Cytus[]

  • The name of the game, Cytus, actually comes from the name Cocytus, which means "the river of wailing" in ancient Greek mythology.
  • In update 7.0, many songs from early chapters (Chapter 1 to 3) have their charts remade, due to the serious off-sync between the audio and the chart. Certain old charts had bad design as well. Many of the charts remade have a much faster Scan Line BPM and better chart quality as compared to the old charts.
  • Although not displayed in the game itself, Cytus actually records play data in its save files, including how many times a song has been played, or the exact highest TP score up to 15 decimal places.

Artists[]

  • NeLiME, the composer of First Gate, Gatorix, Codename : Zero and Leviathan, was a high school student when he composed the songs.

  • Vospi, the composer of Reverence and Do Not Wake, is from Russia.
  • Project Grimoire is a team consisting of 3 Japanese illustrators, and 2 composers, Verdammt and ICE. Due to an incident with BEMANI, Brionac ended up in Cytus instead.
