Developed around a combination of music, movement, and storytelling, Estella takes players across a cosmic setting where rhythm gameplay is presented through fast-paced movement along octagonal lanes. Using a mouse and keyboard, players must navigate the tracks as music and visual effects come together to create its distinctive gameplay experience.

The game follows Elina, a girl chosen by a mysterious golden comet. Each planet represents a chapter in the larger adventure, with cinematic storytelling woven into the rhythm-based action. The first chapter focuses on Elina's journey after a strange purple flower spreads across her homeland, leaving people emotionally numb. Although she recognizes that something is wrong, her concerns lead to her being branded a heretic and banished.

Two years later, Elina awakens alone to discover that her hands have become translucent. With the purple curse continuing to consume everything around her, a mysterious golden light appears. Determined to reclaim her home and the warmth she lost, she begins a journey into the unknown.

Updated Steam Demo Adds New Music and Visual Improvements

The latest demo update introduces several improvements to the overall experience, including refinements to the game's main visuals, user interface, and gameplay presentation. It also adds three new songs, expanding the selection available to players ahead of the planned Early Access release.

The updated music lineup includes tracks such as "Fantasia Sonata Estella" by PYKAMIA, "lost night meteor" by kanase., "Reblossia" by Dadadaizu, and "Exit This Earth's Atomosphere" by Camellia.
