Thank you very much for your nice review, glad you liked our game and congrats on making it to the end, it can be a bit of a challenge at times!
For the instruments, you’re not totally wrong, the closer you get to a dwarf, the louder you start yo hear his instrument, until you pick him up and he joins the band at full loudness :)
I’m afraid to tell you that’s it’s your mind playing tricks on you for the death part, haha! We had something planned for the death but couldn’t build it in time for the web version but a little birdie told me it might be available in the Windows build... :P
