So glad to see a horror game where what happened is what happened. Plot isn't inside the main characters head, character is not mad and is not hallucinating. Just a great story with high stakes that doesn't spiral into madness of "it was aaaall a dreeeeaaam"

What a strong idea for a story. They use a captured siren to crash ships and loot them legally because its on their property. But they have to feed it victims to keep it from dying, so they try to record the siren's music so they can do it any time they want. Someone pay these developers for the story and make this into a movie.

Couple things: Muses provided inspiration to artists. A Welsh hymn would make sense as what the Siren, or the artist, was inspired to write/sing by the Muse. They can't very well sign an Arabic hymn, right? "The 4 chairs" is a musical reference, too. In Orchestra, the players of an instrument will be ranked by chair number, usually based on skill. 1st chair being the most skilled and whatever the last chair is being the least (I haven't seen more than 4th chair being advertised, but anything else is like 4th - Nth place at the Olympics. Sure, you might place 7th, but we only really care about 1st through 3rd.) This had the practical effect of creating more "tracks" for a given instrument using parts designed for the specific chair, which allowed greater complexity and grandeur. Now there are two numbering systems, one being the ranking, and one being the parts, like 1st clarinet part, 2nd clarinet part, 3rd clarinet part, etc... which we call "tracks" in modern recording (like the difference between an 8 track soundboard and a 64 track soundboard.)

Wild how the follow up to this game is to have a wave based shooter akin to Call of Duty zombies. But story wise, it shows that the bad ending is the canonical one as Elizabeth has control while her daughter Arianwen opposes it. Having the player thwart any broadcasting to have the rest of the world descend into darkness.

No lie, in addition to the Welsh and Greek mythology influences, I am reminded of the film made for the Professor Layton series. It's the melodies being played together that made me think of it. There are two prominent melodies in the film which can bring a legendary city back from under the water, and during the final battle, the titular professor discovers a third melody that is used to defeat Descolé, a prominent villain for the series.
