Melatonin gets September release date on Switch

Half Asleep has announced a final release date for Melatonin, its “rhythm game about dreams and reality merging together.” It’ll be reaching Switch on September 16, 2022.

It was only just last month that we found out about Melatonin. As part of the initial reveal, it had a general Q3 2022 release window.

Here’s some information about the game:

Melatonin is a rhythm game about dreams and reality merging together. It uses animations and sound cues to keep you on beat without any intimidating overlays or interfaces. Harmonize through a variety of dreamy levels containing surprising challenges, hand-drawn art, and vibrant music.

Every level in Melatonin introduces a new way to follow the rhythm. As you progress through the game, you’ll unlock more chapters, challenge modes, mashups, and a level editor. Unfamiliar with rhythm games? Practice mode is used to guide you through the beat and assist options are included to help you if you’re feeling lost.

Melatonin explores the relationship between the dreams we have when we’re asleep and the experiences we go through when we’re awake. Piece together elements about the main character’s life as you dive deeper and deeper into their dreams at night.

The game features a colorful visual style with art and animations that have been fully hand-drawn. The vivid music has also been produced to flow with the gameplay and visuals for an immersive experience.
