A Musical Story

Digerati have announced their latest game for the Nintendo Switch: A Musical Story, a music/narrative game developed by Glee-Cheese Studio. It will be released sometime this Summer in Europe and North America.

Here’s a trailer, some details, and the list of key features for the game:

A music/narrative experience set in the 1970s, A Musical Story is part rhythm game, part interactive art, and uses the connection between music and memory as a central theme. There’s no text or dialogue – the entire story is told through the game’s original music (influenced by bands such as Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and Air) and distinct animated art style.

A Musical Story is a rhythm game set against a 70s backdrop. Explore the memories of Gabriel, a young man trying to come to terms with his situation through the connections to his musical memory. Each correctly played melody opens a new chapter into Gabriel’s past, bringing him closer to the truth.

• Rekindle Gabriel’s memories with rhythmic button presses in time with the music 
• Storytelling without words – discover Gabriel’s journey through music and visuals alone
• Gabriel’s story comes to life through a beautifully crafted art style created by Alexandre Rey
• A unique original soundtrack featuring 26 songs, composed and performed by Charles Bardin and Valentin Ducloux
• Play every song perfectly to unlock a hidden chapter

A Musical Story (Switch – eShop) comes out this Summer in Europe and North America.

Mozart Requiem

GS2 Games have announced their latest game for the Nintendo Switch: Mozart Requiem, an adventure game developed by HR Games. It will be released this October in Europe and North America.

Here’s some videos, some details, and the list of key features for the game:

Mozart’s patron, the Holy Roman Emperor Joseph II, is the target of a terrible conspiracy and the composer must unravel a trail of forbidden secrets to uncover the mystery. Set against the sumptuous grandeur of Prague in 1788, Mozart Requiem™ features challenging puzzles, gorgeously realistic environments, engaging character interaction, and an unparalleled classical music soundtrack.

It’s 1788 and Mozart has arrived in the Golden City of Prague to present the inaugural performance of his opera Don Giovanni. Though he received universal acclaim, the events shaking the capital will distract him from the music. Far from the footlights, a terrible conspiracy is underway, designed to de-throne Joseph II, the Holy Roman Emperor and Mozart’s benefactor. Bereft and manipulated, the musical prodigy finds himself plunged into the middle of a grand conspiracy. In the midst of murder, sinister intrigue and occult ceremonies, only his genius will help get to the bottom of this insidious plot before he himself is charged with murder!

• Full 3D third person gameplay with elements in first person
• The renowned Baroque city of Prague, accurately modeled on period maps
• Actual characters, personalities and intrigue from historical records
• Dozens of puzzles to solve
• Complete dialog development and intelligent conversation in character interaction
• Players must finish writing some of Mozart’s masterpieces to solve the overarching mystery
