This story is part of our Summer Gaming Marathon series.
Netflix showed up at Summer Game Fest this year to show off games like the supernatural island life game Cozy Grove: Camp Spirit and action RPG The Dragon Prince: Xadia, but the game at its booth that stuck with me the most was an adventure game about Deaf culture called Harmonium : The Musical.
Harmonium The Sign Language Musical | Reveal Trailer | Game Awards 2023 The primary way The Odd Gentleman achieved this was through collaboration with deaf developers and the Deaf community at large. He specifically credits Morgan Baker, a deaf game designer who worked at The Odd Gentleman and is now game accessibility lead at EA, with helping the studio nail down Harmonium’s design early on in development.
‘This is going to be silly if deaf people can’t play’ I went hands-on with some of Harmonium: The Musical, and its presentation and puzzles felt very unique. The game is still vibrant and full of music, but most dialogue happens through sign language. Korba tells us that Harmonium will have traditional adventure game inventory puzzles, but the demo I checked out featured some puzzles more uniquely tailored for this game as they were based around players controlling a deaf character.
