Viola is now available in Early Access
on
Steam, offering a musically themed platformer JRPG for Windows that's
planned for full release next year. An
Early Access Release
Trailer from a couple of weeks ago offers a look at gameplay. Here's what to
expect:
Play as Viola, a young girl trapped inside the fantasy world of a
magic violin. Follow her quest as she makes friends and unlocks the mystery of a
fantastical musical world. While platforming across the world you'll seamlessly
engage in turn-based battles. To win these battles you'll meet a colorful cast
of 10+ characters to join your party! Viola is not a passive RPG. Attacks
require the player to time their button taps, and to unleash spells you'll have
to follow a series of rhythm game-esque inputs.
Viola and her new friends will also play music together. Certain songs and
characters will unlock different passages and secrets throughout the world. A
humorous and emotional story, Viola is about learning to love yourself.
