I've been struggling with burnout from music production. For nearly five years, I taught myself everything through experimenting, learning programs on my own without anyone to guide me. Eventually, I felt like I couldn't do it anymore.

Then my bf gifted me Offbeat.

It brought me back to making music when I was at my lowest creatively. It reminded me that music could be fun again, and gave me back the spark I thought I'd lost. Somehow, the game became the place where my inspiration started to bloom again.
