Developer Unwise and publisher Akupara Games have announced their collaboration on the upcoming musical automation game Future Vibe Check during the Humble Games Showcase. Blending rhythmic minigames, automation mechanics, and philosophical themes, the game offers a unique experience of music creation and universe restoration. It is set to launch for PC via Steam in 2025.
Instead of automating factories and traditional resource mining, Future Vibe Check lets you gather resources through rhythm and pitch-based interactions. The game features an intelligent music system that ensures everything sounds harmonious, even without prior knowledge of music theory. The rhythmic minigames are designed to be accessible rather than overly difficult, while defending against the Vibe Stealer becomes crucial as the factory expands.
Manik Bhat, the game’s creator and founder of Unwise, emphasized that Future Vibe Check is a product of his desire to create something that his younger self would have loved. The game transforms the instinctive drive for optimization and growth, common in automation games, into something deeply human - creative energy and music-making.
