About Estella

Your fingertips become a comet traversing the cosmos.

Estella is a novel 3D space-themed rhythm game played using a mouse and keyboard. With an octagonal interface and 3D visual effects synchronized to the peak of each track, players can experience overwhelming immersion—feeling as though they are a comet soaring through space.

In Estella, each planet serves as a chapter, unfolding unique planet-bound stories in a visual novel format. Players will enjoy an adventure where rhythm gameplay and story seamlessly merge through cinematic visual staging and rich character depictions.

The Early Access version scheduled for release this winter will feature approximately 40 tracks (including original compositions written specifically for the game) alongside Chapter 1, which focuses on the journey of the first protagonist, Elina, who was chosen as the “Golden Comet (Estella).”
