Ending The Song is a short puzzle/Adventure game about working out ideas and paying attention to failure. it's easy to try, but tricky to finish. Audio is required for the full experience, since the core of the puzzle revolves around sound. It's interesting how blinding habits and known patterns can be, and this demonstrates that well. People tend see the obvious sequence, and therefore almost entirely ignore the proper solution the first few tries…
The biggest issue with this project was getting started. I started with the music box, an idea based on The Room games and Year Walk's strange box. My initial idea was far too complex, and the following ideas wouldn't work for the assignment for one reason or another. Eventually i simplified my initial idea, and went with that.
Lots of stuff came out in play testing- mostly minor tweaks and adjustments and bugs- but that added up immensely. Certain things were removed such as the randomizer for the key wind times, and things were added like the custom cursor.
