Harmony: The Fall of Reverie

In the very near future… When Polly returns home after a few years abroad to look for her missing mother, she quickly realizes that her hometown has drastically changed. A megacorporation named MK is using its power to control the population, and her community is in danger.

She soon discovers that she has a gift of clairvoyance that connects her to Reverie, the realm of the Aspirations of Humanity: Glory, Bliss, Power, Chaos, Bond, and Truth. In this world, Polly becomes Harmony, a goddess who has the power to choose the Aspiration that will ultimately rule over Reverie and restore the delicate balance between the deities’ world and ours.
 
The fate of humanity is at stake.
To which destiny do you aspire?

DECIDE YOUR DESTINY

As Polly, or Harmony, each action you take will affect both worlds and send you down sprawling narrative paths. See into the future and explore the consequences of possible choices in the Augural, a game board and visual representation of Polly’s gift of foresight. In pursuing whichever destiny you desire, you’ll also bond with and obtain crystals from the Aspirations. These will unlock different paths at important crossroads that will change how the thread of the story unravels, and ultimately the fate of humanity.

FIND THE NEW HEART OF HUMANITY

Whichever Aspiration comes to lead Reverie, with Harmony’s help, will also become the heart of humanity. Their personality and style of rule will change Reverie while also giving the people of our world a new direction too: when the link between worlds is stronger, Reverie has a bigger influence on the state of our world.

 

Glory, Bliss, Power, Chaos, Bond, and Truth are all wildly different entities with their own distinct personalities, goals, and opinions on how to make things better. You’ll get to know each of them as visit Reverie in your dreams as Harmony, but only you know best – as Polly – what your world needs.

A COLORFUL WORLD

As you play, revel in artistic direction that is bright, vibrant, and futuristic. Immerse yourself in the daily life of a Mediterranean city and get to know its people, with a cast of characters who are fully voiced and animated. Enjoy an enchanting soundtrack by award-winning composer, Lena Raine.

Visit two distinct worlds

Meet the Aspirations

Harmony/Polly

Chaos

Power

Truth

Bond

Glory

Bliss

Harmony/Polly

In Reverie, Polly becomes Harmony, a goddess who has the power to choose the Aspiration that will ultimately rule over Reverie and restore the delicate balance between the deities’ world and ours.

Chaos

The world is old. Everybody is old. And Chaos is at the peripheral, out of place, unprooted, aimless, lawless, just Them. In all their excess and demands and total absence of trust in themself or others. In their awkward lanky body and asphyxiated skin. In this world everything has its place, except for them. Chaos is a moody teenager (or a cat), brutal and cold yet capable of humor and warmth. Seductive when needs be. Sometimes depressed and melancholic, other times energetic and flamboyant.

Power

Power is the Aspiration of order, control, domination, the force that moves the world forward with his will. He is an arbiter, the one that distributes responsibilities equally and makes the final call when nobody else can, according to a code and oftentimes ambiguous moral principles. Power is highly charismatic and individualistic, he has no malice, but he considers himself the legitimate de facto leader in every situation.

Truth

Truth is the hieratic, sententious Aspiration of all things immutable and reasonable. They are the balance between all the elements of reality, the fair judge of what is true and what isn’t. They consider the cosmic order and the particularities of every conscious being. Truth is the weaver of prophecies and the all-seeing eye of Reverie, capable of predicting what will be and seeing everything that could have been. They care deeply about the fate of dreams and devote their existence to ensuring the future can come to pass.

Bond

An old person with deep wrinkles and knotty, almost root-like limbs. A God anchored in Reverie, a counselor that reunites, advises, and nurtures. His driving force is the meaning of things: understanding what we are, where we are going and how to share our experiences. A conductor with no ego, in a perpetual quest for communication. Bond is the kindest of all Aspirations, he is the connection between all things & strength in numbers. Selfishness is a foreign concept for him.

