This puzzle adventure follows an enigmatic archmage and musician who uses magic and music to create a demiplane of memories. The hall is a place filled with echoes of the past, carefully crafted illusions brought to life. Your guide Anari invites/summons visitors into this space, giving them the opportunity to earn an audience with the archmage...unbenown to him.
Characters must solve a number of puzzle rooms to obtain the memory's Song Sphere. When enough Song Spheres from the rooms have been obtained the path to The Composer will open. An audience with the archmage allows the players to ask him one question each that he will answer truthfully to his knowledge before sending them home/elsewhere.
I run this as a 2 random room one shot or a 5-6 session short adventure.
I am always looking for players to run through this to test with.
This adventure is meant to be an emotive piece and includes some darker themes such as depression, addiction and death. I want everyone to feel comfortable and safe, so if these themes are not something you want to engage with this may not be the game for you.
The dungeon can be run all as all 10 rooms chronologically or as shorter sessions where only a few of the rooms are done. I will decide with the groups which format they would like to play.
The Project
This is built off a wider story I wrote and ran from a different platform that I am currently working to convert to vTTRPG. I have spent over 130 hours DMing this dungeon and far far more building the initial sets and remaking them as maps.
At this stage the focus is primarily on the puzzles so I can improve the maps, hint system and gauge pacing and difficulty for VTTRPG. There is NO COMBAT in these initial one shots, it will be introduced in later versions.
It is designed so that it works as a stand alone short adventure or modular to fit the needs of a larger campaign. I aim to create an emotive experience that utilises music to enhance both the storytelling and the atmosphere while tugging at your heart strings.
The project is still a WIP, so feedback will be asked for.
The Game
I am looking for players who enjoy puzzles and emotive storytelling, new or experienced alike.

Disclaimer:
Please note: This adventure does utilise Suno generated songs for the completion of each room. I understand that the use of AI might not be everyone’s cup of tea. If you’re not comfortable with that aspect, I totally respect it and just ask that you keep in mind this project isn’t for everyone and refrain from making it an issue. If you’re okay with it, I’d love to have you on board.
While I am working on trying to have them remade by humans this is an expensive and slow process.
