Released in 2008, Sigma Harmonics is a Square Enix RPG for the Nintendo DS, developed by the team that had previously worked on Dirge of Cerberus. It is set in an alternate Tokyo, and focuses on the story of Sigma Kurogami, the future head of the Kurogami clan, a line of 'sound-users' who can create miracles and guard the Great Clock that seals the demonic Ouma. The story begins when someone changes the past, destroying the present day and releasing the Ouma.To put things right, Sigma and his friend, the card-user Neon Tsukiyumi, travel back into the past in order to solve a series of murders in the Kurogami household. By visiting different points in time, finding clues (in the form of 'moments of sound'), and working out the sequence of events and the culprit, the past can be changed, leading to a different murder scenario. In battles with the Ouma, Neon does most of the fighting, using her cards to perform actions whilst Sigma provides the BGM. By playing different tracks, the individual recharge rate for Neon's cards is changed. Neon can also change forms via a form of possession.This game has an excellent soundtrack, composed by Masashi Hamauzu, and beautiful anime-style artwork. Sadly however, it has not yet been released outside of Japan.

Theme Music Power-Up: What piece of music Sigma is playing affects the recharging rate for Neon's cards. Rin produces the opposite effect in the final battle by changing the track.

Fight Like a Card Player: The game's battle mechanics, explained in-game as Sigma playing music in order to control Neon's movements (since she has no conscious control over her body when being possessed by the guardian deities she summons for battle), along with a Rhythm Game like recharge mechanic.

Synchronisation: Obaba turns out to be a pair of twins named Plum and Take who are so in tune with each other's sensations that only one of them can be awake at any given time. Fuyou uses this psychic connection to murder both of them in a way that gives her a convenient alibi.

comment
Stock Footage: Whenever someone ends up being murdered, the freeze frame of their dead body being discovered is always the same no matter which timeline. This actually ends up being a clue to solve a mystery in Chapter 5, as the body Rin stumbles upon and calls "mother" uses the same freeze frame as Yuriko's murder in Chapter 3.

comment
Timey-Wimey Ball: Time travel was originally presented as having a single timeline, with changes in the past affecting changes in the present. Then, The Reveal shows that multiple timelines are in play and the finale throws out pretty much every rule presented so far so that Sigma can essentially become a Reality Warper so that his timeline can exist instead of being erased.

The Summation: After gathering evidence, Sigma can do this via Hyper-Inference (a board with the 'moments' placed on it in the form of medals, which can be placed in different ways, producing different inferences). Whether he infers rightly or wrongly affects the boss battle afterwards.

The Not-Love Interest: Neon is set up as Sigma's apparent Childhood Sweetheart, they have some very flirty dialogue throughout the chapters, and after she sacrifices herself as part of the price one has to pay for time travel, Sigma decides to Screw Destiny so they can be together again... but it's heavily implied that they're blood siblings; Neon's difference in last name is due to her being adopted by the Tsukiyumi clan.
