My first review for @somanygames.co.uk is @lunacystudios.bsky.social's beautiful debut, House of Hikmah! Audio is a standout with its soundtrack by @awintory.bsky.social and virtuosos from the Arab world, full Arabic VO, and immersive sound design from @ashellinthepit.bsky.social
Solve puzzles, encounter historical scholars of the Islamic Golden Age, and uncover timeless lessons in a beautifully imagined House of Wisdom in this narrative-driven 3D adventure game. Learn more on The House of Hikmah in our full review: somanygames.co.uk/review/the-h...

No true synths. That was a rule Austin Wintory @awintory.bsky.social followed when scoring Eternal Strands. What did this mean for the score? Check out the full session - Reimagining High Fantasy: The Score to 'Eternal Strands' on GDC Vault to find out! https://gdcvault.com/ #GDCRewind

🗡️🌊 @mattnava.bsky.social and @awintory.bsky.social have a long career of collaboration, their two creative disciplines intertwined. I remember distinctly how exciting it was when Journey was nominated for a Grammy, and now Sword of the Sea is the latest winner. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04...

House of Hikmah coming this week <3
Just published my review, and I loved it! The game is so beautiful, with the architecture and stylised character design, and @awintory.bsky.social's music is outstanding! Also, as someone who has lost a parent, I related so much to Maya's story, despite there being over 20 years' age difference!
Years ago my lovely friend @FarisAttieh & I connected over grieving our departed fathers & he vowed to make a game exploring grief. He came through & we spent time together in Saudi Arabia recording many musicians , exploring. A real honor to be involved in this passion project
Award-winning composer, @awintory.bsky.social, speaks with Creative Director, Faris Attieh about how he brought The House of Hikmah to life through music. Experience the melodic, emotional tones of Maya's journey on April 8th!
My first (last?) time playing accordion in an awards show :)
