Haha. In all seriousness though, I think it's fine that others can play VNs without music.
I mean, it's surreal for me too don't get me wrong. If I tried playing without music, I think I wouldn't enjoy it as much as with music. It's great that they can do that though.
If they already enjoy how they do it, then let them be.
Don't be that person.

Damn did i start this music debate?
Anyways i came here to say my ear is finally healin!!
50% sound restored already, i cannot wait to blast the music again so that neighbors can hear it this time in the middle of the night.
And i was worried i couldnt play episode 9.. i have hope now
Usually when there is party music, it is a must i turn it up to 100%
You cannot talk me down, it just needs to be, not caring for my ears whatsoever
You may get tinnitus but it passes away

Ah, the good times.
I still remember that rainy night when i was playing episode 6.
You could hear the rain outside while i was in the dimmed room along with a fireplace
It was so cozy and calm its probably why i remember it so much.
I was on the part where Quinn joins us in MC's room, it was night and rain in the game as well and the music just hits perfectly

Randomly found an example of a scene where the music was removed (actually the entire scene was also hilariously dubbed - if you don't crack up when Chewy growls, there's no hope for you - and by "you" I mean anyone reading this shit, not specifically @Ilhares, I imagine you're already beyond all hope :p). So, for the definitive proof that music matters, watch these two clips:

It is exactly as you say. Without music this game would be quite different and not so memorable, the music gives the touch of "emotional charge" or rather "emotional complementation" that can predispose any that into something else. For example: the whole Spider-man 3 scene with Peter turns into something a bit cringe-inducing.


Still it's not to say that silence is art and is taken seriously either.

I played the game without music first. Even then, the rejection scene in Chapter 4 still hits hard without music.
So what you're saying is true. You don't need the music to experience the game well.
However, music does enhance the experience. It's like watching a movie with and without the soundtrack.
Also, similar to hearing a song from my younger days and it brings back memories of an event in my past, listening to the game music outside of playing the game and evoke memories of the story.
Listening to "Lonely" reminds me of the first date scene with Josy and "So Easy to Love" the dance with Josy.

I think it will also depend on the game and how much it relies on the music. Playing Leap of Faith without the music would be a poor experience as the dev really integrates the sound with the gameplay. Not so much with BADIK.

There's an urban legend that Eminem's "Stan" was written about how DPC kept writing to King SomboSteel :Kappa:

Yep. I recommend playing different playthroughs. As this is one of those rare VNs that has its replayability to a maximum.

No doubt about that. By the time the next update hits, I'll have like 6,7 saves prepared. Nothing compared to some others here, but more than enough to keep me occupied. Just no M&J (or Bella) path. :D

Why do we need saves if the update comes out once a year? :unsure:
I just reset all the saves and usually start every run with a clean slate. So the average time of each of my runs is 30-40 hours.:WaitWhat: But despite all this, I still have problems finding renders:FacePalm:

first thing I do when I start a new VN is kill all the sounds
mostly because I always have my own music I'm listening to. my room is quiet only when I'm sleeping overnight. if it's a day nap... music still might be on
but, the thing is, I can't really listen to music I don't like
with this discussion going on for days, thought I'd chime in with my 2 cents
I clicked about half the links/examples you guys posted in the past few days, listened to each song for at least about 30sec
and I can say the music would ruin this game for me. I hate most of the stuff I heard.
I mean, imagine seeing your favourite scene in the game and someone puts a song you hate
for instance, imagine someone putting Nickelback (couldn't come up with an example of a more hated band) over your favourite scene with your LI

but that's just me. some of you guys prefer it with music.
I like maya, other guys don't.
someone likes madame, us human beings don't.
we can't all be the same.

I have the same habit because the music in Being a DIK is not to my taste (and yet I love indie rock); I enjoy this game like I enjoy a good book, in silence.

The only part that annoyed me though, was that especially loud guitar riff that blasted off your ears when you started up the game. :cautious:

Have to agree, the title screen song is way too loud for its own good.


Could be worse though, it could have been Dragon's Dogma original title screen song which would make you stuck on it due to how good it is.
