Inspiration
Recital of the Heart started as a dream, as many works do. This time literally, though. After an actual dream left Dante Chambers with flashes of this game in his mind for years, production of Recital of the Heart finally began. Inspired by many things, the game mirrors the ancient tale of Orpheus and Eurydice.
The story grows to encompass so much more, however. It’s a story about stories, an act of creation about creating. It pulls from poetry, music, literary works, and the sketches and paintings of the greatest to ever do it, to seek cohesion in the chaos of art. At it’s core it tells one of the oldest stories there are, of a man searching for a woman. A knight fights to save a princess, discovering what loving someone truly means. Perhaps things are never simple, however. After all, what a story is truly about… …is simply in the way you tell it. |
