Lakeside Battle With a Dark-Pop Twist

FNF Sweet Licorice is a one-shot game where two couples face off in an emotionally charged rap battle. The story begins with Boyfriend and Girlfriend enjoying a peaceful picnic by the lake when they are disturbed by two mysterious cat-headed figures. From that moment, the relaxing setting transforms into a musical stage where rhythm and precision determine the winner.

Main Opponent: Matzu

Matzu is the mod's central opponent, duetting with her girlfriend Melodia. She appears as a cyan creature made of water, with long hair, a yellow flower hair clip, and a brighter demeanor than her grumpy personality in PROTOVANIA. Matzu's vocals are sampled from Vylet Pony's "ANTONYMPH," giving her a unique and recognizable sound. An interesting detail is that her true form is held in a hair clip; if detached, she will dissolve into a puddle of water.
