STORY

AudioWizards is set in the world of Sondveiw, a world inhabited by an organization called, you guessed it, AudioWizards. The organization was formed to defend Sondveiw from Distortions, nasty creatures that thrive in noise, adamant on consuming the world in it. AudioWizards believe that sound enables their magic and gives meaning to it, but it’s hard to find harmony with all that distorting noise around. You play as an apprentice who travels with a seasoned wizard called Saundaman. Saundaman’s teaching methods are pretty much “learn as you go” while he quenches his never-ending thirst for tea.
