News:: Tripping through Songbringer's spiritual adventure

Songbringer exists at the intersection of nostalgia and innovation. Within the game's pixels are millions of unique worlds. It's The Legend of Zelda by way of Hyper Light Drifter, with one important distinction. Every player must input a six-letter code, which generates a dynamic landscape to explore.

Random generation and game-specific love letters aren't uncommon in the indie space. Songbringer, with its overworld exploration and numerous dungeons, can be seen as developer Nathanael Weiss' send-up to Zelda's oblique adventure. But despite player-seeded environments and a familiar structure, Weiss' singular vision shines through in a litany of personal touches.
