DESCRIPTION: #

**PLAY ME A SONG is a challenging rhythm horror game mashup where you’re trapped in Hell. **You can only leave once you have performed every song in existence for him.
You will make mistakes. 
You will lose.
You can only make FOUR mistakes.
The last three songs are extra difficult.
Wear headphones for best experience.

Features: #

  • A challenging and hellish rhythm game experience.
  • Playtime is from** 40 minutes to an hour** depending on rhythm game skills.
  • **20 songs **included.
  • 7 piano voices including a recording of my cat. Use at your own risk.
  • Expansive modability – add your own songs/midis and even your own piano sounds.
  • Three different key-modes depending on skill level.
  • A musical band of very talented skeletons.
  • Some fascinating lore from a demon.

Played all of the songs already?
Try mastering them on 6-key mode.
You already did that?
Whelp, looks like you need to add some more songs to the game…

Modding Notes: #

If you want to add your own songs or instruments, take a look inside the resources folder. There will be a README file for both songs and instruments. The game should be reset after any new content is added or modified.

Known Issues: #

Recommended Keyboard Requirement: For optimal gameplay, a keyboard with at least 6-key rollover (6-KRO) is recommended. This ensures all simultaneous key presses are registered accurately during gameplay. Keyboards with less than 6-KRO may experience “ghosting,” where some key presses are not detected.
Sometimes background music will be out of sync, if that’s the case try resetting the song. Currently working on a fix for this.

Future Plans: #

  • I want to add control customizations and more accessibility features.
  • I’m eventually planning to release to Steam and link the Steam Workshop for easy upload and download of songs and instruments.
  • Will soon be looking into adding Linux and Mac support.
  • I’ll also be continuing to add and tweak the game based on any feedback.
