HI-FI RUSH

To do: Extract game files and give them a look over, there's sure to be more hiding within. Create proper comparison images for the placeholder gamma images between these and the final ones, as well as compare them to the ingame locations in case there are differences.

Hi-Fi Rush is an action rhythm game where you play as Chai, a self-proclaimed "future rock star" who acquires a robot arm that syncs with the beat.

Unused Audio#

Unused Track 7 Kale Fight Dialogue#

Within the files is dialogue between Chai and Peppermint with a rather dire tone. These voicelines exist as the final files for Track 7's folder, and were never localised for other languages. These are not used for the cutscene at the end of Track 7, those files are held separately.
Do note that these voicelines are labelled under "ST06, or Track 6, rather than Track 7. This is because Track 7 was originally Track 6, with "L.I.F.T. Me Up" originally being part of Track 5.

Unused LU-C1LLE Track 1 Grumbles#

Various pieces of unused "Grumble" dialogue for a LU-C1LLE NPC, intended for Track 1. While the NPC does speak via announcer drones, these voicelines never play. They appear to be pain noises similar to voicelines for other NPCs that are used in the game when they react to the player's attacks. LU-C1LLE, however, does not appear in Track 1 as an interactable character, and in Stage 3 does not react to the player's attacks.

Placeholder Images#

Placeholder gamma images for the settings menu. Note that all three contain the same Japanese symbols, possibly from a debug menu.

Brights.png is an image of Track 10 shown in a different Location to the final one, showing off the Kale Statue rather than the rest of the Atrium.

Midtones.png is the same as the original but kept here for completion. It's an image of Track 1.

Shadows.png is shown in a completely different location compared to the gamma menu in the final game, showing the beginning of Track 7 instead of the beginning of Track 1.

Internal Project Name#

The game's internal project name is "Hibiki", according to the folder containing the game's assets.
