Hello readers and gamers!
Viola is not far from releasing into Early Access. Let's talk about some of the things you'll see when playing!
Explore!
Viola is a hybrid of Platforming and JRPG. Rather than walking around in an overworld, potentially being stopped by random encounters, you're free to jump and run around the levels as you please. Don't want to fight a monster? Just go around!
Viola is trapped in Vylna: a world created by nine gods known as the Patrons. Vylna's inhabitants still worship these gods, relying on them to protect them against the monsters that roam their realm.
With Viola's arrival, a second dark sun has appeared in the sky, causing monsters to become more wildspread and dangerous...
Battle!
Let's have a battle beyond measure! If you touch a monster, get ready for a fight! You can attack, cast spells, use items, or defend your party members. However, Viola is not a passive RPG: attacks require a bit of rhythm to deal extra damage! But if you mess up, you'll deal less, so be ready!
Spells take a bit more effort: you'll have to mash, press, or hold buttons that appear on-screen! They are consistent, and can deal a lot of damage, heal your allies or raise and lower stats. By taking damage, you build up CP: points you can spend to unleash a powerful Crescendo!
Play!
Viola isn't musically-themed for nothing. You can play and learn songs, which can unlock passages, stories and more. The characters in your party will even play along with you!
That's all for now! Stay tuned for more!
See you, Violin Girl! Someday, somewhere!
