Project Introduction

Distraction Machine is a music composition puzzle game where you create music to uplift and inspire your community…during a zombie apocalypse! Fulfill requests from the survivors of Island City to help them with their missions by filling a music box with ‘cyclepunk’ instruments made from bikes and found objects. From there, create music using a library of loops or your own and learn a bit of composition as you go. Dialogue choices and your musical choices will define your unique path. Conductor Mode is a music-making sandbox where you can share your creations with friends to remix.
