I think he died at the very start. I mean, look, he was mourning, fell down a long, long way, was in blackness, (Like a transaction to hell) and now he went to hell. Who gets me? That's what I think what happened. He couldn't take the hurt of the loss of his loved one. :'(

Based on the greek story of orpheus who
was a musician and fell in love with a wood nymph who
died. He went to the underworld to ask hades to give
her back. Hades said that if he played his music
while he walked out of the underworld, his love would follow
him. Hades also said that if he looked back, his
love would be lost forever. Long story short-
He looked back :(

That was... a very interesting game, I think it deserves to be categorized alongside "Company of Myself" and other philisophical games in terms of ability to make one think- I can see why it would be rated low, however, with multiple levels being infinitely challenging at times and in certain ways- THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU RATE, KIDS!

It looks and feels like an Atari 2600 game. The only difference is that it`s actually good! This is one of my favorite games to play over and over again! 80/5

Orpheus was a skilled minstrel who was to marry Eurydice when she suddenly died. So he traveled into the underworld and convinced Hades with his music to let her go. Hades agreed on the condition that Orpheus could never look at Eurydice-who would follow behind him-until he was out of the underworld.
Orpheus and Eurydice began their travel above, but Orpheus began to fear that he was tricked. So when they were close, he looked behind him and saw his love before she returned to the underworld - hope that clarifies the story a bit ^-^

People are saying that this game is all philosophical; giving their own interpretations and everything. But it's not open for interpretation really...it's the story of Orpheus and Eurydice.

Oh, yes. The classic Greek Mythology story of Orpheus, the bard that make the God of the Underworld, Hades himself, cry. With a gun.

After all these years one of the best games on this site. Beat it so many times and yet running through it is just as challenging and fun every time.

You have to shoot the F*cking dog in the back, otherwise you won't deal any damage...
Same with the other Boss only shooting the head will damage him.

Stickers do not and will not ever exist, what with Kong killing itself, you think they are going to actually bother looking into it? Also, who would do that if everyone got fired? Get informed.

when i jumped down from a platform I could'nt turn and shoot. At first I blamed the keyboard, but then I noticed that he bends his knees and staggers after falling. That's good work on detail!

And btw, here's the basic story on Wikipedia-
"The most famous story in which Orpheus figures is that of his wife Eurydice (also known as Agriope). While walking among her people, the Cicones, in tall grass at her wedding, Eurydice ran into a nest of snakes which bit her fatally on her heel. Distraught, Orpheus played such sad songs and sang so mournfully that all the nymphs and gods wept. On their advice, Orpheus traveled to the underworld and by his music softened the hearts of Hades and Persephone (he was the only person ever to do so), who agreed to allow Eurydice to return with him to earth on one condition: he should walk in front of her and not look back until they both had reached the upper world. He set off with Eurydice following and in his anxiety as soon as he reached the upper world he turned to look at her, forgetting that both needed to be in the upper world, and she vanished for the second time, but now forever."
