Steam Store description

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. A handcrafted, emotional story about grief, wonder, and the unknown Classic point & click gameplay with modern closeup puzzles and interactions Dynamic, adaptive soundtrack that reacts to your every move Cinematic pixel art at 320×180 with real-time lighting and shadows Built for players who love atmosphere over action Play time: 20–30 minutes
