Gameplay Tips
Focus on reading long chains of notes early—Garcello’s charts blend smooth lo-fi rhythms with sudden bursts of difficulty. “Nerves” introduces tighter patterns, so keep your eyes on incoming arrows rather than reacting late. In “Fading,” the emotional pacing syncs with slower transitions, making accuracy more important than speed. Use Easy mode if you want to experience the full story first.
