About this game

Hameln no Violin Hiki is a comedic action-platform adventure set 15 years after the demon lord Maou Kestra was sealed inside Pandora's Box. Although the seal holds, the remaining demons have grown stronger in the abandoned northern capital of Hameln.

Players follow Hamel, a self-centered traveling minstrel, and his guardian crow, Oboe, as they confront the demonic threat. Hamel attacks enemies with cheap shots and a giant violin, while the game's story leans into absurd humor and chaotic situations.
