A lighthearted, story-driven adventure with quirky characters and a whimsical tone.

What players say

Players praise the music-themed turn-based combat and charming pixel art, comparing it to Paper Mario or a deckbuilder without roguelike elements. It is a short RPG, around 6 to 10 hours, and fans of Rob Scallon find it a love letter, some wish for more content and a new game plus.
