Sailing With The Coffee Pirates - Wandersong

Wandersong is one of my favourite games and this bit where you're guiding a ship around the ocean with your song is particularly memorable to me
whenever you move the ship the sound of everyone aboard singing along with the music is dynamically played (as heard about halfway through the linked song)
