Echoes Along the River of Dreams is an interactive game project exploring the relationship between sound, dreams, memory and perception. The experience takes the player through a series of dream-like spaces, where sound plays an important role in shaping the atmosphere and the experience of each environment. Through environmental sound, music, voices and moments of silence, the project explores how sound can influence emotion, create a sense of space, and blur the boundary between memory, dreams and reality.
