The Piano is a mystery adventure set in 1940s Paris, which combines puzzle-solving, survival horror and a haunting, deeply personal storyline.

Born to an American father and a French mother in the aftermath of the Great War, John Barnerway lived in the shadow of his three brothers. George, Louis and Valentine were renowned pianists - but when John is accused of their murders, he finds himself at the centre of a media witch-hunt that sees him traversing the lonely streets of Paris in search of answers. As John battles his own demons, he sets out to solve the mystery once and for all - searching the streets of Paris for clues, while navigating the darkest corners of his own mind.

The Piano invites players to explore both the present and the past in search of answers. Solve puzzles to access deeper layers of John’s memory. Fend off enemies who want to keep the truth locked away. Connect the clues, and solve the dark and harrowing riddle of the Barnerway case.

Part traditional survival horror, part story-driven adventure, and part noir-influenced murder mystery, The Piano is an unsettling and riveting indie game more than five years in the making.
