About the Game

This game is best experienced with headphones.

Sono is a 2D exploration game where players effortlessly glide through an abstract microcosm collecting lost fragments of sound.

Originally created as an Alt.Ctrl game utilizing a MIDI controller's jog wheel, Sono has now been enhanced to work with Keyboards and Controllers so that more can experience it.


Key Features:

  • Simple & Satisfying - Glide gracefully through a relaxing space, with no fear of failure.

  • Quick Gameplay Experience - Depending on how exploratory you feel, the game's 3 worlds should last between 10-15 minutes.

  • Entrancing Environment - Dive into Sono's universe, a beautiful and mysterious place where sounds are your friends.
