Fine Work – Weave Rhythm and Destiny

Indie-studio Tethys Games announces our first title – Fine Work – a rhythm game-meets-visual novel about hope, love, and making art amidst cosmic uncertainty.



Featuring gorgeous hand-drawn art, a glittering original soundtrack, and innovative rhythm game design, Fine Work takes place in a science-fantasy setting – your new shop in Gleamhold.

You’ll play as a sendshaper, an artisan that receives memories and shapes them into artifacts. Throughout the game, you’ll meet strange and lovely beings from all corners of a wild world. As you craft with memories, you’ll build tender, striking relationships with each patron.
The relationships you make will shape what’s to come. Fine Work’s branching narrative starts as a classical slice-of-life, with shop talk and after-hours romps. As the days pass, converging forces threaten to destabilize the city – but, as in real life, the world keeps spinning. Your relationships will lend warmth, insight, and perhaps, in the end, some artful interventions.

All characters in Fine Work use the gender-neutral pronoun hän, but their similarities end there. Each character’s distinct personality extends to their music: themes vary in genre and tone, so clients’ memories – explored via crafting beatmaps – feel uniquely theirs. Every track spans a twisting 3D space populated by memory fragments you’ll navigate to the beat. Your crafting performance alters both the quality of the item and how the client regards you in turn – after all, they are seeking fine works.
