ORPHEUS and the strings of light
Platformer 2D
My first "big" video game.
​
Live a quiet and relaxing experience through Orphée and his epic voyage to become the child of light.
​
During this voyage, use the gifts you receive from the "strings of light" thanks to your zither to explore the world, uncover its wonders, and tackle its challenges.
