BEATVISTA

Steam Early Access — October 2026

Rhythm game

For little ones and hardcore players alike. A rhythm game where every track, with music and video from AI video creators, gets a stage of its own.

Play one-button mini-games or hammer through HELL charts on four keys. The venue's lights and effects follow each music video, so every song feels like a different live show. Rewind any tricky passage on the spot to practice.
