Rêverie: Audio Stories

Put on your headphones, or turn up the sound: the story begins.

Rêverie brings you illustrated audio stories where you decide what happens next. A narrator and a dozen character voices take you into a stormy night in the Middle Ages. Listen in bed or with the family, and enjoy it with your eyes closed too.

A first story, on the house: The Messenger of Corbeval

Rain falls on the road to Corbeval. You are the king's messenger, and against your chest is a sealed letter that must reach the lord before midnight. Someone inside his walls does not want him to read it.
About 40 minutes, 7 endings to discover. Corbeval is completely free.

What awaits you

• You choose. At every turning point, two large cards, left and right. Your decisions change what happens next, and how it ends.
  
• Getting around is effortless. In each place, pick where to go: the forge, the chapel, the tavern… Your character walks there on their own, and you hear every step.
  
• An illustrated audio book. Every place has its illustration, every chapter its title. Optional subtitles, and a night mode that dims the screen.
  
• Replay for another ending. Fast-forward skips the lines you have already heard.
  
• Headphones or speakers. As you like.
  
• Eyes closed, during the story. The choices are read aloud, and one key picks left or right.
  
• Keyboard, mouse or gamepad.
  
• In English and French, voices and text, chosen in the game.
