Dive into Odyssey – The Story of Science, an enchanting and innovative adventure that seamlessly blends exploration, puzzle-solving, and a captivating journey through the history of scientific discovery. Set against the backdrop of the mysterious Wretched Islands, you take on the role of a determined explorer tasked with rescuing 13-year-old Kai and her family from their captors.

This unique first-person adventure invites you to traverse a series of intricately designed islands, each brimming with secrets and challenges. The puzzles you encounter are more than mere obstacles; they are a chronological journey through the evolution of astronomy and mechanics, tracing the groundbreaking ideas of ancient thinkers like the Pre-Socratics and Aristotle, through to the revolutionary insights of Ptolemy, Copernicus, and Galileo. From unraveling the shift from a flat Earth to a spherical one, to debating the geocentric versus heliocentric models of the universe, to mastering the principles of free fall motion, every solution you uncover deepens your understanding of science’s storied past.
Odyssey – The Story of Science is as much an intellectual odyssey as it is a physical one. Kai’s journal serves as your companion, weaving a rich narrative that intertwines the family’s plight with lessons in scientific reasoning.

The experience is thoughtfully aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards, making it an ideal choice for middle and high school students, as well as adults with a passion for science and history.
Visually, the game immerses you in a realistic yet atmospheric world, where the rugged beauty of the Wretched Islands comes alive with every step. The puzzles, steeped in historical context, challenge your problem-solving skills while rewarding you with a sense of discovery that mirrors the triumphs of the scientists you study. Whether you’re a fan of thought-provoking adventures like The Witness, narrative-driven explorations like Dear Esther, or the intricate mysteries of Myst, this game promises to captivate your curious mind.
