A musician simulator like no other
Forget everything you know about rhythm games and dive into the world of Concerto on White — a musician simulation that truly immerses you into the enchanting realm of classical music. Unlike typical rhythm games, you’re not merely hitting notes in time with the music.
Instead, you’re an integral part of the symphony, required to perform the main melody and contribute significantly to the overall masterpiece. Besides a more hands-on approach in terms of playing music, the upcoming game Concerto on White also overhauls the genre by interspersing academy life and visual novel elements to the gameplay.
Live the life of a music academy student
Set against the backdrop of the Concordia Academy of Music, players find themselves amid talented musicians co-creating a symphony of sounds. However, Concerto on White is not just about rhythm action — it’s an authentic musician simulation. It seamlessly blends rhythm-based gaming, musical simulation, and visual novel-style storytelling into an immersive musical experience. The story begins with your character as a rejected applicant to the prestigious musical university.
In a mysterious turn of events, the decision is overturned and you find yourself still enrolled. Following that, university life unravels on your first day. You’ll find that the gameplay brilliantly incorporates elements of a slice-of-life experience in the music academy, reminiscent of a dating sim, especially with the female characters. However, it’s more than that, proving so by quickly immersing you into an intriguing, larger-than-life mystery.
Its rhythm game mechanics are an innovative break from traditional ones. The left side of the interface resembles a vertical set of piano keys where players must swipe up and down to align the proper key to the center reticle, hitting the corresponding colors on the right that represent the pitch. This novel mechanic takes a lot of trial and error, though, so beware. Currently, the upcoming game is available as a short playable demo.
A game worth checking out
Overall, Concerto on White is a revolutionary musician simulator that seeks to redefine the rhythm game genre. Going beyond the conventional approach of hitting notes to a beat, this unique game immerses players in the grandeur of classical music and the life of a music academy student. Set in the esteemed Concordia Academy of Music, players navigate through an enthralling storyline with visual novel elements, coupled with an innovative rhythm interface that requires strategic maneuvering.
