In the captivating world of Symphonia, music isn’t just an art form; it’s the essence of life and energy. However, with the mysterious disappearance of the founders and their beloved orchestra, the land finds itself in a descent towards silence. It leaves us pondering: could there be a way to form a new orchestra? That’s exactly the challenge facing Philemon, the enigmatic musician whose journey you’ll follow in Symphonia.
Let’s delve into what Symphonia has to offer. You’ll play as a fascinating violinist, resurrected in a fading world, using both your violin and bow not just for music but as a mode of transport. Propel yourself across the landscape, solving intriguing platforming puzzles, and reawaken the dormant systems that breathe life and vibrancy into this unique environment.
Embrace a world where music is around every corner, inspired by the symphonic orchestra and populated with an array of colorful characters. Each section of Symphonia presents a unique atmosphere and character, and each room is meticulously designed. You’ll encounter talented musicians along the way, and your task will be to persuade them to become part of the orchestra once again.
Symphonia shines with a distinctive soundtrack that harkens back to the romantic era, crafted by Olivier Esman. Featuring the orchestral prowess of the Scoring Orchestra Paris, the soundtrack is a collaborative effort with Esman’s partners Alexandre Bucas-Français and Lou Corroyer. Prepare to be immersed in concerts that revolve around different families of instruments—Strings, Brass, and Woodwinds—each offering a rich, engaging experience.
