Any game made heavily with sound effects and music

[troylowyee]

Hi i am thinking of making a game heavily reliant on music and sound effects to help the gameplay.

I am an aspiring music and sound effects composer so I am actually thinking of ideas where I can create a game that allows the user to navigate the world through sound effects.

I dont really like RPGs but it seems like one of the only solution.

It might be a mobile phone game or a warcraft game i'll see how it goes

So basically syncing music with the gameplay somehow? If you succeed it would be awesome.

Yes i can do sound effects and compose various types of music, i just dont want it to be rpg or a puzzle game. Ive been thinking for awhile but i cant come up with any real solution. The game might be totally black (visualless) or might rely heavily on audio, this might cater to blind people. A game that they can actually play and be really good at. I'll probably use audio clues like reverb, panning and high pitch and low pitch frequencies to tell the player whether the object is far away or near and at which side (left or ride)

Reverb would probably be heavily used to map a visual space to the user but thats easier said then done.

I recently played an indie game that tried to emulate how a blind person perceives the world; basicly, the environment around the main character is completely white, but whenever you hear a sound or touch something, the object that made the sound or that you touched became visible.

There was an old steam mod where you play as a blind monk. The visuals were just pitch black. Realy, no effects or anything, just the sound.

It was rather hard to finish it though!
