Glee-Cheese Studio has announced the upcoming launch of A Musical Story, its stylish rhythm game for both iOS and Android devices. It's also set to launch on PC, PlayStation, Xbox and the Nintendo Switch, with a new trailer embedded below to pique players' interests.

A Musical Story features unique mechanics for its genre in that it focuses on the player's ability to feel the music. It boasts a gorgeous-looking art style and very distinct aesthetics throughout the whole game, with heavy inspirations from 70s folk-rock and psychedelia. Players will be able to discover the protagonist Gabriel's memories through an engaging narrative told without words. The soundtrack is comprised of 26 songs crafted and performed by Charles Bardin and Valentin Ducloux.

The game has garnered plenty of awards under its belt, which includes Best Audio at the Taipei Game Show and Best Art Direction at the Indie X Awards. It also boasts two Honorable Mentions at the Independent Games Festival Awards for Excellence in Audio and Excellence in Visual Art this year.
