Moon Whispers

Moon Whispers is a Norse-inspired, witchy dungeon-crawler, built around the game jam theme "Out of the Box" and designed specifically using the WowCube as a controller to navigate an immersive experience on a second screen. Made in Godot and C++ with the WOWCube SDK!

HOW TO PLAY: 

1. Download the Cube app and install on your WOWCube device or use the install link here : https://app.wowcube.com/install-app?app-data-url=https://admin.wowcube.com/api/v...
2. Download the Windows .exe zip and extract
3. Add your Cube to your PC's bluetooth
4. Run the Cube app first, it is 'content heavy' so make take 60 seconds or more to load
5. Now open the windows .exe!
6. Crashes may occur! We find that taking it slow and not using the Cube quickly helps!
7. Main actions are:
   1. Twist Forward / Backward - Move Straight Ahead
      
   2. Twist Top / Bottom - Rotate Camera 90 degrees
   3. Twist Left / Right - Change Moon Phase
   4. Triple Tap Device - Shake Objects In Front Of You to Find Fragments
8. Find all 4 fragments using the WOWCube app's hint system  and lay a weary soul to rest!

WHY: 

We chose to make Moon Whispers to explore how the WOWCube could connect to a second screen in an engaging and meaningful way - so you’ll need to download a cube app AND a windows .exe to play! We have dreams of taking this around conferences and festivals for people to play on a large projected surface and surrounded by high quality ambisonic speakers!

STORY:

The player travels the mysterious spirit realm, the Inbetween, as a ’soul guide’. They must use the phases of the moon and their wits to collect fragments of restless souls, learning their names before they are forgotten and sending them peacefully into the beyond. 

Twist, turn, and explore this surreal world using the WowCube as your key. Talk to the enigmatic guide, Skeletree, to unlock the power of the cube in your hands, your guiding light in the dark. 

Of all the spirits you’ve encountered, his story weaves through them all, and only by being one with the moon cycles will you truly find everything the Inbetween has to offer and return home safely. 

Speaking the lost names calls the souls to their eternal rest, restoring the memory of the land…but what kind of world do our actions and memories create?
