The interconnected internet platforms have become more substantial than any country or corporation. Humans have redefined the “net” and how we interact with it.
As technology develops, the virtual world is now capable of replacing the real one. Using a device installed behind the ear, humans can now easily sync to the virtual world.
Thus, life is now completely different than the past centuries. The center of this change is the virtual internet space –- cyTus, the world’s largest virtual city.
In the real world, it is a giant server located in the stratosphere and powered by solar energy. In the virtual world, it’s a place where 70% of the Earth’s population is living their second life.

Game FeaturesEdit
GameplayEdit
Cytus II uses the same mechanics from Cytus, including Click, Drag, and Hold notes. However, three brand new types of notes were introduced: Flick Notes, Special Hold Notes, and Click Drag Notes. The player has to follow the notes on the white scan line that goes up and down the screen. The scan line can now increase or decrease its speed midway according to the beat, allowing for a more unique experience. Hitting the notes will increase score and, if accurately so, Technical Points.
