We are proud to have been selected by Nintendo for this Shadow Drop release.

The Sonority game is one of the winners in the category “Best Prototype” at the German Computer Game Awards 2020. In the lovingly hand-designed game world with graphically diverse areas, players will discover an unusual puzzle mechanic in which obstacles must be moved by arranging sequences of sounds. The mechanics slowly become more complex and surprise the player again and again with new variations on the theme.

About the game

Sonority is an innovative music puzzle adventure set in a lovingly designed, fascinating world. Play as Esther and discover the rockery, a place full of music and unique puzzle mechanics.

A unique puzzle mechanic using melodies
In Sonority the players explore a lost world in which music is magic and with whose help you can progress through the game.
The puzzles are solved by the correct arrangement of notes. The solution is deduced acoustically or using symbols. No previous musical knowledge necessary.

Story
The player takes on the role of young Esther, who sets out on a journey to help a friend. Equipped with her pan flute, she reaches the mysterious rockery. But soon her path is blocked and she must use the power of music to overcome the obstacles. Not always an easy task.

In a world lapsed into silence, Esther rediscovers lost songs and mossy works of art. Naturally aided by singing stones and a talking raccoon. Yet there seems to be no trace of the legendary preceptors of music.

Intricate Puzzles
The further you get, the trickier the game becomes. Collect new notes and instruments to overcome even the most difficult puzzles of the preceptors.

Developed by Hanging Gardens Interactive, a newcomer team from Germany that presents a remarkable debut work with an abundance of fresh ideas.

Sonority Features:

• Interesting new puzzle mechanic based on melodies. (Simple note sequences develop into small melodies and then into complex pieces of music.)
• A touching story about Esther and an old, oddball raccoon and his singing stone friends.
• A lovingly designed, cohesive 3D game world with varied locations.
• Atmospheric, extensive soundtrack with English and German versions of original songs.
