Dead Pavane for a Princess
You are Maurice Ravel, noted composer. You must find a way to escape from your study, for your poor friend — now your zombified ex-friend — Claude Debussy lurks outside!
Yes, that is the game's entire shtick. Take a moment to savour the phrase "Dead Pavane for a Princess", after which I give you permission to skip playing the game. Dead Pavane took 5th place in Ectocomp 2013 in spite of its faults.
Reviewers said:
I didn't know much about the rivalry between Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel before I played this game, but it did inspire me not only to read about their relationship but also to listen to their musical styles for comparison
