Sonority: With the Power of Music – News

The music-based puzzle game sonority by the Stuttgart developer Hanging Gardens Interactive was released yesterday. You slip into the role of Esther and embark on an adventure to help a friend. But we can’t tell too much about the story here, which was placed very friendly between humorous and dramatic.

In Sonority, equipped with a panpipe, you explore a magical world in which obstacles block your path in many places, which you can overcome with the power of music. To assist you in this world, you will be exposed to a variety of musical instruments that are far beyond your initial panpipes in complexity and utility. The music itself is firmly anchored in the world. With it, you trigger the changes that will ultimately help you move forward. As the game progresses, the puzzles become more and more complex and difficult, but you can always solve them with a little musical feeling: from the classic Do-Re-Mi to real little pieces of music. But don’t worry, even if you don’t have a feeling for music, you will quickly find your way into the logic of the puzzles.

Sonority was awarded the German Computer Game Prize 2020 in the “Best Prototype” category and is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux at a price of EUR 17.99.
