Description
Orpheus' love Eurydice has been cruelly taken by Hades on their wedding day. In anguish Orpheus vows to charm his way into the underworld and demand his wifes return!
A short game made by Mitchell Brien and Finnian Millour for our last ever Uni project. We had 8 weeks to design it, learn Actionscript 3, and build it. Yay!

Very nice game. I have only two complaints: 1: It's so short. 2: That one crucial part of the story (you know what I mean) should have been mentioned so that people who don't know the story actually get the whole thing at the end. Still, I liked this a lot and would love to see more of it.

At the core of this game are the audio puzzles. They are well-presented, decent puzzles which could be easily developed further (e.g., input method, rhythm, variety). The walking/jumping exploration feels at odds with the core gameplay - I wonder if the game would work if built entirely around the musical inputs..? The art style and presentation work well, and the audio itself is atmospheric.

Beautiful graphics, great music. While the gameplay is interesting to begin with it wouldn't hold up for a longer game. Would like to see more of your work, however. 4/5

Really enjoyed the concept of this game - could be neat to have puzzles or battles that require figuring out the tune to beat. This would also be a great way to learn to read music if you used notes on a staff instead of alphabetical letters.
