reBERth is a musical space shooter, where every facet of the music corresponds to an action in the game. The game was shown at Boston Festival of Indie Games, and is currently in a very early pre-alpha development phase. Follow us at @reberthgame for more updates.
In reBERth, you play Mel, a refugee seeking escape from her home planet as it falls to a planet destroying federation. Mel is the lone survivor of the attack, armed only with her ship, and an inherited ability to see the Background Energy of Reality: an energy that stems from the threads of the universe itself and manifests to those who can perceive it as music. Mel is on a path to discover the origin of the devastation that befell her homeworld and find her place in the universe.
reBERth is a musical, story driven, side-scrolling shooter led by a small team of former developers and artists from Harmonix (Guitar Hero and Rock Band), iNiS (Elite Beat Agents and LIPS), and Fire Hose Games (co-developers of Rock Band Blitz). With them is composer Larry Hong, a student at Berklee College of Music, and Evan Quinlan, an accomplished software developer. Together, with the help of Sonic Bloom’s Koreographer tech, they are building their vision of a truly interactive musical experience: a game where the music actively drives the game, and the game changes the music.
