Hiding Spot has announced Wicked Delights, a new visual novel with rhythm game and horror elements put together. Wicked Delights is currently in development for PC via Steam, and the official Steam page is live alongside a new trailer.
Here’s an overview of the game, via Steam:
Rhythm Horror
Wicked Delights is a rhythm game brazenly jammed into a visual novel. Or if you prefer, a visual novel lovingly infused with rhythm elements. However you think of it, you’re in for a ride. Anime battles, sitcom coffee shop shenanigans, retro sci-fi adventures, and gore fest horror. Rhythm your way through them all to unravel the mysteries of its fantastical story.
An Unraveling Mystery
It’s Chicago in the early 2010’s, the final days of Reel To Real, a dying VHS shop. Ander and her dad Marcel morn its loss as they try to sell off all remaining inventory. But when a long forgotten tape shows back up, their sense of reality is turned inside out. Characters from the various layers of film and TV that they’d recorded onto the tape start breaking into their world. From horror to anime, sitcom to sci-fi, the tape has all the genres they loved over the years. But some things are best loved through the warm glow of a screen.
Love Letter to Our Favorite Genres
Each film and TV show in the game has a distinct art style, lovingly hand crafted. “Let’s make a game with five distinct art styles!” We exclaimed, as a small indie game studio. Well… we knew it would mean a ton more work. But we also have genuine love for the genres present in the game, and knew it was the best way to share that love with players.
From Mini Games to Full Songs
Wicked Delights is infused with rhythm games. Throughout, players will be presented with full song rhythm challenges backed by the game’s high energy soundtrack, as well as bite sized rhythm mini games that spice up the moment to moment storytelling. Whether you’re a fan of visual novels, rhythm games, or both, we think there’s something for you to enjoy in Wicked Delights.
