As a notorious sucker for musicals – from High School Musical to The Book of Mormon – and turn-based role-playing games – I don't want to talk about how many hours I've spent in Fire Emblem: Three Houses, thank you very much – the musical turn-based RPG People of Note from developer Iridium Studios and publisher Annapurna Interactive is basically designed to play me like a fiddle.
I'd thought as much after seeing the reveal trailer late last year, and reading our own reporting from Tokyo Game Show 2025, and now that I've spent about 90 minutes roaming around People of Note's brightly colored world filled with strikingly cartoonish characters and backgrounds, I can already tell that I'm going to be obsessed with the game once it releases in early April.
