В городе Фонополис население управляется с помощью некоего «гласа». Воля верховного лидера доносится до каждого трудящегося посредством развешанных тут и там громкоговорителей. Если работяга приуныл минутку на работе, то зычный голос тут же выведет его из состояния тунеядства и подтолкнет к немедленному продолжению трудовой деятельности. Вот и работающий на свалке Феликс продолжал перерабатывать мусор на своем агрегате, пока земля под ним не провалилась и он не очутился в старом театре. Раньше-то, оказывается, мир звучал совсем иначе. А для тех, кто хочет жить своим умом, в таинственном месте

Czech indie developers Amanita Design – creators of Samorost, Creaks and Machinarium, among other marvels – have released a demo for Phonopolis, their 3D cardboard adventure about a young man called Felix who is trying to save a city brainwashed by massive loudspeakers. Protected by his headphones, Felix is on a mission to stop the authoritarian Leader from issuing the Absolute Tone, which will “strip every citizen of their humanity forever”. Seems like a thing to avoid! Read more
