hopeless concertos.— Concertae
Concertae is a recognized myth known for their game "Melodies", and their unique building and story. They began their myth in late 2023 and quickly took off, with many myths and myth hunters taking notice of their game. Their story is centered around a violinist suffering from the loss of their friend who was also a composer. The game delves into various pieces of Concertae mourning their partner, yearning for the past and wishing it was all just a dream.
Biography
Concertae is a young violinist and pianist. It is known that her parents were also musicians, and very proud of that fact. When she was young, Concertae received a violin from her mother, which she didn't play for a long time, but likely contributed to her fascination with music.
When she became older, she began going to a music conservatory. There she met "The Bassist", who was studying music theory alongside her. She began to develop feelings for him, admiring his love of music and his music playing abilities. Despite this, she was quite nervous to speak to him, fearing she wasn't good enough for him and that he wouldn't like her.
They would both begin playing music at a conservatory together, where Concertae played the piano in the big band. She was a trained pianist before getting to the conservatory, but would secretly begin playing the violin in an attempt to get the attention of the bassist. She kept the fact that she was a violinist a secret, although the bassist managed to figure it out as he heard her practicing late on the violin.
At the conservatory was another girl, who played the violin as well. Little is known about her apart from The Bassist and her being friends and them sometimes playing duet recitals together. This lead to some jealousy to build up from Concertae, with her theorizing about their relationship and fearing that she may be dating the bassist. Eventually, she would be kicked out of the conservatory. This lead to the bassist asking Concertae if they could help with his dual recital, which Concertae was more than happy to do.
After the recital, Concertae and the bassist walked each other home. During this walk, the bassist asked Concertae if they'd want to date. Concertae obviously answered yes and from there on out, they were in a relationship. Concertae and the bassist were happy together, and they loved each other. What she didn't know was that the bassist, was suffering from tuberculosis. It began with him mysteriously running off without much explanation, and then he began taking medication.
She would notice his dosages getting higher, but he continued to be sick. He would begin to take things slower, appreciating the time he had. She would ask him why his dosages kept getting higher but he never seemed to get better, but he would lie, stating he was getting better and it was just a cold. Sadly, his condition would keep getting worse and worse, but despite this he continued to lie to Concertae, saying it would only hurt her if she knew. One day, he couldn't take it anymore, and would end up taking all of his pills, which resulted in him overdosing.
This left Concertae alone and in mourning, wondering why he never told her and wishing she had done something about it, even if she couldn't have.
History
Concertae joined Roblox on the 15th of October, 2023, and created their game "Melodies" four days later. On the same day as their creation date, Concertae would post their first teaser for their game on Twitter[1], and a day later in Discord. For the next couple days Concertae would continue to upload teasers, eventually creating their game "Melodies" on the 19th of October, 2023. On the same day Concertae created their group "Composition" which was a fan group for Concertae. A Discord server would also be made for the group, where Concertae would also post teasers and communicate with fans. Later on, the badges "composition" and "concertos" were both uploaded on the 20th of October, 2023. After this the "sonatas" badge was also created on the 21st of October. On the same day, Concertae would officially release "Melodies".
After this Concertae would continue developing their game, teasing the idea of the game "symphonies" on the 24th of October, 2023, and posting an image of it the next day. The first mention of Concertae in a major myth hunting server occurred on the 29th of October, 2023, when their game "Melodies" was shouted in the group Robloxian Myth Hunters. This led to the game being discussed in the server, and many discovering the game and enjoying it. From there on out, Concertae would continue to be shouted often, with the game growing rapidly in terms of visits.
Whilst this was happening, Concertae would continue to update their games, eventually creating their next two badges "symphonies" and "weeping composer", which were created on the 1st of November, 2023. Later on the 20th of the same month, a video about Concertae would be uploaded by controversial user "RibaCameHere"[2], and a small Christmas update would also be added to their game. After this, Concertae would continue to grow, getting ranked in multiple groups such as RMH Myth Development, Paradox of Myths and Myths With Potential. Despite this, they would not update their game for a while, excluding a few possible small updates. The next large update would be teased and released on the 19th of May, 2024. This was the last update, adding the ending of the myth and the badge "finale".
In November 2023, Concertae created a second game, titled "Sonnets". At the time of writing this, this game has not been released, although the description describes it as a "novel game", meaning it will have a lot of reading in it. It appears that the game may be close to completion soon, as several badges were created in December 2024, signifying that some game mechanics may be functional and could be released soon.
