THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS SCHOOL

You’ve been taken to Harmonic Heights, a music school hiding a dark secret.

Play as Fret, a sentient guitar trapped inside. Hide. Distract. Dodge. Outsmart what hunts you, and survive long enough to uncover the truth.

SURVIVAL IS ABOUT CONTROL

Enemies react to noise, including yours

  • Break line of sight to stay hidden

  • Use objects and sound as decoys

  • Dodge and evade when cornered

  • Stun enemies with your evolving guitar tuner

 

MUSIC IS BUILT INTO EVERYTHING

Music is how the world works.

  • Solve piano, guitar, harp and other musical puzzles

  • Unlock new paths using memory devices

  • Complete puzzles while nearby threats force you to act fast

WHAT MAKES DON’T FRET DIFFERENT?

  • Stealth comes first. Dodge enemies, stay out of sight, and don't get caught by them.

  • The guitar tuner is your main tool. Use it to read danger, solve puzzles, stun enemies, and adapt as the game progresses.

  • Every enemy plays differently. Learning how they behave is how you survive.

  • Musical puzzles block your path and have to be solved to move forward.

  • Memories unlock new paths and help you understand why you’re here.
