Sonority

Sonority is a unique music game, as it requires neither exceptional dexterity nor perfect pitch, but instead approaches the theme of music as an original puzzle game. Obstacles become instruments and interactions become notes, which only reveal the way out when played in the correct melody.
The concept won over the expert jury above all through its in-depth portrayal of the unusual gameplay mechanics, which are sensibly increased in complexity as the game progresses. The game requires no prior musical knowledge, but allows players to explore melodic fundamentals and a mysterious, music-inspired fantasy world in a playful way, without fear of making mistakes. The magic of music theory and its mathematical fascination are presented in an impressive and imaginative way.
Stylish graphics in the isometric sections, featuring watercolour backgrounds, round off this successful concept and invite players to linger in the world of music, not only aurally but also visually.
