Description
About This Game
Every sky has an echo.
Hibiki Otonashi tunes the last bell of his grandfather's carillon, and the note never stops. It drags him through a stained-glass window floating in the dark and out into skies that are slowly being forgotten. At his side is Gonta: a chatty, cowardly and very loud bell who has no idea he is the memory of someone Hibiki loved.Real-time action, built on music
- Fast, airborne combat with a command menu, combos, finishers, perfect guards, dodges and aerial chases.
- Reaction commands: press one button at the right moment and a fight turns into a set piece.
- Musical forms, summons and team attacks: fight with two tuning forks, glide on four, call a Paper Samurai or a Smoke Whale, and ring the Double Chime with Gonta.
- Quaver Barrage: lock on to a whole swarm and let every note fly at once.
- Staccato, Resonance and Harmony magic, each with three grades.
- Your tuning fork transforms mid-combo into a bow, an organ or a drum kit.
Thirteen skies, each with its own song
Rusted pirates and a naval battle. A Halloween town where Gonta becomes a pumpkin-bell. A toy box with a city-sized metronome to climb. A frozen mountain you race down singing on an ice rail. A kaiju city and a giant mecha-bell. A Greek-Japanese underworld. A musical sea where Hibiki gets a mermaid tail. A black-and-white ink studio, a pixel world, an unfinished storybook, a lantern festival and a music box.Every sky gives Hibiki and Gonta a new look, and has its own guest, neighbourhoods, secrets and boss.
