Description

Bardella and the Curse of Silence is a short demonstration Metroidvania video game that involves Wwise middleware audio integration with a heavy emphasis on audio output as not just an artistic element, but a narrative and gameplay element as well. Heavily influenced by works such as Hollow Knight and Ori and the Will of the Wisps, this demonstration is a glimpse into a larger world where music is wielded as a magical force, and a curse of silence devastates the land.
