Oh hey, it's still using the actually unique name here! Nice!
I don't care if the new name has meaning to the story mode; I remember this game first and foremost as a community-driven game, and the new name exclusively applies to the story mode.

At least include "Project Arrhythmia" in the store page's title! How am I supposed to find this if I only know the old - actually unique - title?Edit: I just noticed it DOES say "Project Arrhythmia" on Itch. ...And Steam. Hmmm... Where do I remember only seeing the uninspired name?
What does "AfterBeat" even mean anyway? How could it possibly mean anything in a story mode?
Wait, I just searched what "arrhythmia" means, and it's an irregular heartbeat!?! You changed the title from THAT to a boring title like "AfterBeat"???
I'm just glad I never got this game; not only because of the name change, but also because I used to have a bad habit of watching something, liking to watch it, and wanting to do that thing myself, then proceeding to not like that thing.
I'm never buying this. It may be a good game, but I'm not buying a game with such a boring, uninspired name! ...Also, what I mentioned above. But mainly the uninspired name.
I will say there's another spot the inspired name is, but I won't tell you where, because you don't like inspiration. :)
You like your titles to be uninteresting. They shouldn't make you think. They shouldn't give a first impression. They should just be easy to search. Because "who cares about impressions?"
Why didn't you let people just learn a long word? I had no clue "arrhythmia" was a word before! The fact that you're removing an opportunity to learn something is very disappointing.
I take it there's nothing I can do to convince you to have inspired titles, so I should just leave. If you change your mind, and decide to use the inspired title that actually teaches a new word, you know where to find me.
Okay, I think I have a good compromise between the new name and old one. How about... I forgot the new name for a moment. (That's not a good sign.)
Okay, how about... Man, I had it for a moment, but forgot it again!
Let me just- Right! "AfterBeat"! That's the current name!
Okay, now that I remember it, let me suggest "AfterBeat: Arrhythmia". It has the easier-to-spell title, while still having the word that made the better one stand out!
Seriously, it's not a good sign I forgot the current title twice in a row. I'm being honest about that, too! At least this game taught me to look for more interesting titles for my own stuff, using words that you don't see everyday.
Anyway, I know you won't take any criticism, because the people who've already purchased your game haven't been that vocal, so I will leave now.
