Video Game / PROJEKT GODHAND

Following

PROJEKT GODHAND is a Rhythm Game by Anarch Entertainment, with TaroNuke involved in the development of the game, first releasing a demo on February 2025 for Steam Next Fest and officially leaving Early Access on February 28, 2026 with their "paradisio" story update. The story stars Nanoha and her daily life with her best friend Alia. However, Nanoha is deeply in love with her, but Alia doesn't reciprocate the same feelings. In addition to her everyday life, she also lives the life fighting against evil forces with the titular GODHAND gauntlets, gigantic Power Fists that channel mana through every punch.

The combat sequences are depicted through the rhythm game itself, an 8-key vertical-scrolling rhythm game with an extra twist: the entire keyboard is playable, and only thing that matters is pressing a key on the correct side of the keyboard on the beat. It is perfectly normal and encouraged you keysmash and bullshit your way to victory, as the note charts do not give a damn at how imbalanced and overcharted they appear to be.

The game contains examples of:

• Anthropomorphic Personification: A character profile posted by Anarch Entertainment shows that Cirra is the concept of time itself as a person.
• Bait-and-Switch: After going over the basics in the tutorial, a barrage of notes falls down while Nanoha points out how easy things are so far. Cirra quickly pushes the notes away just before they hit the bottom.
• Button Mashing: The game outright encourages button-mashing to earn higher scores.
• Guardian Angel: Cirra, the Angel of Time, is Nanoha's "self-proclaimed" guardian angel according to her character profile post.
• Pinball Scoring: The scores in the game are 18 digits long.