Glory

Glory is one of the most sought-after aspects of humanity to celebrate its genius, one that promises joy and miracle to their followers. Everything is justifiable in the name of glory and Glory herself, fed by social media and society’s profound division that favors success and self-gain. Selfish by essence, Glory always wants more. A cult formed around her persona, a religion starved for immortality. A throne above the Aspirations. She wants to become more than a Deity. She wants to be the world itself.

Bliss

Bliss is the incarnation of carefree happiness. She lives in an eternal playroom filled with sources of amusement and joy. She likes every drink and every drug in moderation and she’ll try anything once. For her, happiness is the measure of all things. She likes all things new, out of the ordinary, that she then dilutes in her well-being soup: she gets tired of things very easily. Bliss is scared and hangs on the belief that things will never change, that the eternity is paved with safety and happiness.

AN ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK BY LENA RAINE

Lena Raine on her work for the soundtrack in this Eurogamer article:

 

“As soon as I began writing for Harmony, I knew I wanted to take it in the direction of analogue and digital sounds. Lots of synthesisers, lots of processing, lots of saturation. With a few exceptions, I wanted to limit how many ‘real’ instruments I was using, to be able to fully craft the aesthetic of the world.”

Will you find the truth – no matter the cost? 

 

Sam Higgs left his hometown, and everyone he knows, behind two years ago.
But the death of his best friend Nick calls the former investigative journalist back to confront the town’s troubled past—and his own.


He soon becomes drawn into a dangerous web of intrigue as all is not as it seems in the small town of Basswood, West Virginia…

Remember, reflect, reveal
Explore Sam’s unique and analytical ways in his expansive Mind Palace, where you can revisit his past, relive old memories, and reconstruct events. There, you can go through possible scenarios, envision how things could’ve gone, and follow the clues to your next lead. Be careful, though—the Mind Palace is a reflection of Sam’s state of mind, for better or worse.
The Twin Mirror
You can also speak with your Double, who is the more social and empathic side of yourself that nobody else can see. You must navigate the dangers of Sam’s conflicted thoughts and feelings together: will your Double become a trusted confidante or an unwelcome guest?
Choose your path
In Twin Mirror, every decision you make alters the course of your investigation, as well as your relationships in Basswood. Trust others or rely only on yourself in your hunt for the truth. But no matter your choices, your story is yours. Take a look in the mirror—what will you see?

Characters

Sam

Joan

Anna

Nick

Sam

1

A former investigative journalist, Sam has an unusually analytical mind. Its unique abilities take the form of a multifaceted Mind Palace. It’s this unique mind that can lead him to dissociate from the social arena, where his logical, analytical personality sometimes hurts those around him. However, Sam can count on help from the Double, a more empathic and sociable version of himself that only he can see. This ally is there to guide him and help him blend into a society that sometimes rejects the unorthodox. Through these human qualities the Double is able to offer Sam an alternative when he needs to make important decisions.

Joan

1

Joan is a smart teenager, independent and very mature for her age. She tries to keep her emotions to herself because she can’t stand the hypocrisy of the adults around her. She loves graphic novels and cycling, and she would like to study insects because she finds them fascinating. She’s very angry at Sam, her godfather, for leaving town and not being in touch for years. Rocked by her father’s recent death, will she be able to forgive Sam for not being there?

Anna

1

Anna is a freelance journalist at Basswood Jungle, the local newspaper. She’s an independent woman with a strong moral compass. Also from Basswood, she cares about people and is an activist for causes that matter to her. She once had a love affair with Sam but left him several years ago. Like Sam, she’ll do anything to solve the mystery around the death of Nick, with whom she had recently been in a relationship.

Nick

1

Nick, aged 35 when he died, was Sam’s best friend. Determined, meticulous, and passionate about his work as a journalist, his recent discoveries had led him to become increasingly distant from girlfriend Anna and daughter Joan. His tragic death raises many questions…

I fell in love with the life is strange games. Life is Strange 2 came close to home. As a mexican immigrant myself seeing representation on game was so important. The story was filled with so many important subjects such discrimination, the dangers of religious cults, and most importantly the bond between brothers. Overall a very beautiful game.
