People of Note

People of Note is a turn-based RPG where battles double as musical performances. You play Cadence, recruiting musicians while climbing toward stardom. Combat unfolds in turns, but conditions shift as fights progress—think tempo changes, key shifts, or dynamic stage effects that alter your tactical options mid-battle. Your recruited ensemble can combine their styles into mashup attacks, blending genres for different effects. The game treats each encounter as a performance piece rather than a standard fight, so positioning and timing matter as much as raw stats. If you've wanted turn-based combat that feels rhythmically alive without straying into pure rhythm-game territory, this splits the difference.
