About the Game

“Does the moon cease to exist when I’m not looking?”

CASSETTE BOY was inspired by a question from quantum mechanics and lets you explore a world where what isn’t seen… doesn’t exist.

In this strange world that changes with your perspective, pursue the secrets of the missing moon.

A world that seems 2D, yet hides a 3D reality

At first glance, it seems like a 2D pixel-art world, but it’s actually a fully 3D structure.
Rotate the map to discover new surprises.

A puzzle that plays with what you see

In this world, things that aren’t visible simply don’t exist.

Change your perspective, move obstacles out of sight, uncover hidden paths, and solve puzzles as you journey forward.

Action-packed gameplay and boss battles

Along your journey, take up sword and bow to face monsters and powerful bosses.

Characters full of personality

Meet mysterious characters in this curious world.

Their stories and conversations bring depth, charm, and joy to your adventure.
