Auditorium Video Game Series

Party 01 January 2009

A logic game by Cipher Prime that combines puzzle solving with audiovisual experiences. The gameplay in Auditorium is divided into 15 acts that consist of over 70 varied levels. In every one of those, our task is to control the stream of sounds in a way that makes it fill the containers placed in the level. This can be achieved by using special icons that change the path and speed of flight of a sound beam as well as its color if set correctly. When it reaches its target in the right shape, we can hear one of the songs composed solely for the purposes of the game. What’s important, the title gives us plenty of freedom, letting us achieve our goal in a number of ways. The production features minimalistic but pleasant graphics and a soundtrack that changes with our progress.

A sequel to the 2009’s logic game by Cipher Prime that originally combined puzzles with a music game and presented it in a minimalistic yet stylish way. In Auditorium 2: Duet, the basic gameplay mode remains the same and the player’s task is to direct a beam of sound to one of several marked fields on a two-dimensional level. To achieve this, we have to split this beam and change its direction and color, using various lenses and special spheres that interact with it. Every beam is connected to a melodic section of a song that can be heard after completing a given level. The novelty in the sequel is the multiplayer mode in which two players cooperate with one another in the same level on work individually on two separate ones that affect each other.
