Game Introduction
■ Story of an Apprentice Grim Reaper Forming a Marching Band
Ryoul, a young apprentice grim reaper sent to “Hello Wonderland” for Department of Death duties, grows tired of endless paperwork and decides to pursue her long-held dream: joining the Halloween Parade. She forms the “Hello Wonderland Band,” embarking on a journey to find bandmates and meet quirky ghosts along the way.
■ Rhythm Game Alongside Story Progression
In episode segments, players challenge rhythm games with animated storytelling sequences. In adventure sections, advance the story through dialogue and exploration, unlocking new episodes as they go.
■ Hit Notes Approaching from Left and Right
During episode parts, press keys in time with notes flowing from both sides along a curved track—left side uses A/S/D keys, right side uses J/K/L keys. Basic two-key operation: press any one of the three keys on either side. During musical highlight sections, enter “Jajaa Event,” requiring use of all six keys for fast-paced, intense gameplay that brings thrills and suspense.
