Story and setting

The adventure unfolds on the mystical island of Suri.

As melodies turn hostile, the world shifts to every pulse, pushing Ajira to learn, adapt and fight back through precise, music‑driven play.

Gameplay pillars

• Beat‑synced platforming – levels, traps and escape runs are timed to an evolving soundtrack.
• Unlockable movement abilities – progression adds new traversal options to master challenging sequences.
• Dramatic escape sequences – set pieces are choreographed and synchronized to key musical moments.
• Reactive world – environments shift and respond to every downbeat and flourish.

Rhythm Haptics Engine on PS5

The team’s Rhythm Haptics Engine translates music into complementary audio, visual and tactile cues – “you hear the beat, you see the beat, you feel the beat.” On PS5, DualSense haptics aim to convey nuance, from gentle melodies to heavier, corrupted beats, to heighten timing and spatial awareness during platforming.
