About this game
Daniel Hartmann has nothing left to lose.
After the death of his son and the departure of his wife, he spends his nights alone — drinking, tinkering, and waiting for nothing in particular. Then something falls from the sky into a nearby clearing.
A sphere. Perfectly smooth. Perfectly still.
And it reacts to his touch.
The Sphere is a short, cinematic point & click adventure inspired by the golden age of the genre — rebuilt for a modern audience. Solve handcrafted puzzles, uncover a mystery that spans the cosmos, and experience a story told as much through music and atmosphere as through words.

Dynamic, adaptive soundtrack that reacts to your every move
