Far from Noise

Far From Noise is not a game for everyone. If you go in expecting traditional gameplay, you will be highly disappointed, but if you approach it with the understanding of it being almost like a picture book, then you will be in for a magnificently written reflection of yourself as well as musings on some of the heaviest topics about life. We went into this expecting a short title with a bizarre premise, and walked away having consumed a beautiful, occasionally melancholic story that helped us understand ourselves a little better along the way.
"Far from Noise" is a narrative-driven game that takes place in a precarious setting: your character is perched on the edge of a cliff in a stranger's car. Throughout the game, you'll engage in conversations with various characters, exploring themes of life, existence, and the passage of time. The game's unique selling point is its focus on storytelling and character development, rather than traditional gameplay mechanics.
