About the Game

Elliot is a small gnome living in a colorful, music-filled and happy gnome land with their peaceful Queen Adeline. One day Elliot wakes up and everything has changed.

You are the only one who can revive the symphony barren lands by playing remedial melodies with your flute, collecting runaway notes and stolen instruments, beating the mischievous bosses and releasing your friends from captivity.
