Orpheus the Orb is on his way to the underworld to strike a bargain with the king of the dead. Join Orpheus on a calm but engaging adventure where parallel roads lead across realms.

Theme: Parallel
Interpretation: An adventure where you can jump deeper into the background or back to avoid obstacles on either layer. 

This game was made in 7 days for the Pursuing Pixel James Jam Game Gam #3 (PPJJGG). I (Lucas Ljunggren) did most of the work on this game, handling production, programming, art production and art direction. The amazing Caleb Calvo Santana helped out with sound effects and music. Although not typically a composer, he built a digital instrument to aid in performing the music you hear in game. This game was worked on with a lot of passion and a lot of love. The average work time per day was around 5 hours. 

Orpheus is my current Magnum Opus, it's a combination of all the techniques I've learnt and all the ones I've wanted to learn. It's a spiritual successor to Sisyphe and a very worthy one at that.
