The festival is here. The music is everywhere, and it only gets louder as the main event approaches.

Too bad it hurts you.

You are tired of this. You have decided to seek a way out. However, it won’t be easy...

Playable misophonia

DETUNED is a bizarre game based on personal experiences with sensitivity to noise. It turns classic rhythm gameplay on its head: rather than hitting the notes of a song according to its beat, you need to avoid a randomly generated series of notes.

However, running around trying to avoid pain is not a socially accepted way of life in this town. You have a job as a pearl collector. Every time you arrive in an area, a pearl might be hiding in the scenery. Attention and constant movement will be the keys to your survival.

Twisted remixes

Every session of DETUNED is different. The songs will be remixed with gameplay changes every once in a while. Sometimes you’ll get to choose how to suffer, other times it will be up to a dice roll. You might be able to obtain items to increase your chances of survival… but only if you have collected enough pearls. Even if you make to the festival’s main event, there are 8 different endings depending on which special items you managed to get.

Audiovisual insanity

DETUNED’s graphics combine photographed doodles with pre-rendered lighting to create dreamlike images to look at while you succumb to stress. The songs haunting you are not the kind of music you know, but rather distorted recordings of random everyday noises.

Cacophonic controls

DETUNED can either be played with the mouse, the keypad or the keyboard numbers. Pick the option that makes your fingers hurt less… because your ears are going to suffer in both cases..
