Notes[]
- Playing the Guitar will replace the background music and radio music for as long as the guitar is played. The original background music will resume immediately once you stopped playing.
- All the guitar songs were composed by developer Grzegorz Mazur.
- You can only make 1 guitar even if there's an additional broken guitar. Acquiring additional guitars by modding the game will make texts in Some Thoughts about the guitar will be gone, and the sounds will be mixed when playing more than one simultaneously. The original background music will resume when no one is playing.
- Whenever someone plays a song in the guitar, move your screen as far away as possible until their sound disappears. Clicking on the character playing/moving the screen until they're within ear shot will restart the song they were previously playing. This does not effect characters who can not play the guitar at all.
