For the game release on the 16th of August, both EternAlgoRhythm and its demo will have access to two new input modes; free and strict. But what are these anyway? To understand what these new input modes do, we need to first consider what the standard input mode does.

Standard Input Mode

• If the key tap is close to a note, the game will recognize that you want to tap this note and adjust the timing so that you hear the note at the time it's supposed to be played.
• If the key tap isn't close to a note, the game will say this is a free note, and play the corresponding sound.

• You get to hear the song as it's meant to be played in terms of timing, but you can still improvise whenever you want.
• When you miss a note and tap another key, you'll hear both the key you tapped (as a free note) and the one that you were supposed to tap; this often makes it easy to tell if you missed the note.
• It's harder to tell if you have the right timing when you press the correct note, though you can still know by the amount of particles the new particle system throws; the more, the better.

Free Input Mode

• You get total freedom to improvise anything you want if you don't want to follow the notes.
• You can easily tell if you are missing the right timing because the notes you tap will sound too early or too late compared to the other instruments.
• It's harder to tell through sound cues if you're missing any notes when you tap a different key, since you'll only hear the note you tapped, though you'll be able to tell through the notes you see not being tapped.
