OPUS: The Day We Found Earth, although a short game, was an enjoyable and relaxing experience of a game. Although there are not many characters, the story was charming.

You play as a small robot named Emeth who is currently in many years in the future, when humans have long left their planet of origin to live among the stars. By then, Earth has become a mysterious and little-known planet, treated as if mythical. After many years of genetic engineering, the human gene pool has been deteriorating, however, and the only way to save it is to find samples on Earth. Project Earth then started building and constructing the spaceship known as OPUS, and your goal as Emeth is to find Earth, somewhere in the galaxy.

OPUS: The Day We Found Earth was a charming and pleasant little game, with a lovely soundtrack, and with a nice story. The visuals were also pretty, and looking at all of the stars and planets was relaxing and thought-provoking for me. I would recommend this game to anyone who likes story-rich games, and relaxing games, as well as anyone who enjoys the idea of sci-fi stories. ^.^

A good mobile game to console port, that doesn't offer a lot outside of being charming

It was a cute and small game. The gameplay was pretty repetitive but I can forgive it for being as short as it was. I'd recommend it to people who want a chill experience with a bit of reading and a very simple gameplay loop.

Looking back at gameplay, seems to be a pretty beautiful and melancholic game. Don't remember if I ever finished, but achievements say I did finish "all Zone 5 main missions", so I'll assume it was good enough for that month of playing.

Wanted to play a small, low stress game on Switch after... all those others. Probably wouldn't recommend it though.

"A robot without a goal is nothing more than a calculator. So, listen up... Your goal, is to find Earth. Do we have a deal?"
- Dr. Lisa

In a never ending search for long lost Earth, the birth place of humanity, Dr. Lisa creates a robot named Emeth to help on this search. Emeth, a childlike robot with one quest - find earth, suddenly wakes alone on the ship, OPUS, where the power has dwindled and systems are not all fully active. Where is Dr. Lisa? Emeth still continues his quest to find Earth.

OPUS: The Day We Found Earth is a great PC-port of the originally released mobile game where you scan planets to find Earth and unravel the story of why Emeth is alone. The game has a captivating stellar exploration mechanic, with beautiful view of space and simple graphics otherwise, but still very fitting to the overall feel of the game.

I highly recommend Opus: The Day We Found Earth for anyone who loves stargazing, space, exploration, and solving a mystery, while enjoying a strong immersive story.
