Lowiro Shows In Falsus at BitSummit Punch Ahead of 2026 Release
In Falsus extends lowiro's rhythm game design from Arcaea into a keyboard-and-mouse format with a visual-novel-style scenario, offering a distinct play experience while retaining the developer's signature approach to note timing and difficulty scaling.

Lowiro exhibited its upcoming rhythm game In Falsus at BitSummit Punch. The game uses mouse and keyboard controls, equippable character cards with attributes, and a scenario mode tied to song and card unlocks. A Steam demo is available now, and the full PC release is planned for 2026.
Lowiro showed In Falsus at BitSummit Punch, the developer's next rhythm game after Arcaea. The play style uses mouse left and right clicks along with keyboard keys (ASDF by default, configurable) to hit lanes. On the lowest difficulty only four keys are needed, but harder charts add shift and space keys.
Before playing a song, players equip a character card. Cards have attributes; equipping a card to a matching attribute adds a multiplier bonus. Cards provide rewards for clearing songs or make clearing easier, and they are unlocked by progressing through the scenario. Playing and clearing songs also yields parts to strengthen cards.
The scenario mode ties accuracy to combat: hitting notes builds the player's attack, while misses give the enemy attack. If HP runs out the song ends early in scenario play, but normal song play mode lets the player finish without early termination. Characters do not affect score, keeping the game focused on rhythm.
The demo at BitSummit Punch included artists familiar from Arcaea and other rhythm games. A Steam demo with full voice acting for the scenario is already available. In Falsus is scheduled for release on PC via Steam within 2026.
