Opus: Echo Of Starsong is a narrative adventure that follows Eda and Lee, two star-crossed adventurers who team up to uncover the source of a mysterious outer space radiance known as the ‘Starsong’.

Eda, a girl who can hear mysterious sound waves known as starsong, crosses paths with a young man in search of their source. Together, they venture out to the heart of space to unravel an ancient myth.

Asteroids emitting a sound known as "Starsongs" have become the center of conflict for the immense power they hold. Determined to claim asteroids of his own, a young man ventures out with a girl who can imitate starsongs, lending her voice to unravel an ancient myth deep in the heart of space.

"I will claim the starsongs, and bring honor to the clan."

Exiled by his people, Lee ventures out in search of starsongs to redeem himself. But progress is slow, until he saves Eda, a witch who can pick up on the sound of asteroids. However, what appears to be a blessed encounter, will end up becoming a lifelong burden...

‘Science Fiction often covers themes of war and hostility, and the horrors that come with it,’ says Scott Chen, co-founder of Sigono. ‘Our stories explore the romantic, even spiritual side of the genre -  that’s what Echo of Starsong is all about.’

Interested fans can still check out the free Opus: Echo Of Starsong demo on Steam.

The female protagonist - Eda, can hear the thunderous sound of starsongs in space, and navigate their spaceship towards the asteroid it came from.

The male protagonist - Lee, can explore asteroids to locate the starsong's source, which reside in magnificant temples deep within the asteroids, hiding their ancient secrets.

Throughout their journey, the crew will encounter people of all sorts. From starsong intel brokers, to asteroid excavation enforcement officers. Some may act as an obstacle, while others will prove themselves to be allies.

Most people of Thousand Peaks have a personal story to tell when it comes to the conflicts that have ravaged their homeland. Uncover the troubled history of this solar system as you get to know each character.

The story's main setting, Thousand Peaks, has been in a state of chaos ever since the war. Help the crew travel through the territories of different factions, as they gather intel on the fabled starsongs.

Although light puzzles and resource management are involved throughout the story, gameplay is kept simple to provide an accessible experience.

  • Starstruck heroes - Follow protagonists Lee and Eda as they explore forgotten corners of the galaxy and unravel the truth behind an ancient myth.
