People of Note is a turn-based RPG where players recruit musicians to join Cadence on her quest for stardom. Combat is an interactive musical performance, incorporating rhythm-based attacks and genre-bending mashups. The game world is divided into distinct environments, each representing a unique music genre and culture. Customizable gameplay options allow players to disable puzzles or turn-based combat.

Iridium Studios developed People of Note, with Annapurna Interactive publishing. The game presents turn-based combat as a dynamic, interactive musical performance where timing attacks to the beat amplifies damage. Battle conditions change in real-time, requiring strategic synchronization with the current genre, and combining team members' musical genres unleashes mashup attacks. Players can explore Note, a world where music genres define environments and cultures, and customize their experience by disabling puzzles or turn-based combat.
