Star Drop is a story and a rhythm game in one. It stars Aeri Stardust in Tokyo, 2003, whose private songs arrive before she’s ready to stand beside them.
How it plays
The story plays out as a visual novel: conversations, choices and the people who change Aeri’s year. The songs play out as rhythm levels with four lanes of notes, taps, holds and chords. You can play the drums, the vocal melody or both, always over the full recording.
There are ten chapters, twelve full-song levels and three endings, plus a practice circuit and a listening room. It plays with a keyboard or a controller.
Where it’s at
Star Drop is a prototype for PC. The first chapters are playable, and we’re shaping the rest of Aeri’s year around them.
