May 23, 2022A Musical Story is a rhythm game that breaks with the traditional and repetitive system in an artistic, educational and entertaining way; through a musically focused storytelling that results in a fresh, magical, and rewarding experience.

Mar 30, 2022A Musical Story is a mesmerizing audiovisual experience. Even if not completely capable of involving us in its narration, we were constantly struck by the world it is capable not only to create, but also to recall.

Mar 27, 2022A Musical Story is a warm, interesting and charming small adventure about songwriting and inspiration with, at its core, an essential, but not shallow, rhythm game. It looks and plays as a 70s rock concept album and lingers through solos, emotional spikes and perfect execution. Sometimes is a bit unfair, but well, the road to perfection can be harsh.

Mar 28, 2022A Musical Story is a laudable attempt to tell a story based on the mechanics of a musical game. The game manages to imbue us with that atmosphere, scarce in silence, that was the 70s. The mechanics are very simple and allow us to focus on the music and the story: the trip through memory shattered, a search for the way back in the middle of the darkness, the light at the end of the tunnel that lights up blinking to the beat of guitar notes.

Mar 1, 2022Wonderful, lo-fi sounds and hand-crafted visuals make A Musical Story a clear a labour of love, sadly let down by its rhythm mechanics.
