To find resources like more fuel or precious items, several zones in the galaxy can be searched. For instance, fuel is needed to move between different points in the galaxy, so planning ahead is required in order to avoid ending up stranded. While the developers have included the exploration of space (as in the other OPUS titles), we have to always be mindful of the resources used. He’ll also need to reach certain places or obtain key items to advance the plot. The core gameplay is what I would describe as “enriched visual novel” - while most of the playter’s time is spent speaking with people, there are 2D sequences where it’s possible to take control of Jun to solve quests like finding items or people. While the idea of the whole game being a flashback has definitely been done before, there are some interesting narrative turns here and there. In Starsong, the story is told in flashback as our main hero, Jun Lee (now an old man) thinks back to a promise made to a mysterious woman - a witch who could use the power of singing to unlock ancient portals. Those same themes are carried forward here in the latest OPUS installment, Echo of Starsong. They’re both described by the developer as exploration adventure games, which basically means the player is allowed to freely explore a galaxy while solving quests and advancing the plot. It found success and its sequel, Rocket of Whispers, came in 2017. The OPUS series was launched in 2015 for Android and iOS with its first title, The Day We Found Earth. WTF At times it feels like watching an anime. LOW The gameplay bits beyond the visual novel aspects aren’t that interesting. HIGH Pleasantly simple low-poly graphics and an interesting narrative.
