Joining a high school band was supposed to be my big break. Now, it's a fight to survive.

Welcome to the official demo for Bandmates!

You are a third-year bass player just trying to make it through your final year of high school, and pull off the ultimate concert with your new found band. But there's a huge problem: your three bandmates (Zane, Kade, and Melody) aren't just passionate about the music-they are completely, terrifyingly obsessed with you.

Demo Features:

Meet the Band: Introduce yourself to a unique cast of characters, each with their own personality and musical secrets.

Make Impactful choices: Every decision you make changes how your bandmates feel about you and alters the path  of the story

What to  Expect in the Full Game:

The full version of Bandmates! Will feature plenty of new surprises.

- 5 unique endings

- Full game soundtracks

- Character makeovers into an anime style.

We Want Your Feedback!

This is an early demo version of the game, and we would love to hear what you think! Please leave a comment below with your favorite characters, thoughts on the story, or any bugs you might find.

Content & Age Warning (Recommeneded 13+)

Please note that while Bandmates! looks like a fun musical dating sim, the story contains  dark psychological themes, thriller elements, and horror elements including:

- Obsessive Behavior & Stalking: Characters who cross the line into dangerous obsessions.

Unhealthy Dynamics: Intense character obsession and inescapable situations.

Violence: Mentions of murder and character death in bad endings.

Player discretion is advised! It's up to you and what you can handle.

Thank you so much for playing and supporting Bandmates!

This was so so so cute! I was first thinking about choosing all the options favouring Kade but was surprised at the end when it was Zade who sent those messages, I love melody's jokes and this overall was so fun! Am so curious about the plot as it progresses....can't wait :)))
