Beautiful, Art Nouveau-inspired graphics

Songs of Silence features
Classic 4X Strategy - Lead mighty armies conscripted from a roster of over 100 units as you explore beautiful handmade campaigns and custom multiplayer maps. Outwit your opponents by laying deadly ambushes in the terrain or march right up to the front gates to lay siege to their cities. Manage hard-won resources to rebuild a ravaged realm and defeat your rival kingdoms.
Innovative battle system - Play intense, fast-paced battles as the armies of the realms clash in vicious combat. Set your formation and prepare to engage the enemy, using tactical orders, reinforcements, and divine powers to turn the tide of conflict.
Cards - Songs of Silence offers a fresh take on cards. Instead of collecting and building a deck of cards which are dealt in hands, cards in Songs of Silence represent unique actions granted by heroes and locations. These are then played on the campaign map or during our real-time battles to influence outcome via troop orders, status effects, or direct damage.
Three distinct, powerful factions - Each faction and hero has their distinct play style, both on the strategic map and in battle. Choose from hundreds of card effects, from celestial summons to burning down entire cities. The options are nearly limitless.
Songs of Silence, debuted a brand new trailer during the PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted event on November 30th, 2023. Alongside the trailer, a release window of Spring 2024 was confirmed for the game. Songs of Silence will be released first on PC, with console versions to follow.

Founded by solo developer Samuel North, Pixel Heart Studio is proud to have Airoheart as their first title and is thrilled about the partnership: “Knowing so many great games to come from SOEDESCO in the past, it was surreal to hear from them. I'm feeling blessed to have partnered up and to work with their lovely team behind the scenes."

Airoheart adapts both the deep and emotional storytelling of the Final Fantasy series, as well as the style and charm of the early Legend of Zelda series.
