Game play
This is a Virtual Reality audio puzzle game where the only controller is the position of your gaze.

By looking up, toward the glyphs in the sky, you will hear a harmonic audio track comprised of several sounds.

By looking down, you will be able to focus on stone blocks to "lock in" sounds within the resonator platform.

Each block represents a different sound. When the "locked in" sounds match the harmonic audio track in the sky you advance to the next stage.

There is a totem pole visible that shows how many blocks must be combined to match the track. Each time you succeed a new block will be added to the totem pole.

Once you have built a big enough totem pole to properly tune the resonator you will be teleported to a new resonator with a larger range of sounds to combine.

 

Installation

To install on Android versions 5.0+ (Lollipop) you must enable installation of 3rd party applications. After you have done this you view the .apk file with your Android web browser, download, install, run, and insert into a Google Cardboard compatible VR Housing. Ideally you should wear good quality over-ear headphones as well.
