Encore
One more song. Faster. Don’t miss
Encore is a 5-lane rhythm horror game. Keep your band in time through rounds of the same song, as the tempo climbs. Each bandmate can survive only two mistakes. Then stage fright hits: the screen blurs, notes vanish, and lanes swap. One wrong note could cost someone their life.
Controls: D, F, Space, J, K

Shared Experience. We all get stage fright when we perform, and the stage-fright sections are what it feels like for us.
Human Generated Artwork. All artwork and music are produce by the amazing team of restless software engineers and product manager who can do a tiny bit of arts, ex-conductor now project engineer, and no time to relax UX designer.
Content note: stylized gore, flashing lights and jump scares. A Reduce Flashing option is in the settings.
Your band is broke. One night, your gig is cancelled at the last minute because the client would rather hear JamJamJam. While you’re stressing over where tonight’s dinner money will come from, someone suddenly gets in touch with an offer to play, for three times what the cancelled gig would have paid. The venue is a bar somewhere on the outskirts of town that you’ve never heard of. But you and your friends don’t have much choice. What else can you do? Money is money, and the pay is very good. So you all head out right away.
The bar doesn’t feel like any bar you’ve played before. There’s a heaviness in the air that you can’t put into words. Tonight’s audience seems more indifferent than usual, yet you can feel every one of them staring straight at you. You and your bandmates take a deep breath.
Screw it. For the money.
The first chord rings out. You play the song exactly as you rehearsed it. What you don’t know is that tonight’s performance is unlike any you’ve ever played.
Wait... didn’t we already finish this song? Why are we playing it again?
And who’s in such a hurry? Why is the tempo speeding up?
You can feel the crushing pressure of the audience below, and something starts to knot up inside you. Your hands are shaking and you’re drenched in sweat, even though the bar’s air-con is freezing. Your heart is pounding so hard it drowns out your bandmates’ playing. You haven’t had stage fright in a very long time, but it chose tonight, the night your lives are on the line.
One mistake means someone in the band dies. So keep your head, play every note right, and make it through the night.