Appearance
Concertae's previous outfit consists of a custom made shirt and the " - Suit" pants, several hair accessories such as the "Mega Low Pigtails Extension in White", "Low Drills Extension in White", "Loose Anime Messy Curtain Bangs in White", "Messy Short Anime Hair White" and the "Adorable Braided Pigtails(White)".

Personality and Traits
Concertae can be described as quite kind, often using lower caps in most messages. Concertae is also known to be quite quiet when it comes to certain topics, especially those related to her deceased partner. She is known to care for his things, attempting to keep them clean and tidy[2]. They also have a large passion for music, owning many instruments other than the violin, which they play.
It is also shown in her game that she has quite a lot of self doubt and insecurity over herself and her skills, always wanting to become better than she is now. This was also tied to her want to impress "The Bassist", as she had a crush on him for a long time prior to their relationship.
Game
Melodies
Melodies is Concertae's main game and only public game at the time of writing this. The game serves as a sort of hub for multiple subgames, each of which containing a badge used for progression in the myth. The games all use monochromatic lighting and a few use an outlined look, in which the game is completely black, with neon white outlines on every part. The main game mechanics in these games are exploration, with some items to find and puzzles which the player must solve.
Walkthrough warning, please attempt to hunt before viewing, click "Show More" to view.
The first thing the player should do is go to the desk opposite the piano and click the book with the title "Symphonies" written on it. Consequently, they will be teleported to a game called "symphonies". The game appears to be set in the music room of a school building. The piano present in it is closed. The player must find a key, which spawns in a random location around the room for each player. Once the player finds the key, they can unlock the piano. Then, the player must play a chord on the piano, Dm7. The actual notes the player must play are D, A, F and C. The player must do this fast enough or else it won't count. Once this is played correctly, the double door to the side will open.
Beyond the opened doors lies a hallway with three openings. The leftmost opening leads to a small practice room, scattered with notes near a piano, hinting at preparation or disarray. On the right, a locker room holds more notes, providing additional context to the unfolding story. The central double doors lead to a space filled with lively classical music, connecting to a teleporter that transports us to another hallway.
In this new hallway, the left room resembles a practice space, where notes reveal someone leaving a rehearsal unexpectedly. Another room houses a library with a laptop displaying an apology for the abrupt exit and a reassurance to continue with the recital as planned.
Further down the hallway, another room contains cryptic notes hanging from the ceiling, expressing phrases like “Why didn’t he tell me.” At the far right, a door opens to the figure of someone sitting in shadow. Surrounded by notes, she appears consumed by doubt. Across these rooms, the notes also reveal that someone has been taking medicine for undisclosed reasons, a secret kept from others.
Additionally, there is a teleporter in the form of a music note pillar, which allows the player to return to the first game.

Relationships
The Bassist
The Bassist, who is not clearly named anywhere in the game, is Concertae's deceased partner. He was the main bassist in the conservatory where Concertae performed and studied music. Little is known about his backstory in comparison to Concertae, except that he at some point began learning the bass and has a deep love for music. He would meet Concertae at the conservatory, with Concertae instantly beginning to develop a crush on him. They wouldn't begin speaking until later, when he asked her to help him with a recital he was having. From there, their relationship blossomed and they started dating.
During this time or possibly before he started at the conservatory, he got diagnosed with tuberculosis. This led to him having to take a lot of medicine and feeling a lot pain, which he withheld from most. This included Concertae, who he consistently lied to about his illness till the end of his life. During their relationship, the bassist would keep getting more and more sick, with nothing seemingly helping his condition. This resulted with him one day committing suicide by overdosing on his medicine. This left Concertae devastated and left wondering why he never told her.
The Bassist has been described by Concertae as caring, kind, compassionate, and a lover of music. She noted that she had never met anyone that had the same interest in music as her until meeting him.
The Violinist
The Violinist refers to a minor character, spoken about in "symphonies". She was the former main violinist in the conservatory which both Concertae and the bassist performed in. Little is known about her character, except that she was good friends with the bassist for some time. She used to help him during some of his recitals and they would often speak with one another and walk with each other. She was also the reason why Concertae began to play the violin, as she believed playing the violin would help her odds with the bassist. For an unknown reason, the violinist was kicked out of the conservatory, which was the catalyst to Concertae and the bassist's relationship.
