Inspiration
‘Recital of the Heart’ started as a dream, as many works do. This time literally though. After an actual dream from one of the developers left them with flashes of this game in their minds for years, production of ‘Recital of the Heart’ finally began. Inspired by many things, RotH mirrors closely to the tale of Orpheus and Eurydice, but grows to encompass so much more. It’s a story about stories, an act of creation about creating. It’s a tale for the audience and the artists alike. It pulls from greek tragedies, old poems, classic pieces of music, renowned literary works, and the sketchings and paintings of the greatest to ever do it, to create cohesion in the chaos of art. Beyond the greater whole though, at it’s core it tells one of the oldest stories there are. Of a man searching for a woman. Of a knight coming to save a princess, and what loving someone might truly mean. But perhaps things are never quite that simple, when we look further within. After all, what a story is truly about…
…is simply in the way you tell it. |
