About this game
After rejection from the Noteworthy Song Contest, Cadence travels across Note to recruit musicians for her band. Different musical genres shape the places and cultures you encounter, while dungeons bring enemies and environmental puzzles into the journey. Combat combines turn-based decisions with timed attacks: striking to the beat increases damage, and changes in the battle's musical genre affect how you plan your attacks. Band members can also combine their genres into mashup attacks. Music extends beyond combat through cinematic songs performed by the main cast, connecting the band's search for stardom with a world built around musical identities.

AI review
AI reviews are subjective assessments, not player ratings. See each review for its evidence and limitations.Published date:
A distinctive prospect for players who want musical timing woven into party tactics.
Changing genres can make listening part of tactical planning, while mashup attacks give the band's musical differences a mechanical purpose. The strongest fit is a player interested in both turn-based choices and performing attacks to a beat.
Strengths
- Musical genres influence combat decisions instead of serving only as background.
- The band's genre combinations connect character identity with cooperative attacks.
Weaknesses
- Players who prefer entirely untimed command selection may find the beat-based attack layer less appealing.
Who it is for: RPG players who enjoy rhythm input, musical storytelling and combining different party abilities.
