First-person musical adventure where your melodies change the world
First-person musical adventure where your melodies change the world
Why make this game?
We propose a new way of playing with music, one that's not just a rhythm game. We seek to emphasize aspects of music that games often overlook.
Selve is more than just another rhythm game, you are basically a walking 8-note instrument that you can customize and use to perform one of the two Mulong rituals, the Mul mud ritual or play one of the sacred melodies.
In Selve you take on the role of a young member of the Mulong tribe from Selve Island, your goal is to retrieve all the Mulong cards and restore the health of the water supply.

Features
Sing freely to the Mud Mul; any melody will do, as long as the Mud opens its eyes. To complete the ritual, you must throw the mud onto solid ground. This way, you will summon a Mud creature, a being that lives between the earthly and the spiritual.
Mud creatures can have one of three functions: destruction, healing, or manipulation. The type of creature you summon will depend on the characteristics of the melody you sang.
The Mulong have created sacred melodies that do not require the use of Mul mud, but must be played perfectly to properly work.
There are several melodies with interesting powers, with them you'll be able to control the weather, the time, uncover the memories of the characters and restore the health and balance of this tribe. There are also some really dangerous melodies that we shouldn't discuss here.
Some characters will not cooperate with your mission, will you manipulate them using your musical powers?
Mul mud can be used to manipulate the minds of other tribe members, the mud creature will leave them in a vulnerable state of mind, if you engage in conversation and decide to manipulate another person, you will get what you want, but there will be consequences.
Your voice in this game is a very customizable synthesizer, if you change different proportions of your body, your sound will be different.
Adjust the values to get the sound you like best for your voice. Upon completing the game's story, more options for refining this synthesizer will become available.
Story
On Selve Island lives the Mulong tribe. They are beings with fascinating musical powers. With their voices, singing melodies, they can manipulate nature and even the minds of others.
After many years of war against colonizers from the Pris country, the Mulong have been reduced to a handful of people. These are the worst moments for the Mulong tribe. Fate is against them. The spirits seem to be angry with them, as they have cursed the village's only water supply, turning it into blood.
The tribe's leader, Eol, seeks to understand the spirits and their message. To do this, you will be tasked with finding the Mulong cards, which contain the lost knowledge of the Mulongs.
And thus begins your adventure in this world, in which you must find your voice and use it wisely.
Will you do as you're told?
Will you manipulate your opponents?
Will you dare to be heard?
