“Great gameplay concept that's inspired by other arcade rhythm games similarly how they did Arcaea. Although I'm on a ISO keyboard layout, the one with small shift, and it's hard to hit the left side note when there's an…”

“These games live or die by their song selection, thankfully just like Arcaea the music in this game is fantastic. The structure and presentation reminds me of Cytus 2, everything looks good and is where you expect it to…”

— a player, Steam review · 50 hrs played“Is In Falsus worth the buy? Yes, absolutely. You are getting an incredibly high-quality, one-of-a-kind rhythm game with 80 tracks, a 10-hour-long visual novel with full voicework, and a... mildly amusing puzzle game. This is probably the best content-to-dollar ratio I've seen…”
