Hi-Fi Rush is a 2023 rhythm-based action game developed by Tango Gameworks, originally published by Bethesda Softworks, and currently published by Krafton. The game's story follows self-proclaimed "future rock star" Chai, whose music player is accidentally embedded in his chest during experimental cybernetic surgery funded by the corrupt Vandelay Technologies, allowing him to rhythmically fight and re-perceive the world through environmental synesthesia. Labelled a "defect" and hunted by the corporation that transformed him, Chai bands together with new friends to defeat the company's executives and put a stop to their plans.
