What
is an Interactive AudioExperience?
Interactive
Audio Experience is a type of video game where the textual and graphic elements
are entirely substituted by the audio component. In this respect, it would be
more precise to call it an “audio game”.
Places,
objects and characters are presented and described through the protagonist's
narration and through the “reconstructed” ambience sounds: the player
interacts with the story's leading character, influencing his main choices and
determining the course of events.
The
player will therefore need to make choices in key moments of the narration, by
using his/her smartphone: your smartphone will substitute your mouse and
keypad, just like your imagination will substitute the visual elements.
How
do I play?
Trying
an Interactive Audio Experience could not be easier! You simply need to immerse
yourself in the narration and leave room for your own imagination.
The
only instrument you will be able to use, in order to survive, is your
smartphone: this means you will need to move, insert codes, take pictures, make
phone calls, use your Flashlight, use vocal commands and many other things, to
help our hero and other characters get out of trouble... or not.
The
bravest listeners will choose which road to follow, will decide who to save and
who to condemn, living a totally new experience, which will provide different
sensations to different players.
It's
a leap into a dark room, which conceals all the colours of our imagination.
It's a leap into the unknown!
Who
knows if blood has the same shade for each and every one of us?
Accessibility
For this project we are getting in touch with an association of blind
people to study an interface fully useable by people with vision problems and
to make this platform narrative used by this kind of users.
Diary
of a survivor
The
audio recordings and the sound construction of the new, interactive Horror
Project “Io Vivo” will be realized by Excitech Postworks.
The
first episode, “Diary of a survivor” (running time of 2 hours ca.) will be
available in English and Italian and downloadable from app stores.
It
will be distributed on the market's different platforms as a standalone app.
The
app, will offer the opportunity to purchase the following episodes “In
App”.
The
sound design and the final mix of the scenes it's made by our staff. The engine
for the game must be built around these audio clips to allow the player to
choose how to get the story.
The
game will have a minimal interface, you must use the opportunities that really
a smartphone offers simulating the actions that the protagonist takes in
history. The player (and the protagonist) in some situations will need to dial
a phone number (in an interface that simulates the call) or another to choose
how to proceed events, decide to use or not the led flashlight, throw a punch
(detected by the accelerometer of the device), etc. ..
The
casting is currently being completed; the voice-over artists involved in the
Italian version, will be Rome-based actors regularly involved in the dubbing of
film and television projects.
The
director in charge will be Stefano Brusa, who has a long-standing experience in
dubbing and radio projects.
