A challenging rhythm game

Encounters: Music Stories is a two-handed rhythm game featuring cute characters. Each character plays a different musical instrument, and you must clear the way so the characters can advance and reach the final encounter platform. You can train each character separately, but to win a level you must coordinate both hands. In this game, precision in rhythm and coordination are key. If you enjoy challenging rhythm games, you'll love it. If you're unsure whether this game is for you, give the three levels available in the Steam demo a try.

What makes this game special?

Have you ever played any rhythm game where you had to simultaneously handle two different instruments, one in each hand? This game is challenging not only due to its unique spin on the genre, but also because there is a game mode where you can play entirely in the dark. Trust your ears more than your eyes! Are you brave enough to give it a try? In addition to its original concept, its gameplay is complemented by charming characters and sweet stories about a wide range of marginalized or underrepresented people, including those with physical disabilities, women in tech, the elderly, and the LGBTQ+ community, among others. As the developer is also a music composer, music in the game is tailor-made, combining adaptations of classical songs and original music.
