Journey
When Journey begins, there are no text boxes or voice overs. There’s just music and movement. In a kinetic game without speech, the music swells to bring atmosphere, tone, and intrigue. The delicate mixture of string and piano harmonies is Journey’s way of singing, much like when your character chirps his or her own melody.
