A Love Letter to JRPGs

Viola: The Heroine's Melody pulls inspiration from many classic JRPGs. Lufia, the Mario & Luigi series, Final Fantasy, and even modern indie takes on the genre such as Undertale and Lisa. Turn-based battles, a ton of recruitable characters, and a personal story to sink your teeth into: Viola has all of this and more. However, Viola is not a passive RPG. Attacks require the player to time their button taps, and to unleash spells you'll have to follow a series of rhythm game-esque inputs.

Exploration Made Fun Again

On top of being an RPG, Viola: The Heroine's Melody is a side-scrolling platformer! With walljumps and triple jumps, springs and cannons, you can explore each level and uncover every little secret. Find more potions, or gems to equip and customize each character's stats! And don't worry about random encounters: each monster is visible in the level. Don't feel like fighting? Just jump around and find another path!

Raise the Bar

Music is key to Viola. Every character in your party has their own instrument, and they'll eagerly play along with the songs you learn along your journey. All the songs have their own magical effect, like summoning a bird, creating a magical campfire, unlocking secret pathways... If you've ever played a Zelda game, you'll feel right at home.

Learn to Love Yourself

Viola: The Heroine's Melody is about Viola's journey. It's one of strange characters, powerful monsters, fantastical locations and plenty of laughs. But Viola's journey isn't just about going home: it's also about learning. That it's okay not to be perfect. That it's okay to grieve. That you deserve love, and that sometimes that love starts with learning to love yourself.

Like a Rainbow with Gold at Both Ends

Many people are unable to see themselves in the things they watch, read or play. Viola is filled with characters of all kinds: different colors, different loves, different ideals. If you've ever felt out of place, and like you couldn't connect with the characters you've seen before, Viola is for you.

The Wood Eater is huge in battle, too!

Fenrys has helped Viola on many occasions, so now it's time to help him. And yes, that means facing giant monsters.

The final level also contains a maze of cannons, with treasure on the side. Think you can get out?

In Viola's final level, the objective is to activate each of the nine spires you find. But to do so, Viola will have to leave one of her friends behind...

Viola's music was created by Nom Tunes! If you'd like to support him, you can buy the soundtrack. Where would you prefer getting it?

Beyond Harpie Village has a little cannon section! Wonder what's inside that chest? You'll have to find out for yourself.

Beyond Harpie Village has a lot to it - take a look in the game's engine!

Each spell has an element - and so does each monster. Water spells can really wreck Flame type monsters!

Soleil's shield isn't just for defense - use her Shield Bash spell to deal Stone damage to an enemy!

Viola's final level, the Nine-Spire, has you jumping around to find the nine... well, spires. Duh.
