A quirky, tense tactical adventure where you manage quirky band members' moods and abilities while navigating surreal, procedurally generated threats.

What players say

Players describe it as a real-time resource management game where you balance band members' health against good and bad fans. It is deceptively difficult, requiring fast reactions and strategic thinking, and players note the rough translation can make item effects unclear.
