A Story-Driven RPG with Rockstar Talent
Written by Jakub Szamałek (The Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077), Rockbeasts delivers a darkly comedic, choice-driven RPG experience where every gig, fight, and power move affects your band’s trajectory. Expect narrative twists, personal conflicts, and moments of rock-and-roll excess, all backed by a killer original soundtrack.
Will You Be the Band’s Savior or Their Worst Enemy?
Your relationships with the band will evolve, and your management style will determine whether they rise to stardom or crash and burn. Will you push them to their limits for a shot at glory, or just cash your checks and let them implode? The choice is yours. Wishlist Rockbeasts on Steam and stay tuned for more updates.
