Thanks to your divine voice, you will try to control this wild ocean. You will have to resolve a rhythm game in which the accuracy of your voice will be vital to your survival ...

- Pitch en français -

A l’ère post réchauffement climatique, la planète Terre est une planète Mer. Les frontières d'aujourd'hui n’existent plus, et divers peuples survivent dans un contexte de crise, partagés entre l’Ancien Monde et le Nouveau Monde, entre la surface et les abysses...

Ils viennent vous chercher, ces peuples ennemis. L’heure de la confrontation est proche… Ils ont étudié la science de la 7ème vague, la plus violente, l’unique qui peut vous atteindre.

Juchée sur la nef du Grand Palais quasiment engloutie, au milieu de l’Océan, vous incarnez une sirène cybernétique. Votre but est de faire chavirer les bateaux qui arrivent sur votre territoire. A l’aide de votre divine voix, vous tenterez de maîtriser cet océan déchaîné. Tentez de résoudre un jeu musical où la justesse est de rigueur, sous peine de sombrer à jamais dans les abysses.

- How to play -

Designed for Oculus Rift VR Platform

The game starts simultaneously with the music. You are in the middle of the ocean, with boats surrounding you. 

You will have to succeed 1 level through 7 steps, represented by 7 waves. 

Each wave will correspond to one particular note.

You will kill your enemies by singing perfecly the same note you will hear randomly.  Be careful to the music : the music will decrease when you have to sing and you will hear suddenly a note for 3 secondes. After this bell note, you will have to sing.

There are 7 notes : DO RE MI FA SOL LA SI.

If you sing justly, you succed and pass to the next step ( to the next wave) and kill your enemies. If you are really bad at it, you will lose a life point. You only have 3 so be careful ! The game restarts if you lose.

The game ends when you succeed the 7th wave, the most difficult...
