Tinkling the Ivories
Japan-based developer Rayark Games has announced a sequel to its attractive-but-haunting rhythm gameDeemo, currently in development for unspecified platforms.
Originally launching for mobile in 2013, before being ported to PS Vita and Nintendo Switch in the following years,Deemois a dreamlike tale of a young girl’s quest to escape a strange and mystical universe, using her exquisite piano-playing skills to encourage the growth of a tree that will lead her to safety. En route, she is helped by the titular spriteDeemoand hindered by the mysterious “Masked Lady”.
Deemoblended its strange fairytale with touch-screen technology to create a unique rhythm-action experience, as players tapped on-screen notes with their fingers in a pseudo “piano-playing” style. A teaser trailer for the sequel,along with a new website, offers little information, but we can already see that the contemplative style of the original title will be carried over into its sequel.
