Book Burner Games recently revealed Sonic Terror, a strategy RPG where you control an outlaw rock band fighting against a controlling government and invading aliens who steal bodies. It’s coming to PC via Steam, though a specific release date hasn’t been announced yet.
An announcement trailer, description, and screenshot set can be found below, via Book Burner Games.
Book Burner Games is excited to introduce Sonic Terror, a strategy RPG where players use the power of music to fight a dangerous alien parasite. This parasite has imposed a world where silence is enforced as a strict rule, and music is the only way to combat it. Players will experience turn-based combat and tactical gameplay.
Sonic Terror is a game set in a twisted version of 1984 where you lead an underground rock band on tour. The world is controlled by a harsh government and invaded by aliens who are terrified of music – making you and your band the last hope for sound!
You Are Sonic Terror, a Young Rock Band That Refuses to Shut Up
Manage your bandmates’ traits, ensuring their well-being – keeping them healthy, focused, and motivated. Then, unleash their music as a powerful force to defeat your opponents.
Each performance is a strategic, turn-based fight where you don’t rely on luck or timing. Instead, every note you play – the guitar riffs, basslines, and drumbeats – acts as a powerful spell. Winning battles brings you closer to achieving your goal, and the music itself changes based on how well you’re doing – it actively responds to your success or failure.
Key Features
- Grounded 1984 sci-fi setting where an alien mind-control threat can only be fought with music
- Character-driven story about freedom and the coming of age
- Three playable, clash-prone musicians with distinct personalities and abilities
- Shower, soup & sleep. Even punks need love and care. Keep them fed, alive, and not too hungover
- Turn-based tactical combat where riffs, basslines and drum blasts are spells with the power to save the world
- An adaptive soundtrack that grows stronger as you succeed and fades when you get hit
- A handcrafted world and dynamic, twisted storyline that unfolds across a last-ditch rock tour
- Unexpected touch of alien technology for musical instruments and gear upgrades
The Tour Begins
Hop on a tour bus with a shadowy driver and embark on a thrilling adventure. You’ll work to undermine a corrupt government, discover the real story behind the alien attack, and determine if your band will achieve legendary status or quietly disappear.
The only thing they fear is music. You’re the only ones left to play it.
Sonic Terror is in development for PC, with console releases planned at a later date.
