- Охотники на музыку: Обзор People of Note - 26 May 2026
Музыкальная тема продолжает будоражить умы небольших независимых студий. Особенно это касается проектов, которые выпускает Annapurna Interactive . Помимо недавней звезды «священных войн» Mixtape , издательство выпустило в конце апреля игру People of Note . Iridium Studios поставила амбициозную задачу — создать целый нотный мир, в котором каждый город представляет определённый жанр музыки, от рэпа до гранжа.

- People of Note (PC) Review - 7 April 2026
When I got to try People of Note back in February, I was generally pretty impressed with what I was seeing. The hands-on demo itself was fairly short, but it gave me a pretty good sense of the concepts this game wanted to capture. Like I said then, when it comes to games published by Annapurna , you can typically expect quality, but Iridium Studios really sold me on its genuine passion for making something really special. I don’t know if I can say People of Note exceeded my expectations , since they were already pretty optimistic, but it was definitely consistent in confirming my predisposition. It’s a game that takes one core idea and hooks everything on it so completely and so creatively that it’s almost a miracle it didn’t fail. I guess it does pay off to do one thing right, if you’re going to do that one thing REALLY right. The story of People of Note concerns Cadence, an aspiring p…
- Sorry Girl, the Demo is now offline! - 31 March 2026
Hey everyone! We’ve been super grateful for everyone who played the People of Note demo and provided us valuable feedback, providing us many iterations and improvements to the final game that will launch next week on April 7! To keep our focus on that final version of the game and any potential post-launch patches, we have taken down the old (now outdated) demo.Also, today is the final upload in our musical number previews! Smolder, the ever-popular and devilishly charming boy band of Chordia, wants to apologize for any of their actions that may have upset our main characters. Smolder is led by Anthony, voiced by Griffin Burns, who some may know as Childe from Genshin Impact, Muichiro from Demon Slayer, and Akira Fudo from Devilman Crybaby! We’re excited for everyone to experience the full game when it launches on PC and consoles on April 7 at 6:00am PT. Go join our Discord server to co…
- Meet the rest of the band! - 20 March 2026
Hey, everyone! We are less than a month away from launch and that means it’s time to showcase more of our musical numbers! These two will round out Cadence’s core party (band) members in her journey to stardom and saving the world.Imposter from Synthia was written by Andrew Aversa, a.k.a. Zircon, and sung by Amanda Angeles. This song was especially difficult to write: EDM is not particularly known for lending itself to a musical number, and the emotional content of the song, about an artist struggling with Imposter Syndrome, was of a much more emotional nature than a lot of the other, more bombastic numbers. Still, we think Andrew and Amanda absolutely nailed it, showcasing Synthia's vulnerability while still remaining a club floor banger. Spitting Image with Vox was done in collaboration with Vox’s voice actor, Mansa "Wakil" Wakili, a Grammy-nominated recording artist. When we were loo…
- People of Note Demo Now Available! - 18 February 2026
Hey, everyone! We’ve got some exciting news: People of Note will be releasing on April 7th, 2026! To celebrate, we’re dropping a full, ninety-minute demo of the game as part of Steam Next Fest, so you can get your hands on the adventure early!In addition, we’ve got an incredible new gameplay trailer that shows off some of the more in-depth tactical combat and incredible puzzle-solving you’ll be doing across the world of Note. And, while it’s only the tip of the musically-themed iceberg, but you’ll begin to see some hints of the wider story and conflict of People of Note!The demo starts you right in the middle of the action, after Cadence has decided to leave Chordia in search of other types of musicians to add to her band. Her adventure has taken her to the Rock and Roll city of Durandis, an unfamiliar, fractured land. But here, there’s immediate conflict, and some smoke in the distance…
- Hands-On With People Of Note—Feel The Rhythm - 18 February 2026
It was pretty obvious that I would be interested in People of Note . Much like Devolver Digital , I’ve long championed games published by Annapurna Interactive , as their involvement is usually a pretty clear stamp of quality. And recently, I’ve seen a lot more games playing around with the idea of incorporating music in some unique way, so I was curious to see what this game had come up with. CGM was fortunate enough to get to sit down with Iridium Studios, who gave us a pretty extensive look at People of Note, and as the saying goes, they had my curiosity, but now they have my attention. It’s a game that looks to be overflowing with charm and creativity, all centred around the idea of using music for nearly everything. The presentation was led by People of Note’s Creative Director, Jason Wishnov, who spoke excitedly about his past experience in engineering—describing himself as a math…
