Beats Per Murder

"Crypt of the Necrodancer" meets "Hitman" in this rhythm stealth-action game!

You play as an agent attempting to infiltrate a masquerade rave at a club, encountering masked dancers and crowded dance floors as you go.

But watch out, something's different about these dancers. If they spot you with the wrong mask or you miss a beat, they start to get suspicious. Move to the beat and blend in with the groups to avoid detection!
