About the Game

A world swallowed by darkness — only music can bring back the light.

Environmental collapse has plunged the world into darkness.
Six chosen girls perform music to generate Luminous, a mysterious energy of light.

The project to illuminate the world through music begins now.

About Luminous Project

Luminous Project is a casual rhythm game designed for both beginners and experienced players.

The challenge of this game is not the speed of incoming notes.
Players must visually recognize the notes appearing on screen, mentally map them to keyboard inputs, and execute precise simultaneous key presses.

Success depends not only on reflexes, but on perception, recognition, and accurate input control.

See. Think. Press.
Experience a new style of keyboard performance where vision, cognition, and action become one.

Features

Designed with accessibility in mind, the game offers a wide range of difficulty levels so even rhythm game newcomers can play comfortably.
The simple key-press gameplay allows players to naturally improve their skills over time.

At the same time, challenging multi-key simultaneous inputs create unique gameplay that tests coordination and decision-making rather than pure speed.

The game includes 120 songs in total.
Each character features music from different genres, providing a diverse musical experience.

Gameplay

Controls are simple:
Press the corresponding keys in time with the falling notes.

Two types of notes appear:

  • Tap Notes

  • Hold Notes

Maintain long combos by avoiding mistakes.
Clear a song by achieving 80% completion, and aim for a Full Combo (100%) by mastering each chart.

Difficulty Levels

Every song includes three difficulty settings:

Easy / Normal
Accessible modes suitable for beginners or casual players.

Hard
Designed for experienced players, featuring highly challenging charts.

We recommend starting with Hard difficulty.

Quality-of-Life Features

Customize the experience to match your play style:

  • Timing Adjustment
    Fine-tune note timing if audio and notes feel out of sync.

  • Customizable Key Bindings
    Default layout uses six keys: S / D / F / J / K / L

  • Skip Mode
    Jump directly to later sections of a song to practice difficult parts.
