About Cadence

Cadence is about the quiet joy of connecting logic with music. Whether you're into puzzles, a creative explorer, an aspiring musician, or simply looking for a calm break from the frenzy of modern life - Cadence is waiting to be discovered.

🧠 Puzzle Mode: Logic Meets Melody

Work through thoughtful puzzles at your own pace, with no music theory or rhythm required. Every solution reveals gentle melodies that wake up Ren, your philosophical feline friend. Progress to increasingly mind-bending challenges that you won't want to put down, supported each step of the way by Ren's gentle meditations on life.

🎹 Sandbox Mode: Make Some Noise

Get your first sounds in seconds. Cadence includes a fully featured editor for unlimited Sandbox play. Whether you're a seasoned composer seeking fresh inspiration or someone who's never touched a music app, Cadence is a safe and fun place to play with music creation.

👥 Community: Program the Impossible

Dive deep into Cadence's Turing-complete logic system. The community continues to surprise with creations that were never imagined possible. What will you build? Share your best work with Steam Workshop directly integrated into the game.

----------------------------------------------------

Cadence was lovingly crafted by a single person over 12 years of development. I'm delighted it's finally yours to explore and create with! I can't wait to see what you'll make...
