Virgo Versus the Zodiac developer Moonana has announced its newest title, Keylocker. The game is billed as a cyberpunk turn-based rhythm RPG with the Mario & Luigi series and Chrono Trigger listed as inspirations. Keylocker is being developed for PC, with no announced release window.

Keylocker takes place on Saturn, where music has been outlawed for the past 141 years. The game follows B0B0, who is a Doppelganger, twins that are born to be perfect fits for particular societal castes. However, B0B0 fights against her position in the lowest caste, forming her own band in rebellion against the Saturnian Satellites that act as the ultimate law.

The game uses music to control electrical power with players able to use it for attack and defence by swapping between different movesets. The combat is turn-based with real-time execution using rhythm-based inputs. Players can choose to betray or befriend many of the citizens they come across, with the game featuring multiple endings based on player decisions. Keylocker will also let players perform with their band in a music show minigame, with the game featuring music from Momodora and Virgo Versus the Zodiac composer Elektrobear.
