Orbyss invites players into a mysterious, bioluminescent realm where thinking ahead, switching between Orbs, and bending time are the keys to restoring light to a world under siege.
In Orbyss, you are a luminous firefly of energy, navigating from Orb to Orb to solve intricate puzzles and push back a growing darkness. You’ll combine mechanics like time-freezing, drone flying, and sound-based puzzles (with full accessibility support) to overcome shadowy threats and restore harmony to your fragmented world.
Inspired by the likes of Portal and Tron, and featuring music from Pierre Estève (Atlantis series), Orbyss offers a meditative yet intense journey through 40+ handcrafted puzzles, punctuated by atmospheric cutscenes and dramatic boss encounters.
“Orbyss is about transformation - of the world and of your own perception,” says Game Creator, Yannick Audéoud. “I wanted to create a puzzle game that feels logical but alive. Each room is like a poem of precision - no pixel-perfect jumps, no stress, just pure mental flow.”
