About This Game

Uncover the Truth of a Dystopian Modern-Day World

SONANCE is a pixel-art style, lore-rich Bullet Hell JRPG adventure with strong Deckbuilder elements, set in a decadent modern-day universe. Explore towering cities, rural towns and desolate mountains; interact with and befriend charming characters; and inspect everything you can to find secrets, clues and answers.

In the year 2026, the Earth has reached a grim state of decline. Sentient-kind is in danger of outright extinction. You must brace yourself and keep moving forward in this eerily familiar, yet brutal world. Focus, and test your skill in battles where you can SHATTER and TAKE your opponent's strength, or PURIFY and MAKE your opponent's mind whole again.
