The story

vivid/stasis is a rhythm-mystery game that follows the fate and feelings of a group of girls as they get wrapped up in a mind-bending adventure involving organizations, mysterious disappearances, and the fourth dimension. The game ties together an immense and interweaving storyline with varying levels of music-based gameplay... and more...?

What it’s like

Rhythm-led and mystery-driven, this is a PC indie game where music sits at the centre of the experience, with timing-based levels threaded between story scenes in the manner of a visual novel. Its sound is built around beats and sequences rather than ambient calm, so expect a sense of momentum in the gameplay sections and more reflective pauses when the narrative takes over. The mood leans toward science fiction unease and puzzle-box suspense, with the story's themes of disappearance and fractured perception suggesting a psychologically heavy undertone. The emotional register is serious and intimate, following a group of young women whose inner lives matter as much as the mystery pulling them along. Its intensity is not fully documented here, but the psychological trauma theme points to emotional weight and unsettling material rather than gentle, low-stakes comfort. It suits players who want a single-player game that blends rhythm play with a layered, slow-revealing story, and who enjoy the tension of a mystery told partly through music and partly through character.
