Face the music and have some fun with Viola later this month

Today, independent developer Kelle Van Doorne announced that he will release the RPG Viola for PC via Steam Early Access on July 23, with a full release next year. The game features a bright JRPG aesthetic with music-based turn mechanics.

Play as Viola, a young girl trapped inside the fantasy world of a magic violin. Follow her quest as she makes friends and unlocks the mystery of a fantastical musical world. While platforming across the world you’ll seamlessly engage in turn-based battles. To win these battles you’ll meet a colorful cast of 10+ characters to join your party! Viola is not a passive RPG. Attacks require the player to time their button taps, and to unleash spells you’ll have to follow a series of rhythm game-esque inputs.

Viola and her new friends will also play music together. Certain songs and characters will unlock different passages and secrets throughout the world. A humorous and emotional story, Viola is about learning to love yourself.

Viola is currently set to launch on July 23, 2019 as a Steam Early Access release on Windows PC for $9.99, with a full launch planned for 2020.
