, Hans Holbein and say "Well this is fine but I wanted more interactive violence". So it's a game designed for a niche that doesn't exist, and on top of that it's implemented badly. Before going into the usual faults and defects we expect from amateur made games, the biggest killer here is just terrible camera angles, control and handling, coupled with frankly garbage arthouse visuals that just deter from the gameplay experience as you wonder what the heck is going on. As an art piece,…4 found this helpful
Got stuck in this game and couldn't find how to continue. Finding walktroughs in the intertnet is also impossible, couldn't really find any, wonder why, nobody could even finish the game :'(. Rerget playing.
It is with a heavy heart that I must give this game a negative review. Even with all the cons I had with the game I still had a good time with it. But at this time, with the current state that the game is in, I can not recommend this game to anyone. I do hope that the devs come back to this game and fix the bugs in this game. Although I have little hope in that as they haven't touched this game since 2018. Pros: - Decent voice acting - The visuals are fantastic! - The music is great. I especially love the piano scores used in this game. - Story is enough to keep you engaged! - The variety in monsters and how they acted/looked were pretty cool. Cons: - Voice acting can be a little hard to understand. Especially in some of the collectable memories. - The subtitles are delayed. -Getting stuck on ledges and stairways. The only way I found to get around this was to spam the space bar. Also in the asylum I had trouble getting the character to go through doorways as he would get stuck. - The same would go for hiding behind walls as it was either hit or miss as to whether the character would choose to hide behind it or not. - Some areas were incredibly dark. So much so that I would get l…
DON'T PLAY THIS GAME! I know it looks fun but its not! you think that because its an old game it would have less bugs and glitches it's not. It takes all your key items and it will make you start the game from the beginning at any point in the game. Even though it's a low graphic and low processor game the fps drop is a whole other level. Don't fall for the mixed review thing like I did. I was forgiving with the visual quality because the plot was what I'm after. Holy hell I regret it until the day I die. This is not worth your time nor your money. The community of this game is dead and there is a reason why you can't find any walkthroughs or can only see intro playthroughs about this game. It sucks asssss.
