A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

This is a somewhat experimental horror game based around music. The core idea is to have a world that dynamically reacts to sound and where the main method of interaction is through music. This prototype represents a proof-of-concept of that idea, distilled down into the simplest manifestation. However, at the same time it is a typical indie horror game as well and I think it can be readily recognized as belonging to that genre.

The objective is simple, you need to explore an area inhabited by invisible spirits and collect pieces of a melody which you need in order to escape. Your only method of defense is to listen to the sounds in the environment. It's not a good idea to make too much noise when the spirits are around as they have very sensitive hearing.

This is my first completed game. I estimate the playtime to be between 15 and 30 minutes. Hope you enjoy ^^

Recommend playing with a controller to get the best experience.
