Just a little tidbit, because I didn't see it posted anywhere when searching for Alzbeta. If you play the instruments several times, the totem in the shop gets a green haze around it and awards skill point(s) when activated.
I think that's how I found out about it; I have a vague memory of a complaint about the thing's presence being uncomfortable or some such, anyway. Not that I minded the free points, though it was rather ugly!
