Guide

The game starts with a story of a young kid running through rain towards a Home. When he entered the house, he finds two-character already inside the home.

In this game, the only playable character is the young kid whose name is ‘Echo’. The Piano part of the game is just like famous games piano tiles, you will have to click on small white tiles which are ‘notes’ when it comes closer to the long white lines called ‘judgement line’ below. The story part is more of a role-playing game where you interact and move around the world.

DEEMO II World Gameplay

Normally you can only move sideways but it’s a 3D world and amazingly they added tons of details to it. so even if you can’t have 360 views of the world but it is still very satisfying to move around. You can go to any exit, gate, stairs etc you just have to go towards it and a sign will come saying ‘Continue’, click on that small icon you can travel around the world. Also when you keep playing, the other places get unlocked too. Overall the story continues like this and the piano is the real main character here. When you move around and go near any character, it shows their name and what they are talking about or thinking. These details are a very impressive part of the game, so is the realistic background sounds.

The Piano Notes

You have to click on those notes when it reaches the judgement line. You can’t click on the notes multiple times either. The notes will light up different colours showing if you have done it perfectly, early or too early. If you click right on time when the note reaches the judgement line, the note will turn ‘Golden/Yellow’. If you have clicked on the note just a little before it reaches the judgement line it will turn ‘Green‘, if you have clicked on way too early then it will turn ‘White‘. These white note doesn’t make any sound. Also if you miss one note, you lose charming hit points. (Charming Hit points are the count of how many times you’ve clicked on the notes consecutively without missing them). Lastly, there will be some side notes which will come together so you have to hold on to the spot of the judgement line where the small yellow notes will touch and slide along. Note’s speed changes depending on the song.
