A grieving mechanic. A sphere that fell from the sky. A mystery that was never meant to be found. The Sphere is a short, atmospheric point & click adventure about loss, wonder, and the unknown.
The Sphere
Steam
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.
