In Don’t Cough, you take on the role of someone struggling with an uncontrollable cough in the middle of a grand orchestral performance.

The audience expects absolute silence, and they won't tolerate any disruptions. But holding it in forever will only lead to a greater disaster. In this tense atmosphere, your only ally is the music itself. Your mission: mask your coughs behind the soaring melodies. Keep your coughs quieter than the orchestra and endure until the final bow.

How far will you be able to go?

- Cough
Don't Cough is played entirely with a single touch. Simply hold to adjust the intensity of your cough, then release it to clear your throat.

- Cough "To the Music"
Be careful! Coughing louder than the music will irritate the audience. However, the closer your cough matches the music's volume, the greater the sense of "catharsis" you'll feel—relieving your throat gauge even more effectively.

- Strategic Items
As you continue to cough in harmony with the music, you will be rewarded with items. Make active use of these tools during difficult moments—especially when the music becomes too quiet to mask your cough.

- The Wrath of the Audience
If you fail to hold back your cough and provoke the crowd's anger, the performance will be halted immediately, and you will be escorted out. You’ll have to start from the very beginning, so keep a close eye on both your Cough Gauge and the Discontent Gauge!

- A Symphony of Masterpieces
In the concert halls of Don’t Cough, world-renowned classical masterpieces are performed one after another. You might recognize a familiar melody whose name you never knew, or perhaps discover a brand-new favorite.
Just like a dedicated music broadcast, subtitles with fascinating facts and descriptions will glide across your screen. Don't worry if you miss them while focusing on your coughs—you can always revisit the descriptions for every piece you've cleared!
