INITEN

The Game

INITEN is a third-person exploration experience in which sound plays an important part!

The game takes place in a deserted land, in which life has become rare ...  The blazing sun has dried up everything, from the river to the grass. Even the big region plants struggle to find enough ressources to flourish.

Abuchi, a nomad that travels through this desert has found a region plant seedling, and wants to find a place in which it could flourish. She must find a way to revive the desert and make it a place in which life springs.

But, in INITEN, life and sounds are closely related. Indeed, sound can be compared to a sort of life energy. This specificity is going to be very useful for our character Abuchi. Our hero has a very special and unique ability : she can see sounds.

Each sound Abuchi can hear is visible as a colorful fluid shape evolving in the environment, near the source of the sounds. For example: imagine, a bird singing. Not only can you hear the sound, you can also see it. Those sounds can be used as a sort of special energy to revive lifeless vegetation!
