About this game
Orpheus seeks Helene across lands inhabited by people, gods and monsters. Jump through action areas, fight with the selected weapon and speak to inhabitants for clues. The journey requires moving between lands rather than treating every place as a one-way stage. Divine equipment changes access: sandals improve jumps and allow ceiling attachment, while Prometheus’ fire can burn obstacles or illuminate caves. Temples provide continuation passwords, and collected olives serve as currency.
