Symphonia is a non-violent precision 2D platformer where you'll use your violin and bow to maneuver around the game world, working to bring music back to it!

Awaken an expansive musical realm in this non-violent and poetic platformer. In Symphonia, you'll use the power of your violin coupled with your platforming skills to gather an orchestra to bring the musical machinery of the world back to life.

In the realm of Symphonia, music acts as a source of life and energy. But since the founders and their orchestra vanished the inhabitants are divided, and the world slowly falls into silence. What if there was a way to gather a new orchestra? That's the question Philemon, the mysterious musician in Symphonia, will have to answer.

In Symphonia, you take on the role of Philemon, a masked musician equipped only with a violin and bow. They use the bow in the game’s platforming elements to navigate the world while playing the violin to bring ancient mechanisms of the world back to life. The gorgeous world of Symphonia is hand-drawn and traditionally animated and features a powerful score.

A unique soundtrack, based on the romantic musical period, crafted by composer Olivier Esman. Enjoy the performance of the Scoring Orchestra Paris, recorded specifically for Symphonia and written by composer Olivier Esman and his team. Play engrossing concerts, each centred around one of the families of instruments – Strings, Brass and Woodwinds.

 

Developer Sunny Peak and indie publisher Headup have released a playable PC demo, giving players a brief introduction to the game and features elements of some of its early levels.

Key Features:

  • Experience and overcome platforming challenges with all of Philemon's abilities
  • Discover various environments that combine music and machinery
  • Use your violin and bow to catapult yourself through the world and complete levels by solving exciting platforming challenges
  • Gather musical Prodigies and play breathtaking concerts to bring music, joy, and glory back to the land
  • Enjoy the performance of the Scoring Orchestra Paris, recorded specifically for Symphonia and written by composers Olivier Esman and Alexandre Bucas-Français

Symphonia is coming to PC (Steam), Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and PlayStation in late 2024.
