About the Game

Play the beats you usually study/relax to! 📚

LOFI Katana is a VR rhythm game with a unique atmosphere inspired by everyone’s favourite late night playlists.

Leave your room and head to the highest rooftop. Find your musical sanctuary away from the city noise. Hit the shurikens with your katana and wave your fan to the rhythm of the music.

Don’t stop the music!

After mastering all the songs in the game, generate your own gameplay based on your favourite music. LOFI Katana uses a sophisticated procedural system that analyses the song and creates custom levels matching the rhythm and beat of any track.

Gameplay

Enjoy your music with simple but challenging sequences that blend dance and combat:

  • In Classic mode, flip your fan to match the incoming ones, and wield a katana in your other hand to slice the flying shurikens coming towards you.

  • Select your difficulty level, from a calm and relaxing routine to a more challenging and energetic session.

  • Try out the alternative modes: “Only Fans” and “Only Katanas” for a new take on the Classic gameplay.

  • LIV integration available for streamers and influencers who like to dance and move along with their favourite music!

The light and the environment around you change procedurally with the music. Feel free to take some time to relax and enjoy the cosy vibes.

Experience the atmosphere around you reacting to your actions and immerse yourself in the flow of your favourite tracks.

To integrate your music, you will simply need to drag your MP3 or WAV files into the /Tracks folder of the game. Our Algorithm itself will take care of creating a deterministic gameplay from the song and generating a level from the parameters you have chosen.

If you are looking for an escape to a relaxing world, this is the perfect game for you!
