The visuals, that were hand painted using Quill, makes the experience feel like exploring a three dimensional painting.
It was developed under the pandemic of 2020, from home offices and cabins throughout Norway, and released on January 14th, 2021. During spring of 2021 it was nominated for “Best Audio” at the IGF, and the “Digital Moment Award” at A-Maze, with even more nominations and awards to follow in 2022.
Taking artistic inspiration from expressionist painters like Monet and Munch and focusing on a powerful 3D audio experience with breath-taking choir work, Sunlight will leave you feeling entranced and in wonder in this artistic approach to telling you a story.
