About the Game

An entire world reconstructed from a mysterious musical power struggles to survive. You are Echo, a curious explorer who stumbles face-first into the knowledge of the music’s dark secrets, and is tasked to save the world from oppressive... classical music.

- Experience a brand-new combat style inspired by rhythm games. Extremely similar to existing rhythm games, Beats offers a twist by incorporating traditional RPG elements to combat, as well as the addition of riffs, collectable rhythms that can be used to your advantage in combat. Health carries over to the overworld, so practice up!

- Explore 5 hand-crafted regions, each practicing and celebrating their own rehearsed form of music. Dazzled by your ability to deflect attacks, they each offer their own styles of music to test out your skills.

- Enjoy the Beats original soundtrack featuring 25+ tracks of different genres made by premiere musicians.

Beats is the culmination of my lifetime passion for music, gaming, and software development. I hope you enjoy!
