About
We are one!
Grab a friend and launch into Orbitals, an intergalactic two-player cooperative adventure set in a wholly new retro anime world.
Team up as Maki and Omura, two inseparable explorers with a whole lot more determination than experience. You’ll brave the perils of space in search of help for their crumbling station home, now trapped within a supernatural cosmic storm.
Our duo must venture beyond the storm and into the unknown in a desperate bid to save their home. It’ll take brains, bravery, and teamwork to make it through!
