Serenity Forge :

Boulder, Colo. (June 4, 2024) – In a blend of rhythm and turn-based action, the power of music becomes the path to liberation in the highly anticipated JRPG Keylocker.

In the dystopian metropolis of Saturn, a tyrannical regime has silenced all sound - making music is against the law. B0B0, a bold singer and songwriter must take the fate of Saturn into her hands to dismantle the corrupt government through tactical battles, navigating real-time executions of moves in a rhythm game style to triumph over adversaries. Uncover the mysteries of the city and its overlords and headline concerts with her band’s pulse-pounding electronic jams.

Inspired by classics like the Mario & Luigi RPG series and Chrono Trigger, Keylocker effortlessly combines the charm of physical comedy with rich storytelling and challenging strategic mechanics. This genre-defying mix of JRPG, narrative, and rhythm elements promises an unforgettable experience.
