A grand music archive once held countless melodies, but its precious records were sealed by a mysterious force and scattered across the universe, leaving many tunes silent. Players control two arrow companions from the Music Planet, traversing directional puzzles, collecting keys, unlocking lost records, and gradually restoring the music archive to bring music back to the world. The game combines strategic puzzles with collection-driven progression, forming a clear and rewarding loop: complete levels to earn keys → unlock records → rebuild the music archive.
