About the Game

Claviator is a rhythm-based adventure that brings a fresh spin to music games. Guided by your charismatic musical companion, Claviator, you and your friends will journey through a variety of themed worlds, playing along to 83 songs in total, 27 of which are rhythm tracks to test your timing and skills.

32 missions take you across four unique regions: Melody Isle, Rhythmic Farm, Sandy Sounds, and Pirate Beats.

Unlike traditional rhythm games that keep you locked in place, Claviator lets you move freely through 3D environments while staying in sync with the beat. Whether you’re playing solo, teaming up in co-op, or facing off in PvP, Claviator blends rhythm mechanics with movement and multiplayer interaction for a fun and flexible experience.

Take on story-driven challenges, battle it out in five distinct PvP modes, and choose between 4-note or 8-note input systems to match your skill level and play style.

Along the way, meet 8 charming Rhythm Animals: BIRB, MONK, GEK, SNEK, BOOP, CHONK, SQUB, and FINN. Time your moves across three buttons and hit Space to land the perfect note!

Key Features:

  • Rhythm Gameplay with Freedom to Move: Hit notes in time while exploring fully 3D worlds.

  • Adventure in rhythm: walk, jump, and navigate the world as you complete each track.

  • Diverse Music Library: Play a variety of well-known songs and original compositions.

  • Multiplayer Modes: Team up with friends or compete head-to-head in 5 unique PvP game types.

  • Story Mode with Claviator: Join your guide on a lighthearted journey through musical challenges.

  • Flexible Input Options: Choose between 4-note or 8-note control setups for an accessible or more advanced rhythm experience.

  • MIDI Controller Support: Play using MIDI drums and controllers for a true rhythm-game experience.

Whether you’re aiming for a high score, progressing through story quests, or just playing casually with friends, Claviator offers a rhythm experience that’s both creative and approachable.
