Ugh. If I had to use one word to describe this game it would be frustrating. However the minimalistic style, good story, and infinite lives almost make up for it...almost.

Orpheus was the son of the Muse Calliope and therefore a grand musician. His wife was a dryad, Eurydice, who also attracted the attentions of Aristaeus. Aristaeus pursued her until she stepped on a poisonous snake and was forced into the Underworld. Orpheus was determined to retrieve his beloved. He journeyed down to the underworld, first charming Charon, ferryman of the dead, and lulling to sleep Cerberus, the three-headed watchdog. He encountered Hades, who initially refused to release Eurydice, but Orpheus's music so touched Persephone that she pleaded Orpheus's case, and Hades relented. There was one condition: that Orpheus not look back on their way out. Of course, Orpheus was worried that Eurydice was not behind him, and he fatefully glanced back to see if she was following him. She disappeared back into Hades, and he lost her forever. That is very sad.
KEEP IT GOING

Nicely done. A good game, if a little short.
And i usually hate all that platformer sh*t.
Guess this was easy enough for me...
Simple game with a good atmosphere.

I have to say, for how simple it is, this has to be one of the most enjoyable games I've ever played. It was short, sweet, and touching.

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. This is not a game, this is work of art. I feel like I am a better person for having played it. 5/5.

I generally dont comment, but this game reeked of character. It shows that a game doesnt have to be too complicated to be great. LOVED IT. Not too easy, not too hard, not too long and not too short. Perfect, great music for setting the tone.
10 out of 5
Peace, and hope there are more games like this.

Minimalist style is one thing...having scenes where there's no background (ie, ground, hills, etc.) so you can see what you're standing on, well, it just reminds me of Atari 2600 games that sucked, sorry. 2/5 so far, unless I can really find some sort of redeeming quality...
