TheSixthAxisJun 20185/10The Piano is an ambitious and interesting project that doesn't quite meet its potential.

Gaming NexusSean ColleliJun 20184.9/10The Piano could be a decent noir mystery but for now it needs a lot of work. Clunky gameplay, numerous graphical bugs and extremely poor optimization are holding this game back from telling its intriguing tale of murder and madness.

OnlySPDamien LawardornJul 20181/5 starsThat the game is such a disappointment is a true shame; its ideas are as intriguing and novel as any to be found across the vast plains of the indie sector. The Piano's strengths prime the title to embed itself in the hearts and minds of gamers willing to give it a chance. Unfortunately, the weaknesses are too many and the sense of discord across the production too high. Put simply, The Piano falls flat.
