About the Game

Orpheus is a short, cinematic horror game about a rover across a dead world on humanity's most desperate mission.

THE STORY

ACROSS EVERY CONTINENT, BLINDNESS IS SPREADING. NO FIELD OF SCIENCE CAN EXPLAIN WHY

THE BLIND DESCRIBE VISIONS OF A WORLD — THE SAME SURFACE, THE SAME SKY

IN A DESPERATE SEARCH FOR ANSWERS, A PLANET WAS FOUND

HUMANITY SENT AN AUTONOMOUS ROVER — ORPHEUS — TO JOURNEY INTO THE UNKNOWN

YOU WILL RECEIVE ITS SIGNAL

FEATURES

  • A focused cinematic experience designed to be completed in a single sitting

  • Pilot a remote rover across uncharted terrain, stopping at marked coordinates to document your findings

  • Horror built on isolation, observation, and the slow dread of each new stop

  • Every destination feels like a step closer to something you were never meant to find

THE GAMEPLAY

Reach each set of coordinates and use your drill, recorder, and camera to document your findings. But with every stop, the weight of what you are documenting grows into something you cannot explain and cannot escape.
