Description

In W|RE, you play as a veteran hitman, bored of routine assignments, who takes a powerful drug that radically alters his perception. He no longer sees the world normally – he perceives sound as light. Every noise sends out colorful waves that briefly illuminate the world in glowing outlines.

In this distorted reality, your mission is clear: travel to the target location and eliminate your enemies on behalf of your employer. The faster you complete the job, the more you’ll get paid.

Fight your way from room to room, where enemies lie in wait, and take them down with everything you’ve got. If you’re not satisfied with your speed and precision – try again. Repeat until you reach perfection.

We started this project with the ambition to make a shooter connected to music and found a possibility with an early shader prototype. From there on out we experimented with different ways to expand the idea and took inspiration from “Hotline Miami”.
