Price

3.99 USD / 3.99 EUR / 3.99 GBP for the first two weeks. That is 20% off the regular 4.99.
The discount runs until August 14.

Regional pricing applies and it is not a straight currency conversion. Latin America, South Asia, the Middle East and the CIS start from 3.29 USD before the discount, and Brazil, India, Indonesia and China are lower again. Your local price, already discounted, shows on the store page.

About the music

The game ships with 50 licensed songs, all cleared, all safe to stream. Every one of them has its lyrics timed, and those lyrics are what drives the combat.

You can also drop in any MP3 you own. The game transcribes it, times the lyrics and turns it into a playable level. That happens entirely on your machine and nothing is uploaded anywhere. If you stream with your own imported music, the rights to that track are yours to sort out, the same as any other footage you put online.

What is in it

8 playable instruments, each with its own weapon and passives
4 maps, 80 enemy types, 45 achievements
1,126 glossary entries driving 4,800 trigger words
31 languages
Windows, macOS and Linux, Steam Deck compatible

Why Early Access

I am one person. The game is complete and playable end to end, but I want the people playing it to shape what comes next, and I would rather fix things in public than guess in private.

See you in five hours.

Every upgrade, relic and path choice now has its own icon, designed so you can tell what it does at a glance. - All 45 achievements have new art. Each one is now a vinyl record with its own design inside. Worth a look at your collection. - Performance improvements in the busiest late-game…Game update10 Aug 2026Update 0.0.3: smoother loading and stabilityThis update focuses on loading behavior and stability. - The loading bar shown when returning to the menu now reflects the real progress of the reload. Previously it filled up early and stayed at 100%, which made the game look frozen. - Reduced the frame hitch that could happen while a run starts, when visual effects are prepared behind the curtain. The pause is around 20% shorter, with no visu…
