Relapse (2026)

It's brand new so it definitely has its hiccups, but the solo dev is working really hard implementing a bunch of community suggestions and bug fixes every day. The community is growing and there's already a large pool of custom maps to discover in the discord as well.

Definitely worth for inspiration, the gameplay is quite unique in how it makes you create the timing in your head rather than react to a bunch squares hitting a line. I also liked the soundtracks for the story, definitely didn't disappoint on the time intervals like 15/8 or the extremely dissonant harmony. 9/10 would love to see more in the future

A cute, challenging, and lovely game. I thoroughly enjoyed it as a seasoned rhythm gamer and felt comforted by its message. Thank you for making this game!

It's not often that games resonate with me to the point of making me bawl my eyes out, and I don't think I've ever reviewed a game on Steam before. For starters, the gameplay is quite unique. You can think of it as Muse Dash, but reading when the keys should be tapped rather than seeing them physically move to a threshold to hit them. It's a neat way of getting someone to be interested in music through showcasing what reading a music sheet is like. There aren't many difficulty spikes either, but it's the kind of game you have to play in dedicated sessions in order to get a perfect rank. The meta elements of the game were pretty neat, though maybe a little predictable if you're familiar with Game Theory videos. For the most part. But what separates this game from others I've played, including games like Omori, is the story. While it starts off being somewhat predictable, no other game has managed to end up tugging at my heartstrings so badly. The few meta elements that weren't predictable before end up tying into the story in such a way that they elevate this game above others that try breaking the fourth wall. Saying more would spoil it.

One of the most interesting rythm games out there. Using sheet music rules along with standard rythm game timing and window movement feels very fun and unique and the game's story is an amazing mix of wholesome interactions and terrifying events Relapse is an absolute masterpiece.

i wanted to BUY it because it DESERVES MOBNEY ITS SO GOOD i am so so bad at sheet music but the joys i get from this game overrun any kind of frustration i would get from uhh,,, being a slow learner. the accessibilities in this game are well thought-out and the developer is very kind about it :D for anyone who gets this game, please please PLEASE make custom levels. i need... every vocaloid song into sheet music you understand me. make this community THRIVE
