Welcome to soundStrider

Hello psychonauts,

I'm pleased to announce that the soundStrider demo is live on Steam! I've been working on this game full-time for five months. In that time it's grown from its initial concept as an auditory exploration game into a psychedelic walking simulator filled with imaginative environments. All of its procedurally generated sounds are synthesized in real-time to evoke naturalistic, musical, and abstract spaces.

Its latest alpha update contains several changes for everyone playing the demo:

Optimizations for all environmental sounds
Improvements to world generation and object behavior
Minor tweaks and fixes

Also included is a new breathing animation for its visualizer:

Progress on the game is advancing quickly. Over the next two months I plan to add over a dozen new sounds, more quests, and some secrets to discover. I'm looking forward to sharing more with you soon.

In the meantime, please enjoy the demo, share your favorite bookmarks below, and add soundStrider to your wishlist.

Cheers!
