To play the game, download the files and unzip them using the tool of your choice.  The game currently supports Xbox and PlayStation controllers, however please note that some in-game instructions may reference the keyboard controls.

Included in the folder are instruction notepad documents. We recommend you read through either the Keyboard or Controller versions depending on your setup (there is also gameplay instructions down below!).

If you encounter any issues that prevent you from playing the game, we'd love to hear about them down in the comments below, on our discord channel, or at our email at resonancegamescommunity@gmail.com!

TIPS:

Battle in Resonance Rhythm in You takes place on the beat of the song. Each action should be timed to the beat. Enemies will also perform attacks on the beat.

Rhythm acts as a type of mana. Each successful attack and block accumulates it. Gathering Rhythm (see above controls) on the glowing Beat Pulses travelling across the screen will gain you a whopping 5 rhythm! Careful though, as mistiming an action on the beat will lose you 5!

Enemies will follow patterns of actions that you will pick up on as you get into the flow of combat. Timing attacks and blocks is key- though if an enemy is pressured by your attacks too much, they will enter a revenge state. A fiery effect appears and they cannot be hurt - so play defensively when this occurs!

Once you reach the end, you will need to manually close the game (Alt + F4). We are hoping to get full menu support in the next build.

Lastly, if you run into any game breaking bugs or just want to try a section again, we've included handy checkpoint hotkeys. To avoid spoilers, we've put those in the bottom of the included instructions notepad document.

This project would be nothing without a host of talented developers' hard work and the support of our friends, family and, of course, you the community!
