Szymanski not only never misses, but he never gets worse either. The Music Machine is essentially similar (very meaningfully so) to the previous fantastic title The Moon Sliver, but does it all better. A better story, better visuals, better place-to-place gameplay, better horror, and just a better time overall. It's just so good.
It's short form horror and it's cheap. If you're looking for a short-time-investment but very tense and conceptually horrifying game, this one kills it. I can't recommend it enough on that grounds, and there are a lot of times in the game when I was absolutely rooted to my spot, unable to move. Szymanski is masterful at always making you afraid not of what is happening, but of what could, and it's ingenious that he does that in games where you cannot die or come to harm. You only observe, and what you observe will chill you to the core. The Music Machine was fantastic, and is easily one of the best stories Szymanski has ever done.
