Learning piano, huh? It’s kind of that classic “oh man, where do I even start?” situation. But guess what, there’s this little twist with a game called PianoCafe by Plai Technologies. I stumbled upon it and, trust me, it’s not your typical piano gig.
So here’s the weird part: It’s not about just hitting the right notes like you’re in some epic concert (like that other game, PianoVision, ever heard of it?). Nope, here you’re playing chef—yeah, really! Your piano keys are, well, ingredients in some quirky kitchen scenario.
Picture this: You’re a short order cook. Your weapon? A piano. Ghostly diners appear, craving your… musical sandwiches? Play a C major for some bread, F major slaps you some cheese, A minor tosses in the meat, and G major? Lettuce to top it off. Makes sense, right? Or maybe it doesn’t… that’s the charm.
But hey, don’t expect this thing to make you a concert pianist or anything. It’s more like a baby step into the wild world of piano. Think of it as finger yoga or something before you dive into the nerve-wracking sheet music jungle.
Now, a heads-up—you’ll need a MIDI-compatible keyboard. Why? Because they’ve got this tech thing going where your piano talks to the app. If you’re into that MIDI stuff, great. If not, just wait, they’re working on a camera feature to peep your acoustic piano keys without all the nerdy tech gear.
And before I forget (which I totally almost did), you can throw it on your wishlist. It’s landing on the Horizon Store on July 30th for Quest 2 and beyond. Why July 30th? Beats me, but I’m kind of intrigued. Check it out if you want some bizarre piano fun. Or not. Up to you.
