Welcome to Rataport!

In the vast and tranquil sea, there is an island as lively as a toy box. The name is "Rataport" On the island, a strange animal-like creature called Ratatan lives happily with their friends. Despite their different appearances and personalities, they share a common dream. Which is go to “The Everafter". And meet "The Goddess" who is said to live in there. As heroes who carry the hope of all, the Ratatans embark on a journey to The Everafter. No matter how many times they failed, they will never give up and dreamt of meeting her one day.

Rhythm action

Feel the beat and use rhythm sequences in time to order your Cobuns in the direction you want them to go.

Since the Ratatans can be moved freely, your judgement to decide where to give orders, where to position the ratatan, and when to retreat is critical.

Decarnation plunges you into a haunting, dreamlike adventure where reality and fantasy become one. Inspired by some of the most influential surrealist works (Silent Hill, the original tale of Alice in Wonderland, films by David Lynch and Satoshi Kon...), allow yourself to be swept away by an intense and mesmerising story, oscillating between dreams and nightmares.

Gloria is a cabaret dancer at the end of her rope. As her career, relationships and self-esteem begin to deteriorate, a mysterious patron makes her an offer she couldn’t possibly refuse. Will this event mark the end of her recent struggles , or the beginning of her descent into hell?
Decarnation is a story of survival, where monsters and nightmares weave themselves into the fabric of everyday life. Get ready for a poignant and captivating adventure!

With a wide variety of mini-games, Decarnation expertly brings together the classic elements of horror and adventure games, where each challenge requires consideration, responsiveness and coordination. Solve cryptic riddles, confront ominous enemies and explore a bewildering world...

Decarnation's Rêve and Cauchemar soundtracks feature contributions from numerous artists, including the renowned composer Akira Yamaoka (Silent Hill) whose works blend horror and the paranormal, breathing life into this nightmarish tale.

EVERYTHING IS ABOUT TO CHANGE

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

In the rhythm game section of vivid/stasis, you'll find yourself facing various levels of difficulty, with many options for customizability to play the game your way. Whether you're a casual rhythm gamer just here to enjoy the story, or a hardcore rhythm game legend looking to find a new kind of challenge, there's a good chance you'll find it here. Between "Opening", "Middle", "Finale", and the extra-spicy "Encore" difficulty, players will be sure to find something fun for their skill level no matter their prior experience with rhythm games.

Unlike other traditional vertical-scrolling rhythm games, vivid/stasis introduces the concept of "Bumper Notes"; notes that take up two lanes. These notes can be hit with either of the keys assigned to the lanes it falls under, giving the game a unique playability with strictly four keys, despite the six types of possible notes.

The song list of vivid/stasis features well-known and prominent artists in the music game scene (Tanchiky, Camellia, Silentroom), but also shines light on a fair amount of lesser known producers (A-Saph, Lundy, Spehs, and many many more).

On July 21st, 2022, Tsuki Tasogare went missing after not coming home before her agreed-upon curfew.

An investigation was picked up, but after less than a day of little to no progress, her sister, Saturday, finds the lack of enthusiasm for finding her sister confusing, and gets impatient.

And so, she decides to look into it herself. Alongside her friends, Allison and Kotomi, Saturday hopes to uncover the secret behind her sister's strange disappearance... and isn't quite ready for what she discovers.

vivid/stasis' story spans multiple chapters and multiple game genres to tell a coming-of-age story about living with trauma from a young age, and what makes our feelings "real".

All Patapons have unique characteristics and classes (jobs) such as the Hatapon who stands in the center of the squadron waving its flag and leading its allies, the Tatepon who protects others with its large shield, and the Yumipon who attacks by shooting arrows. The role of each Patapon during battle varies with their class, allowing you to create a unique and well-rounded army to take on the various challenges that await!
As the player, you are the God of the Patapons and lead them on a grand adventure to Earthend!

PATAPON and PATAPON 2 are now a packaged set!

The two games, released in 2007 and 2008, are back as a remastered set!

The game involves 2 elements: simple controls and strategic combat!

The controls are incredibly simple, comprised of the rhythmic beating of four drums [Pata(←), Pon(→), Don(↓), Chaka(↑)].

At the same time, there are many strategic elements, such as using the right battle commands during the right situation, and creating an army comprised of the classes (jobs) of Patapons, creating a game that is easy to understand while still offering a challenge!

A Game full of Challenges and Variety!

Patapons can be made or enhanced using various items. On top of that, even stronger Patapons can be created by gathering materials from stages and minigames. The game contains 400 weapons and equipment to enhance and upgrade your Patapons!
Customize your army to your heart’s content and create a one-of-a-kind squadron to take on the various enemies and challenges this game has to offer!

New support features!

While the original game elements remain unchanged, new support features have been added for a more enjoyable gaming experience!
Newly implemented features found in this version allow players to adjust the standard difficulty between Easy, Normal, and Hard, adjust the timing of button presses, and keep the drum icon displayed at all times!

Beat. The. Bot.

You're Ace - a famous bounty hunter after your latest target, the eccentric robot-showman Frazzer. To find your way through his twisted techno-playground, you’ll have to master the art of shooting, wall-running, sliding, and bunny hopping, all in sync with the beat! Get ready to dance till you're dead and then suit up for the remix in rogue-like rhythm shooter ROBOBEAT.

Shoot to the Beat

Shoot to your own beat with the custom music feature. Simply upload & trim your track or leave it as it is in our in-game editor to auto generate beats that suit your play style. Change custom songs effortlessly in-game anytime anywhere without interruption. The feature will support .wav, .mp3, and .ogg files. Maximise your damage and shorten your cooldown time by shooting in sync.
Master the art of charged shots, damage multipliers, armour piercing rounds, and more!

Move to the Music

You’ll want some slick moves to go with those slick new weapons. Your enemies aren’t going to wait around for you to take a dance break, so you’ve got to keep moving if you want to survive.

Wall run, slide, double jump, bunny hop, and grapple hook your way through technicolour levels to give your enemies the runaround. Keep it fluid, keep it funky, and keep it moving.

Rewind, Remix, Replay

ROBOBEAT is a rogue-like remix.

Fast forward through procedurally generated levels, equip an arsenal of finely-tuned weapons, and accompany your arsenal with a symphony of modifications. Your playstyle is on continuous shuffle, so you never know what each new run is going to bring!

Will you have what it takes to break the infinite loop and stop Frazzer in his tracks?
