Comment (by mystrw1):

 Gameplay testing issues:
 Game tested using Daily Build - windows-x86-64-master-705dd7f9 dated
 02/20/2026
 - As previously noted, toward the beginning of the opening cutscene,
 during the close-up of the newspaper, the bottom-right quadrant of the
 screen is black, whereas the other 3 quads. display the newspaper
 properly.
 - As previously noted, Save/Load systems fail and the game crashes to
 desktop.
 - Inside Box Office: At the desk inside the box office, open the 2nd
 drawer and catch the rat.  Rat goes into inventory.  As you close the
 drawer, a brief picture of the rat flashes on-screen then disappears, even
 though the rat is now in inventory.
 - There appears to be an issue between cycling the Options menu toggle
 switch (lower-right corner of gameplay screen...) and then attempting to
 obtain inventory items.  If you cycle the toggle switch to visit the
 Options menu and then return to game-play screen, attempting to take an
 inventory item (ex.- screwdriver in box office), the game freezes
 momentarily and then crashes to desktop.

 - Navigating the learning areas (accessed from either the Options menu or
 in-game links...) had the following noted issues :
 - Within the "Music Examples" learning link, when you click on some
 informational text links in many of the Composer information book Table of
 Contents (ToC) (ex.- Mozart's book opens to a red CD jewel case ToC w/
 links to both informational text and audio clips...)  The "return" arrow
 (lower-left corner of screen...) does not return properly from some
 informational text screens back to the ToC properly and may need multiple
 clicks to finally return.
 - Within the "Music Theory" learning link, the "Twelve Tones", "Scales and
 Keys" and "A Short Lesson in Harmony" books all briefly flash their ToC
 but then proceed to display a learning page (should just remain on the
 ToC...)
 - Within the "Music Theory" learning link, the "Rythem" and "Melody and
 Form" books both briefly flash their ToC but then proceed to display a
 blank white screen (should also just remain on the ToC...)
 - Within the "Instruments" learning link, click on any of the various
 instruments.  When you click on their small "Movie" windows, a single
 video frame quickly flashes but then immediately ends and closes without
 completing the video.  Also, the information text box below the "Movie"
 screens do not currently scroll to allow viewing of all contained text.
 - Within the "Music History" learning link, no issues noted. Informational
 text screens in this section scroll properly to allow viewing of all
 contained text.
