Players Like...

❤ Rapid-Fire Combat

Players control a party of up to three characters, each assigned to a different button on the controller. During battles, players must rapidly press and hold these buttons to execute each character's unique "psych" or special attack. This creates a fast-paced, rhythmic combat experience that requires players to constantly switch between party members and coordinate their attacks. The combat system further expands with the ability to "chain" battles together, increasing item drop rates and rewards. Players can also lower their own party's HP to gain an increased item drop rate, adding an element of risk-reward to the gameplay. Additionally, equipping various pins grants additional abilities and passive effects to characters, allowing for significant customization of playstyles.

❤ Progression and Customization

Character progression is driven by leveling up, which increases maximum HP, and consuming food, which provides boosts to various stats. This food must be "burned off" by engaging in battles, creating an ongoing loop of eating, fighting, and optimizing character builds. Players can also customize their characters' appearance through a wide variety of clothing and accessory options, known as "Threads." These Threads provide additional stat boosts and can be further enhanced through the game's crafting system.

❤ Exploration and Traversal

The game world is a highly stylized and vibrant recreation of Shibuya, Tokyo. As players navigate this urban environment, they engage in exploration and puzzle-solving, using their party's abilities to interact with the environment and uncover secrets. The movement and traversal mechanics provide a sense of fluidity and momentum as players dash through the city streets.
