HYPNOSYNC Sets October 28 Free-to-Play Launch on Steam, iOS and Android
The studio is committing to a same-day free-to-play launch across Steam, iOS, and Android, and says it will not sell paid songs, so the monetization rests on in-game currency, items, and the gacha.

BASED KICK will release HYPNOSYNC on October 28 at 19:00 as a free-to-play title on PC via Steam, iOS, and Android. Players manage an arcade specializing in music games and use hypnosis, carried out through rhythm gameplay, to make customers spend more or become obedient employees. Daze Tickets earned through the Daze Challenge feed a gacha for characters. A Steam playtest open to anyone runs until October 25.
The Steam playtest closes three days before launch, on October 25, and is open to anyone. After that, the free-to-play title arrives at 19:00 on October 28 on Steam, iOS, and Android.
Hypnosis is the core loop. Each song brings a character to hypnotize, and clearing the rhythm chart above a set score counts as success. Tickets from the Daze Challenge go into a gacha, and recruited characters work as partners who support hypnotizing other customers.
