About the Game



"Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds." - J. Robert Oppenheimer

Key Features:
  • Navigate and search for a means for escape as you explore the cold and empty space facility.
  • Immerse yourselves in the atmospheric sounds and world of Effugium!

Effugium was developed by Team Glasses, a team of two students from USC Games in collaboration with the Berklee College of Music.
