The end of Early Access is finally here: Rhythm Doctor is now OUT!
That means that you can now play the full story in Story Mode. We worked hard on it and had a lot of fun, so we hope you enjoy it.
There is so much else to say, but for now we're tired and we'll try to keep it short.
Let us know what you thought of Act 6, and also let us know if you run into any bugs! It's better to report bugs in our Steam Discussion Forum or on our Discord, or to email [email protected]. Don't leave them in the comments under this post, because we might miss them!
If you have any friends who were waiting for the full game, now is the time to let them know about the game!
Many people came together, between 7th Beat Games team members and also external collaborators and vocalists, to make this game happen. We'll give more extensive shout-outs on another day, but for now...thank you for playing!
All of your support over the years, getting us to this point, means the world to us.
For now, we'll be checking in, making fixes and improvements where necessary, and watching people stream the game.
Have fun!
