Sanyin is a platform action music game. Under the Xuanhuan sky where the star rhythm has collapsed, use rhythm as a blade and dodge as a gap to rebuild the sound of the Heavenly Dao amid the glint of swords and shadows of blades.

Corrupted star officials are devouring the Three Realms with distorted sound waves, and the melody of all things is falling into irreversible collapse...
