A Musical Story coming to Nintendo Switch in March!

16 FEBRUARY, 2022 – Digerati is delighted to confirm the release dates for A Musical Story, the new rhythm game experience and debut title from French developer Glee-Cheese Studio.

A Musical Story‘s innovative approach to rhythm games, which puts an emphasis on the player’s ability to listen and feel the music rather than simply following a visual timeline, combined with its striking animated art style and original, 70s influenced folk-rock-psychedelia soundtrack, has garnered critical praise since the game was first revealed.

A Musical Story Begins This Summer on Nintendo Switch!

9 March, 2021 – Indie publisher Digerati and developer Glee-Cheese Studio are delighted to announce A Musical Story for PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and iOS. The game is scheduled to launch this summer.

A music/narrative experience set in the 1970s, A Musical Story is part rhythm game, part interactive art, and uses the connection between music and memory as a central theme. There’s no text or dialogue – the entire story is told through the game’s original music (influenced by bands such as Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and Air) and distinct animated art style.

Starting work on the project in 2017, the four-man team at French developer Glee-Cheese Studio experimented with many different prototypes, each one exploring various story concepts, and musical and visual styles, before settling on a final vision for A Musical Story they felt would set it apart from other music/rhythm games.

“We wanted to make something different, something that would stick in the minds of players, both for its gameplay and story. It took a huge amount of time to find the right formula, but this one was the most inspiring,” says Charles Bardin, the game’s designer and co-composer.

“In most musical games, there’s a visual timeline, showing exactly when to play the notes. We’ve focused instead on creating an experience that relies on the listening skills of the player, so they must feel the music, understand it, to progress and unveil the story.”
