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.
