Hypnosis Rhythm Game HYPNOSYNC Released on Steam and Android

Indie studio BASED KICK has released the free-to-play rhythm game HYPNOSYNC on Windows via Steam and Android platforms. The iOS version remains under review following delays caused by Apple’s late assessment and a last-minute bug fix. Players assume the role of an unwilling manager at the titular arcade, tasked with hypnotizing customers to increase spending under the direction of boss Nezzie.
The gameplay involves hitting colored notes to break targets' willpower, with difficulty scaling based on individual resolve. Successful hypnosis unlocks Daze Mode for challenges that yield tickets, while converted staff members provide unique support skills. The title includes in-game purchases for currency and items, though all music tracks are available without cost.
