[1] An enhanced port for the PlayStation Vita, titled Deemo: Last Recital (Japanese: DEEMO~ラスト・リサイタル~), first announced late 2014,[2][3] was released in June 2015.
Each playable song features three main levels, namely Easy, Normal, Hard, each given a difficulty rating measured in a 'Level' scale.
The player must tap on the notes when they reach the bottom line in time with the music, resembling playing on a piano.
The result screen will congratulate the player for hitting all notes successfully (Full Combo) or achieving 100% accuracy (All Charming).
The selection consists of works from composers from multiple regions including Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong.
When the tree stops growing at a height of 20 meters, Alice discovers a stairway through a painting in the side room and walks into it with Deemo.
As the girl and Deemo enter the thorny room, the Masked Lady grabs hold of Alice and the two struggle.
When the stairway is complete, Deemo walks up to a platform with Alice and raises her onto it, then returns to the piano to play one final tune.
A series of flashbacks reveals that the siblings were involved in a fatal traffic accident in which Hans sacrificed himself to save Alice.
As Deemo's world crumbles and he disappears, Alice wakes up in a hospital bed, attached to medical monitors.
She removes them and rushes to the window to find that she has escaped Deemo's world, that she was in a coma the whole time, and that Hans died after the two of them were hit by a truck.
[11][12] Different from mobile releases, Last Recital included additional modes for cooperative and competitive play,[2] and an extra story exclusive to this version.
[13] On 1 September 2017, Japanese publisher Flyhigh Works announced during a live stream that Deemo would be coming to the Nintendo Switch in Japan.
[15] On 17 October 2017, Unties, a new publishing label under Sony Music Entertainment Japan, and Rayark announced Deemo -REBORN- for PlayStation 4.
Deemo has been updated in late 2018 to include limited support for the piano Toy-Con that is part of the Nintendo Labo line.
[19] A Kotaku review praises the story delivering spectrum of emotions while accompanied by a fitting soundtrack, akin to "the rhythm game equivalent of musical theater".
[28][29] The film is animated by Production I.G and Signal.MD, and directed by Shūhei Matsushita, with Jun'ichi Fujisaku serving as executive director.
