About the Game

You’re one set away from winning the legendary $100,000 DJ Till Dawn prize (the rule is simple: keep the party going from 6PM to 6AM). BUT THEN! A freak turntable accident has left you with DJ-nesia. You’ve forgotten all your skills! Now, every night on stage, you must relearn your craft in real time, battle hostile crowds, and build your style from scratch.

DJ Till Dawn is a rhythm battler roguelite, where every run is a new night, every crowd is a new challenge, and every beat can save or end your set.

GAMEPLAY

  • Notes fall to the beat

  • Miss beats and you take damage

  • Hit special attack beats and you unleash DJ moves that damage the crowd’s HP

  • If your HP hits zero the set is over

  • Make it to 6AM and you win

ROGUELITE PROGRESSION

  • Defeat crowds to earn XP during the run

  • Spend XP on temporary upgrades: new DJ moves, more attack beats, bonus modifiers

  • Fail the night? You still earn cash for permanent upgrades

  • Every run makes you stronger for the next one

Each crowd has musical tastes, moods, and special behaviors

  • Learn what genres they love

  • Exploit their weaknesses

  • Survive increasingly chaotic nights as crowds grow larger and fight back

FEATURES

  • Rhythm gameplay focused on flow over technical difficulty

  • Crowd-versus-DJ HP battle system

  • Run-based progression with build crafting

  • Permanent upgrades between runs

  • Distinct crowds with unique preferences and abilities

  • Over-the-top audiovisualdisco style

A game made with ❤️ and dangerously high BPM.
