We've sometimes flown the flag for SIGONO's OPUS titles on Switch - we've had OPUS: The Day We Found Earth (in which you follow clues to find stars and planets) and OPUS: Rocket of Whispers (an emotive story told largely through top-down exploration). The third entry was included in today's Indie World showcase, and it's out today on Switch.
Opus: Echo of Starsong - Full Bloom Edition came at the end of the concluding sizzle reel; its been very well received since its previous launch on Steam. Below is part of the official description:
Echo of Starsong is a visual novel style adventure game. 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.
It's due to go live on the eShop later today; are you interested in picking it up?

I enjoyed the other OPUS games and know essentially nothing about this one except that it's really good. Keen to grab it.
Might be worth waiting for Switch reviews in this one. The frame rate looked pretty bad in the trailer. Unless that's what it is supposed to look like? In which case ignore me.
I heard this one actually quite good.
Really enjoyed the other two games but this one is asking for triple(?) the cost investment. It does certainly look a lot more polished and much more involved, but will hold out for a review before I pull the buy trigger.
The footage for this in the indie world trailer had an awful frame rate, wait for reviews like said above
Wasn't this highly rated on the PC circuit?
Yeah, one of the few that really grabbed me in the Direct.
I actually like this series, especially the first one. This looks pretty interesting so I will look for a review.
I actually finished the PC version less then a week ago. It's an experience I can definetely recommend. It conveyed strong emotion while not overstaying its welcome. Glad to see it on switch too. The framerate did indeed look bad in the footage from the presentation but I wouldn't worry too much about it since the game is heavily focused on the narrative and sound. Of course a stable framerate is always preferable but unless you have a steam deck, playing this portable on switch in a dark room with headphones will be a really nice experience that I heavily recommend.
I watched some gameplay on Youtube and looks like the framerate is consistent even during the more visually intense moments. Great voice acting too. Maybe the trailer showed an early version?
I absolutely loved the first two OPUS games so it was an immediate download for me as soon as I found out about it. I'm also going in relatively blind since I've been trying to avoid reading too much about it other than the direct emails from SIGONO.
It's got a 90 on MetaCritic for PC.
Onto the wishlist it goes!
Someone who has played all 3 games? How would you rate this compared to the others: same or better?
