Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

MODERATORS
There's a 2011 game called Before the Echo (previously called Sequence before the board game maker decided to get pissy about it) that's a basic rhythm game but you play on a screen with three boards where rhythm arrows drop, and you have to manage swapping between all of them. One board you clear arrows to prevent enemy damage, one generates mana for you, and the third is where you cast spells (that do damage, heal you, etc). There are a few different items you can get and there's some light crafting/leveling systems as well.
As someone who doesn't usually play rhythm games (largely because I'm bad at them) it was pretty fun. The story is amusing as well, and the main critique I had was that it's very slightly on the grindy side and there aren't enough songs to support it, so you start hearing the same ones over and over. The music is decent but it can get a bit old.
