Summary:

When demons rise from the underworld, the world’s last hope isn’t a strike with a blade – it’s a song.

You’re a member of Aquarius, a budding K-pop idols group with dreams of stardom. You’re excited to be some of the final contenders in Pop Universe, a global pop competition. But your first big stage battle isn’t against rival idols. It’s against a demon.

You’d never believed that demons were real – you’d always thought the old stories about demons were just fantasy, as you live in Cyber City, which prides itself on its modernity and science. Until a few years ago, when you fought Gumiho, a fox demon and captured his magical bead. This bead opened up your soul to the Power Channel, accessing all the energy of all the souls in the world. It made you strong and your songs unbeatable, but at what cost? On the eve of Pop Universe, Gumiho has tracked you down and he wants his power back ...

This epic, pick-your-own-path interactive story lets YOU step into the spotlight as a K-pop demon hunter. In this showdown, every lyric is a spell, every dance step a shield, and every harmony a weapon. Can you pick the right path and take the demons down?

- Do you trust your bandmates or strike out on your own?
- Do you take a magical potion that will stop Gumiho but take your voice away?
- Can you work out ways to outperform Gumiho on stage, from stunning stage effects to dazzling epic choreography and mind-blowing lyrics?
- It’s up to YOU to decide whether to chase the thrill of the stage or risk everything to banish darkness forever.
