The researcher update
[ 2023-07-21 20:46:53 CET ] [ Original post ]
In the tutorial textboxes update, a mysterious character dubbed the researcher was introduced as the notes author. While this improved readability and immersion, I still felt a bit unsatisfied with how her character came out of nowhere.
So now she is in the game.
This update completely overhauls the tips area in the rain levels. Rather than just getting a random tip, you get to chat with the researcher. The dialogue options start as descriptions for the games general mechanics in the first level, but the options in latter levels will be tied to the items and remixes active and the endings reached. This new area is completely optional and not required to reach any ending or achievement.
This update also changes the type of levels chosen a bit. Basically, theres a restriction to avoid getting consecutive rain levels and not being able to pay the pearl tax.

The festival is here. The music is everywhere, and it only gets louder as the main event approaches.
Too bad it hurts you.
You are tired of this. You have decided to seek a way out. However, it won’t be easy...
Playable misophonia
DETUNED is a bizarre game based on personal experiences with sensitivity to noise. It turns classic rhythm gameplay on its head: rather than hitting the notes of a song according to its beat, you need to avoid a randomly generated series of notes.
However, running around trying to avoid pain is not a socially accepted way of life in this town. You have a job as a pearl collector. Every time you arrive in an area, a pearl might be hiding in the scenery. Attention and constant movement will be the keys to your survival.
Twisted remixes
Every session of DETUNED is different. The songs will be remixed with gameplay changes every once in a while. Sometimes you’ll get to choose how to suffer, other times it will be up to a dice roll. You might be able to obtain items to increase your chances of survival… but only if you have collected enough pearls. Even if you make to the festival’s main event, there are 8 different endings depending on which special items you managed to get.
Audiovisual insanity
DETUNED’s graphics combine photographed doodles with pre-rendered lighting to create dreamlike images to look at while you succumb to stress. The songs haunting you are not the kind of music you know, but rather distorted recordings of random everyday noises.
Cacophonic controls
DETUNED can either be played with the mouse, the keypad or the keyboard numbers. Pick the option that makes your fingers hurt less… because your ears are going to suffer in both cases..
Bonus beats
Tired of the procedural generation? Reach at least 6 endings to unlock the song editor and produce your own creations of pure acoustic torture.
