The story

In Resonance you experience the story of the space pilot Robert Wallace and the neuroscientist Catriona Bruce. Through a chain of circumstances, these divorced spouses are chosen to explore the space station DIOMHAIR 16 in the year 2301, to which all radio contact has been lost. However, their landing is anything but smooth and so the two are confronted with bigger problems than their unprocessed separation. Terrible things have happened on board and soon it is not only survivors but also a way off the station to find. In the process, the characters not only learn the dark secrets that led to the disaster on the DIOMHAIR 16, but also get caught up in supernatural events, the resonances. In the process, they delve into their own pasts and relive formative moments of their lives together. The fate of the two and that of the entire space station is in your hands. Will you manage to repair what has been destroyed?

And thanks to their digital journal, you'll document every record you find and can look at it over and over again. Do you have what it takes to traverse a damaged space station?

To the stars and beyond

In 2301, the Interstellar Life and Military Cooperation, as a joint project of wealthy industrialists is the dominant space agency. Explore DIOMHAIR 16, which the Cooperation operated as a research station, and be prepared to discover the ethically and morally questionable experiments conducted here in the service of science. But be sure that it will not be a pretty sight. On the hands of the Cooperation and on the corridors of the station, there is the blood of those who went too far.

The origins of Resonance

Mittweida University of Applied Sciences has been offering the Media Informatics and Interactive Entertainment degree program since 2011 and has since been training creative students in a variety of disciplines. The goals and content of this bachelor's degree program are shaped by the current professional image of modern media informatics in the Web 2.0 environment. The course of studies offers students the opportunity to educate themselves in the field of designing creative content or creating informatic applications as they wish. In the fifth semester, all media informatics students of the class of 2016 developed Resonance in a development team of 40 students over a period of almost 4 months. This final project was presented to the public at beta, the university's in-house games conference.

We would like to thank our hardworking team leaders, our great project teams, our helpers, friends, family and everyone else who gave us patience, strength and trust along the way. We are proud of Resonance and hope you have fun playing it.
