Keylocker, an unforgiving turn-based cyberpunk rhythm JPG, developed by Moonana and published by Serenity Forge, is inspired by the Mario & Luigi RPG series and Chrono Trigger.
Players take on he role of singer and songwriter B0B0. “Fuel your moves with the electric power of music in this unforgiving planet by using real-time execution of moves in rhythm game style!” write the developers. “Battle the authorities, unlock the secrets of Saturn, play on your own bands’ concerts and hack into the network to bring an end to this corrupt system, for better or worse.
Keylocker features multiple paths, each with a unique skill tree and storyline, and classic turn-based combat with a twist: the active abilities take on a rhythm game style. The game features no random encounters, much like Chrono Trigger. The player can befriend or betray NPCs, which influences your path.
The game features composition by Elektrobear (Momodora, Virgo Versus, and The Zodiac), with vocals Psamathes.
The developers describe the plot as:
| Saturn, Anno 801. |
| Music is banned for 141 years now. |
B0B0 is one of the Doppelgangers, twins born as perfect human beings fit to obey the purpose of the caste they were assigned to. Her purpose is to serve in the lowest caste for the prosperity of Saturn, but B0B0 doesn’t quite agree to that. Amidst a revolution against the Saturnian Satellites, the ultimate form of law, B0B0 hears news of a newfound music robot that’ll fit right in her illegal band as a drummer. Rebelling against the corrupt system using music is the only thing she knows how to do well and she only needed a drummer to join her pack of misfits. With every piece in place, she’s out to break some laws, and discover the truth behind the essence of music, the Keylocker.
You can find Keylocker on Steam.
