The world
In Halvane, nothing exists until it is rung. Nine hundred years ago the Mother Bell of Ashmere was struck for the first time, and every river, law and name in the world answered. Since then an order of smiths called the Bellwrights has kept the Bell in tune, and with it, reality.
Forty years ago, on the Night of the Wrong Note, the Mother Bell cracked. Ever since, the Hush has spread out of the fracture: white, soundless storms that erase whatever they cover. Towns forget their own names. Rivers stop. People walk into the fog and are never remembered.
You are Wren Callow, the last Bellwright alive. The Choir Ascendant want to recast the Bell from living voices. The Hushed believe silence is mercy. Whoever reaches the Bell first decides whether Halvane is rung back into being, or allowed to go quiet forever.
When the Mother cracks, the rivers will listen for her and hear nothing.
Seven bells in one pair of hands, and the hands will go deaf.
The Choir will sing with mouths that are not theirs.
The Hushed will smile, and the smiling will be kind.
And the last of the smiths will stand at the fracture and choose:
to ring the world again, or to let it finally rest.

Gameplay
You play Wren Callow, travelling Halvane with a peal of seven bells on your back. You explore by sound, fight by striking chords, and every choice you make rings out across the world.
Every enemy has a pitch. Strike notes in combinations to build chords: Root and Rend shatter armour, Ward and Still raise a wall of sound, Call drags a foe toward you. Learn a creature's frequency and a single perfect chord can break it apart.
Magic is paid for with your Hearing meter. Ring too much and Wren starts to go deaf: the soundtrack drops away, colour drains from the screen and enemies only appear in the echo of your last strike. Rest at a Quiet Shrine to recover, if you can find one.
The map is not drawn until you ring it. Strike a bell to send out an echo that reveals hidden paths, buried belfries and things inside the Hush that should not be breathing. Different notes reveal different secrets.
Decisions do not end when you make them. Spare a Hushed pilgrim and you may hear her voice in a choir three regions later. Silence a town to save it and its people forget you were ever there. Four faction endings, and one ending nobody has heard yet.
