Chorus of the Night

About

You’re hurling turntables and dodging flying televisions in a chaos-filled twin-stick shooter where music is your weapon. Chorus of the Night replaces bullets with vinyl records, drumsticks, and flaming microphones as you sprint through neon-lit stages packed with burnt CDs, malfunctioning amps, and faceless office drones. The pace never slows as you juggle movement and attacks, using each level’s audio arsenal to survive escalating waves of enemies. The game’s retro-futuristic art style pops with color while its difficulty curve leans into punishing but fair design. Developer Matt Sayer’s 2022 release has earned praise for its creative enemy types and tight controls, with some players calling it a hidden gem in the indie shooter space. Available on PC and Mac, it’s a short but intense experience best tackled with a controller in hand.
