1.0 is here and it’s available for you to play right now – whether you’ve been here since the start of early access or stumbled upon Afterbeat yesterday, I’m so glad you’re celebrating this launch.
Set in 207X, a mysterious disease called "LNNS" has been ravaging the world. A lone Chiral researcher, Anna Schroeder, attempts to find the cure with her trusty supercomputer companion HAL. Stumbling upon various “Projects,” the duo decides to investigate the efficacy of a cure using a pulse/rhythm-based interface.

Robust Level Editor
A carefully designed level editor allows users to create their own levels and challenges using whatever music they wish.
