Opus: Rocket of Whispers is a single-player third-person adventure set in the snowy post-apocalyptic wilderness of an unknown world, far in the future. Players will play as the last survivors of a nation that has an ancient tradition of cosmic worship, and belief that by launching space burials, those who've deceased will be able to return and rest among the stars. Throughout the game players will travel the snow covered landscape, scavenging for rocket parts and remnants of the past, so they may help the last surviving witch - religious figures who conduct the rituals of space burials - to launch one final burial. The game explores themes of purpose, pursuit and loneliness.

Even if I didn't like the gameplay that much, it is ultimately a story with a gameplay element attached to it. I can say with no doubt that I enjoyed going through the story. you essentially play the game after twenty years of a plague that killed and only left a fraction of a percent alive. you play as John and you meet a witch and that witch is called Fai, the witch is responsible for carrying the dead spirit to space via a rocket so they may find peace. Also, you can hear the spirits calling, bagging to be at peace, and sometimes John recognises these souls as one of his friends or the police officer of the town, etc.
I find it to be an interesting premise and frankly, it was. I had fun playing this game and I recommend it to anyone who wants a game with an excellent story, minimal gameplay and wonderful music. Also, It is a short game between 5-8 hours only. I think it deserves a go.



Playing this, I felt like I was on the train home. But not in a good way. In the way where you're a dropout, after a harsh break-up and your entire world is crumbling around you.

The trees to your side flicker past and blur as they go. The rain splatters across your window, and you know you'll have to explain everything to the people you let down.

That tragic pain that comes with the journey home. But after all of that... You still can't wait to try your mum's cooking again.

This game means a lot to me, and it might not to others - but I hope you enjoy it if you play it.

The art style, the music and the story were all pretty good but it was really short and the mc was a jerk like seriously the girl is the only human being with him and he's constantly being a jerk to her but still a pretty good but short game

Es una aventura casi puramente conversacional donde a veces buscas objetos en un mapa helado, pero mayormente es el diálogo y la historia. Esta a mi no me ha llegado tanto como podría haberlo hecho por lo aburrido de la parte de buscar cosas y crearlas.

A very short game that doesn't overstay its welcome, Rocket of Whispers feels like a nice addendum to the OPUS universe. The story lingers on the dead, the hardships that people go through in trauma, and the connections that make us human. The characters are well written and although there is no massive plot twist or anything, I don't think it needed one. RoW is adept at creating a haunting and lonely atmosphere and allowing you to explore the environment -- discovering, reliving, and eventually releasing the past into the cosmos.

其實從半年前就曾經打開這個遊戲了,但可能是有事就放著直到今天。
明明畫面沒有什麼突出的地方,但莫名奇妙邊玩到真的哭出來,好扯。
SIGONO 做得好><

btw Mac 版本沒有獎盃系統,本來想回去找什麼時候開始玩的,但才發現沒有對應的成就更新
