About this game
The knight Gregory Bellatoni arrives at a mansion party, intent on meeting Princess Eliza.
In order to reach her, Gregory must adventure through a labyrinthine world that exists as a mirror to his own. Inside the world of the Weave, he encounters characters from art and fiction, phantoms of artists, and beings from seemingly nowhere at all. Gregory quickly finds out, however, that some inhabitants are friendlier than others...
Gregory, with the help of Kand, a strange denizen of the mirror world, must overcome obstacles, tame beasts, and make peace with his inner desires to escape this world and reach Princess Eliza.
Swap Abilities on the Fly
An artist needs the right tool to paint their symphony. Along your journey you'll find an array of different types of abilities, called Mementos. A new Brush is a melee attack, an Instrument a ranged attack, and a Tempo a mobility action. Craft a build that suits your playstyle, and switch it up as you go to take advantage of your environment and opponents' weaknesses.
Evolve Your Gameplay
Tune your instrument to your preference. Flourishes are additional Mementos that modify how your Brush, Instrument, and partner Kand operate. Test combinations to find new builds.
See A New View Around Every Corner
The Weave manifests beings from all over the collective consciousness. With art that changes to fit each encounter, you may be wandering through a renaissance painting one moment and battling a rubberhose dragon the next. The places you walk, the puzzles you solve, and the creatures you fight change the world around you.
Spot Familiar Faces
Wait a second, what's he doing here? Sometimes you may encounter someone you've seen before and wonder what they are doing in this world. Some of these are characters, but others are the phantoms of real artists who have left their mark on the Weave.
Have Your Lightbulb Moment
New boons await you all over. If a spot seems out of place, there just might be something hiding in a secret nook. Perhaps you need to keep exploring and come back later, but this world rewards careful investigation.
The story is simple and familiar. Save the princess atop the tower distant. But the 'dragons' you will face along the way may surprise you. Some may terrify, some may humble, some may pull on thy heartstrings. But each will bestow upon you a lesson. The story may be simple, and it may seem familiar, but the true heart of a story...
...is all in how you tell it...

Open Sauce 2026
We were at Open Sauce 2026! If we saw you there, hello again! The crowd there was amazing and sharing stories, bugs, and laughs with you all was a truly inspiring and energizing experience. Hopefully next year will be on the table as well!On July 17-19 was Open Sauce, the festival for people who make things. Our team had the privilege of showcasing Recital of the Heart alongside some truly amazing stuff going on there. The demo available was fresh, hot, and full of bugs! Players got to see under the hood as we broke down certain issues or features on the fly and watched them come to life right then and there. Thank you Open Sauce! This experience was extremely valuable, and we even got some super exciting new ideas for the game from all the creative minds there. Steam forces these images to be landscape. I can't be bothered to fix it. Dog unrelated, but she's cute so look at her anyway.
