Heiligenstadt no Uta

2017
Visual Novel
A visual novel of tragic beauty, Heiligenstadt no Uta plunges the player into the final days of a composer haunted by encroaching deafness. Its strength lies in how it uses sound; the unsettling, distorted score and the protagonist's fading hearing create a palpable sense of isolation. The branching narrative, driven by choices that affect the composer's mental state, offers a deeply affecting exploration of loss and the creative process, making each playthrough a new, melancholic experience.

About Heiligenstadt no Uta

View Game Details
Lied, an orphan whose parents supposedly died in an accident, has recently began to live on her own (with her cockatiel Soprano who can talk due to all the magic of her town of Shall). She is also a pianist for her former orphanage but she’s not really that good. Actually she really sucks at both playing piano and cooking. One day she meets a bunch of dudes who happen to have the magical “Falga” powers of famous classical pianists. An evil force called the Forgotten Apostle comes and tries to steal all the sound from the town because of the “evil noise” that’s coming from the darkness inside the performers. Most average people are affected but Lied is safe – so now she joins the musical academy to work with everyone to help restore music back to Shall and defeat the Forgotten Apostle.
