Overture: Sillage

Andrey Sapunov

About this game

Evening light over a Naples alley. An old man plays chess by a doorway.
A basket of figs at the market; the scent of basil on someone's apron.
These are not moments you photograph. They are moments you might
remember, for a while, before they fade.

OVERTURE: SILLAGE is a quiet, meditative mobile game for adults. You follow
David — a perfumer and musician of Armenian heritage — through five
European cities in autumn. Naples. Florence. Prague. Vienna. Reykjavík.
Each city holds moments that become the notes of a perfume he is
composing.

Hold your gaze on a detail in a scene — steam from an espresso, a book
left open, tobacco on someone's fingers. If your attention lingers,
David catches the scent. It enters his notebook as a drifting colour.
But moments evolve. A scene changes while you watch it. What you don't
catch, you lose.

Every scene is a painterly illustration rendered in the spirit of
modern European editorial art. Sorrentino light, Hopper quiet, Sargent
texture. Five cities, five palettes, five atmospheres.

At the end of a journey, bring the captured scents into David's atelier
and compose a perfume. Place notes on the pyramid — top, heart, base.
The game tells you nothing in numbers; you listen for when the
composition sounds right. Four critics receive the release; each
responds in their own voice.
