‘We aim to improve ourselves with each new installment of the Opus series,’ says Scott Chen, co-founder of Sigono. ‘Echo of Starsong is the best yet, with absorbing gameplay and a really heartfelt story. I think it is one of the games that really tugs at the player's heartstrings, and I'm really proud of what we’ve achieved.

Indie game studio Sigono have today released a gameplay trailer for their upcoming narrative adventure Opus: Echo of Starsong, along with the first free demo of the game 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.
