A Musical Twist on Classic Turn-Based Gameplay
A Frog’s Tale is a turn-based RPG. Developers Norman Company and Mythcarver Games take inspiration from classic games like Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga, Tales of Symphonia, and Kingdom Hearts, but included a bit of a twist. This game features a unique rhythm combat system, as well as rhythmic set pieces like spike traps, lily pad platforms, and rotating pillar puzzles.
You play Norman the frog who is swept up in the adventure of a lifetime. While investigating the large, aggressive bugs on the outskirts of his village, Norman meets a mysterious cardinal bird. This bird sweeps Norman off on an adventure to restore the forest.
Norman will meet a whole host of charming characters in as he explores the world of A Frog’s Tale. Complete quests for these unique NPCs, and have fun discovering their fun personalities and stories. Norman will have to make use of his frog hops and swing his sword to fight the enemies he encounters. Overcome obstacles and solve rhythm-based puzzles, too. Along the way, collect the broken shards of an ancient artifact, and learn the truth about that artifact. Does it really belong to the frog goddess, Anura, and can it really bring the dead back to life?
Release is ‘To Be Announced’
Unfortunately, this sweet little musical RPG isn’t out yet, and does not have a release date listed. However, you can Wishlist A Frog’s Tale on Steam.

Where Dreams and Reality Merge
Melatonin is a dreamy, colorful rhythm game where lines are blurred and dreams merge with reality. The game explores the relationship between what we dream while asleep, and what we experience while awake. With a hand-drawn and detailed visual style that implements a peaceful, but colorful palette, and music that flows well with gameplay and visuals, Melatonin is sure to provide a comfortable experience.
You’ll discover 20 unique levels across 5 chapters. Each level introduces a new song, too. Melatonin also forgoes using intimidating overlays, and instead uses animations and sound cues to keep you on beat. You can utilize Practice Mode to guide you through each level. There’s also a Hard Mode to unlock, for those who enjoy challenges. Or if you’re feeling lost, there are different assist features you can use to help you. And if you’re feeling particularly creative, Melatonin has a Level Editor where you can create your very own rhythm game level!
Available Now!
You can find Melatonin on Nintendo Switch and Steam. It’s also Steam Deck verified, and has a color mode calibrated specially for Steam Deck use. That makes this game perfect for on the go!
