BASED KICK has unveiled its latest rhythm game, HYPNOSYNC, with a Steam page now live. A demo featuring ten songs is slated for late 2025, with the full PC release on Steam following in Q1 2026. Mobile versions for Android and iOS are planned for Q2 2026.

Rhythm Game HYPNOSYNC Delivers Catchy Beats in a Wonderfully Weird World

In HYPNOSYNC, you're unexpectedly put in charge of a bizarre arcade by a mysterious boss named Nezzie. Your task? Hypnotize customers until they become employees—and big spenders—at your establishment. It’s an unusual premise, to say the least!

This rhythm game adds a management layer: every note you hit represents a fragment of a character's willpower. Time your hits perfectly to wear down their resistance and pull them deeper into a hypnotic daze.

Each song features a new character to hypnotize, complete with unique personality and willpower levels. Some will prove far more stubborn, demanding sharper reflexes and precision to break through their mental defenses.

Visually, the game embraces a charming, fluid art style. BASED KICK has released an announcement trailer showcasing the gameplay—check it out below!

A Truly Charming Vibe

Master the beats to activate Daze Mode, where special Daze Challenges await. Conquer these to earn Daze Tickets for the Deep Dive Draw, a gacha-style reward system.

Successfully hypnotized characters can become partners, joining you in future sessions and offering unique skills to improve your performance. For the latest details, visit the HYPNOSYNC Steam page while we await mobile store listings.
