Our take on A Musical Story

Players may bounce off at the timed button presses if following each melody is not appealing. Completion-focused players may also stop after the main run, since the longer 4–6-hour path depends on perfect ratings across all chapters.

What is A Musical Story?

Set in the 1970s, A Musical Story combines rhythm-based play with Gabriel’s recollections as he faces his circumstances.

Players match button presses to musical passages, revealing sections of his history and gradually bringing him toward the truth. Music and imagery convey the narrative without dialogue. The game contains 26 original tracks, and flawless performances across the full song collection reveal a secret chapter. Most players finish one run in about 2–3 hours. Earning perfect star scores throughout every chapter can extend the total experience to approximately 4–6 hours.
