I rented it and played it through in one or two sittings. I remember finding it a very moving and maybe even significant experience, but I’ll be damned if I know why anymore. I think I might enjoy playing it through on the high difficulty (I played on the “musical idiot” difficulty) now that I have more skill playing by ear and stuff, might go back.
Drawing a blank on mostly the whole thing. You’re an apprentice or acolyte or something. Magical powers come from an interaction between your “distaff” (something used in weaving) and melodies that the user must learn and perform. Something bad happens and you go on a quest. You end up back where you started. There’s some kind of weaving metaphor. That’s about all I got…
“Tell them we chose death with Clarity.”
I haven’t played it since '91, but your reference triggered the memory. (Yes, I made an account just for this comment.)

“Damned” because you don’t remember the story or plot points? or because you do, and they don’t seem as affective?
