About the Game

A door to an abandoned temple. A whispering column of wind. Are objects really singing as they move through the air, or is it just your weary mind manifesting a melody from idle pieces of luxury littered around your bedroom?

From Viacom NEXT and musician Hot Sugar comes a Virtual Reality experience where you move between worlds to layer melodies in a hungry tornado; seeking to unlock a song that has been eluding you your whole life.

Features:

  • Discover over 80 unique melodies, crafted from the combinations of different objects.
  • Enjoy the first music album exclusively available in Virtual Reality.
  • A visual, interactive soundscape borne from the mind of Hot Sugar (The Roots, Broad City)
  • Best enjoyed in full positional VR on the HTC Vive.
  • No doves were harmed in the making of this experience.
