Independent narrative and game designer Jelle Van Doorne is ready to bring his musical platformer to the forefront on Steam. Viola: The Heroine’s Melody has been in Early Access for some time, but the title is releasing later this month.
Execute Harmonious Combos in Viola: The Heroine’s Melody
In this unique blend of retro and modern JRPGs, Viola: The Heroine’s Melody follows the journey of a lost musician. After failing her violin practice for the 100th time, Viola’s instrument sucks her into a fantasy world. As she ventures to find her way back home, she’ll encounter a colorful cast of characters who have instruments of their own. Composed with gorgeous pixel art, this solo title is a designer’s digital effort to tell a story about learning to love yourself.
Viola‘s gameplay comprises familiar turn-based action mechanics with a huge dash of side-scrolling thrills. Also, music plays a vital part in this indie title. Our heroine will learn more songs along the journey, and her new friends are there to unlock more than what she could do on her own. If you’ve ever played Zelda before, the musical features will feel wholly habitual.
