About This Game

CHORDIOID is a unique musical JRPG that seamlessly blends strategic turn-based combat with rhythm game mechanics. Fight foes in exciting battles that keep you thinking on your feet, hit notes to parry attacks in classic rhythm-game fashion, and quickly plan your next moves, all while the beat goes on.

Enter the strange world of Concordia, shrouded in darkness and humming with life, and explore the floating metropolis known simply as the Capital.



Your name is SAM MARDOT: journalist, nepo baby, anxious mess, and host of the finest Overtone-endorsed netcast of the Capital. And you're a long way from home.

Investigating rumors of a disturbing conspiracy, you've found yourself in the very outer reaches of the city, hunted by security-bots and haunted by strange dreams... and with no idea how you got there. All you know is that you've seen something terrible.

If you want any chance of stopping what you saw, you'll need the help of your new friends LOU and CAL, and battle your way back home in the only way you can: climb the ranks in the annual Superstar Festival.

Three days. Then it all begins.
