Reviews

“Sonority is a beautiful tale that will take you on an emotional ride as you discover the importance of music. While players with musical backgrounds will have a special love for the game, it has a broad appeal that will make it a blast for anyone interested in the premise.”
90/100 –

“Sonority is an unique puzzle game. Its concept, to progress in the game, gives it all its charm. And it is accompanied by its sublime art direction, its magnificent soundtrack, and its very touching story. In our hands, we have a new indie nugget that deserves to be played for a few hours, for the pleasure of our eyes. And above all, our ears.”
9/10 – , France

“Sonority is an interesting and beautiful project that knows how to mix narrative and puzzles very well. And where the latter take all the playable load, with one of the best sound implementations I've seen in a gameplay mechanic.”
85/100 – , Spain

Buzz

  • "Sonority is a lovely puzzle game. It has a very relaxing atmosphere but is reasonably demanding of your grey matter, but never to the point of frustration. [...] It gets my recommendation as it’s one of those titles that soothes even the savage beast."

  • "Sonority is a fresh new take on the genre of puzzle gaming. Day by day, more and more indie developers are stealing the limelight from majority brands, and Sonority deserves every single ray of light it can muster! With a wonderful story and gameplay that doesn’t alienate real-life non-musical instrument players, Sonority is an immersive game you’ll listen to, and lose yourself in, for hours on end."
    8.5/10 -

  • "As soon as I realized what the point of the game is, it started blowing my mind. [...] He [the raccoon] is like the best voice actor ever. If not THE best voice actor I've heard in a video game. Super crazy good. [...] I've never seen a game do anything like this. It is super neat."

About This Game

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.



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.





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

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.
  • Play with keyboard or controller.
