Harmonium the Musical is an accessible musical journey

And it looks damn cool.

Harmonium the Musical was today announced by The Odd Gentlemen at the Game Awards 2023.

Developed in partnership with the deaf community, the musical is sure to tug at your heartstrings.

Harmonium is an interactive sign language musical and adventure/narrative game that follows Melody Macato, an energetic 10-year-old Filipina-American musician who became Deaf at a young age,” The Odd Gentlemen said of their new work.

“For her upcoming debut show, she wants to create a new type of music that can be felt, seen, and is accessible to her friends. When Melody’s notes leap off the page, she is pulled into a musical and visual wonderland called Harmonium.

“To make it home in time for her big show, Melody has to face Cacophony, an all-consuming force who can only be defeated with a masterpiece symphony. In a world where all music is visualized, players explore the wonders of Harmonium through innovative gameplay mechanics and narrative puzzles that incorporate American Sign Language and allow the player to communicate through body language, handshapes, and gestures.”

Harmonium the Musical is promised for “Netflix Games & Microsoft Game Pass”; we’ll keep you informed as we learn more.
