❤ Narrative-Driven Gameplay

Players take on the role of college dropout Grace, who is granted the power of a Muse to unravel the mystery of her predecessor's death. The core of the gameplay experience is its narrative-driven, choice-based structure. Players guide the story through a series of dialogue choices and musical sequences, with their decisions significantly impacting the narrative, relationships, and the specific musical numbers that unfold.

❤ Musical Interactivity

One of the standout aspects is the integration of musical elements. During key moments, the narrative transitions into fully voice-acted and orchestrated musical numbers. Players' dialogue choices directly influence the style, tone, and content of these performances, allowing them to shape the emotional resonance and thematic direction of the songs.

❤ Branching Narrative Paths

The game features a branching narrative structure that responds to players' choices. Dialogue options, relationship dynamics, and even the specific musical numbers performed can vary significantly based on the path players choose to pursue. This encourages multiple playthroughs, as players can explore different narrative arcs, uncover alternative storylines, and experience a wide range of possible outcomes.

❤ Streamlined Exploration

The exploration is streamlined, with players navigating through a series of static, hand-drawn environments and engaging in conversations with the diverse cast of characters. The focus is on the dialogue, character interactions, and the musical performances, rather than open-world exploration or puzzle-solving. This approach allows the developers to craft a tightly-paced and narratively-driven experience.

❤ Accessibility and Replayability

The gameplay is designed to be accessible to a wide audience, with a simple control scheme and an emphasis on narrative choices. The multiple branching paths and variations in the musical numbers contribute to the game's replayability, incentivizing players to revisit the story and explore alternative outcomes.
