In Fretless - The Wrath of Riffson, players step into the shoes of Rob, a friendly musician striving to restore harmony in a world out of tune, where zany villains are corrupting music. Rick Riffson, the CEO of Super Metal Records (SMR), is using the Battle of the Bands competition to tighten his grip on every note, chord, and song by trapping the best musicians and stealing their souls.

Joined by Rob and his rockstar friends, players embark on an epic quest to thwart SMR's nefarious plans. Caution is crucial, as Riffson’s diabolical minions, monstrous instrument hybrids, and legendary musical animals will stand in the way!

As they explore this vibrant musical world, players will add killer riffs to their arsenal and wield their powerful guitars to unleash crescendo attacks in epic battles!

Originally planned for May 22, Playdigious Originals and Ritual Studios announced the new release date for Fretless - The Wrath of Riffson, now set for July 17th.
