Matthew LoPresti’s app, *Soundstory: 10:00pm*, can be found in the [iOS app store](http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/soundstory-10-00pm/id534618402?mt=8&affId=1671662&ign-mpt=uo%3D4&ref=killscreen.com), inconspicuously categorized under “Books.” However, if you’re in the mood for a familiar literary experience, move along. This experiemental, genre-bending piece of software, illustrated in grayscale pixel-art, shares little with traditional books and plenty with hybrid art forms. In *Soundstory: 10:00pm*, players page through the computer of George Wells, reading news headlines, email correspondence, and journal entries, superimposed over a skyscraper backdrop and 8-bit musical score.

According to LoPresti, the app is simply “something that does something, resulting in the creation of a new world through the power of literature, music, visual art.” Many games could be described as such, though few are as transparent in their relationship with classic art mediums. Spend a few minutes with *Soundstory: 10:00pm* and— between uncovering an epistolary narrative, paging through pixelated imagery and absorbing a quirky soundtrack— you’ll feel as though you read a book, listened to music, and contemplated visual art simultaneously… or something.
