Why it matters
OneCraft is selling failure as a route through the game, not a penalty, and the scoring system is built to reward a deliberate collapse as readily as a clean reading.
Key Facts
- OneCraft scheduled MISCONDUCTOR for release in November 2026 on PC via Steam and Windows.
- MISCONDUCTOR is priced at 985 yen and supports Japanese, English, and Simplified Chinese.
- Players conduct a 30-person orchestra with the mouse, where swing speed sets tempo and swing size sets volume.
- The game includes eight arranged classical pieces, among them Beethoven's Ode to Joy, Ravel's Bolero, and Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture.
- Reaching 150 or more Chaos Points counts as a legendary catastrophe and lets the player advance to the next song.
The mouse works as a baton over a 30-person orchestra: swing speed sets tempo, swing size sets volume, and right-clicking stops the performance. Slapdash conducting makes players advance too, since 150 or more Chaos Points counts as a legendary catastrophe.
The shift in tempo is not a difficulty setting but a physical input: how fast the mouse moves decides how fast the orchestra plays, and how wide the arc is decides how loud. Drag the cursor over one section and only that section responds. Stop moving entirely and the players hold the note, waiting.
Mishaps are part of the conducting surface. Players click to suppress a wobbling chair before it drops a whole row, and members doze off or rush ahead when left alone. The game ships eight arranged classics, among them Beethoven's Ode to Joy, Ravel's Bolero, and Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, where the player also cues the cannon fire.
