About the Game

You're the lead guitarist. Your drummer is drunk. Your bassist is missing. The venue opens in two hours.

This is not a setback. This is Tuesday.

Rock Band Simulator is a first-person rock band life sim about surviving seven days in a rough 1990s neighbourhood, keeping your band alive, and somehow making it on stage every night.

Play gigs. Explore the city. Take odd jobs. Start fights. Make terrible decisions. Upgrade your garage. Collect records. Try not to get knocked out before soundcheck.

The game takes place over seven days, each with new main quests, side quests, random events, mini-bosses, and increasingly worse ideas.

One day you're helping your drummer out of trouble.

The next you're arguing with the police, breaking into abandoned garages, or wondering why that guy keeps staring at you.

At 21:00, excuses stop working.

Jump on stage and perform rhythm-based concerts where you choose what to play next, control the flow of the set, and finish the show whenever the moment feels right.

A good gig builds your reputation. A bad one... builds character.

Explore a neighbourhood packed with drunks, hustlers, mechanics, promoters, gangsters, and people you should probably avoid talking to.

Or don't.

Most of them have work for you.

None of them pay enough.

Evgen keeps everyone moving, even if half the time he's running on coffee and bad decisions.

Diman somehow turns every simple job into a story you'll never want to explain.

Keeping the band together is almost harder than playing in it.

MAKE THE PLACE YOURS

Upgrade and customise your garage, your car, and your character. Collect:

  • Rare vinyl records

  • CDs

  • Photos

    Grow your in-game social media, and fill your base with everything you've earned... or stolen.

Forget health bars.

The Adrenaline (ADR) System changes how you survive.

Beer, cigarettes, and other substances all affect your state, changing how you fight, explore, and make it through the day.

THERE'S ALWAYS TOMORROW...

...unless there isn't.

Your reputation grows, new opportunities appear, relationships change, and your week can end in more than one way.

Just remember.

The concert starts at 21:00.

Try to be there.
