About the Game
You're a barber in a city full of beastfolk. Chat with your customers, style their look, help them see something new in the mirror... and in themselves.
Features
A snip here, a story there. Nowhere's more honest than the barber's chair.
In a city where beastfolk and humans live side by side, you run a little barbershop where everyone's welcome. Chat with your customers, style their look. And between scissors and small talk, secrets slip out.
Behind all the bustle, everyone's got something going on. But your shop just might be the break they need.

Praises from the Media
《OPUS:心相吾山》就像是一部遊戲版的新海誠電影,一趟充滿哲思的旅程
-電撃オンライン
希望你能觸碰這段令人心酸的旅程。
-FAMITSU
少數真正呈現吉卜力魔力的遊戲之一。
-PC GAMER
With a beautiful art style and haunting music, it's no wonder Opus has earned so much acclaim.
-Daniel Robson, IGN
OPUS remains one of those indie game series that's super popular and highly regarded everywhere but the West, and I really hope this one will be the breakthrough both in the Western media and in the region. Echo of Starsong looks incredible.
-Rami Ismail
Opus has a lot of charm.
-Gita Jackson, Kotaku
Though small in size this game is powerful in the emotion of the story it's telling so you may want to be sure there is a tissue nearby
-Lori.h, Jay is games
OPUS is a game about lighthearted space exploration and stargazing that fits this purview to a T.
-Joe Donnelly, Rock Paper Shotgun
If you like curling up with a good book as much as sitting down with a good game, Rocket of Whispers is a perfect way to spend an enjoyable afternoon.
-Morgan Sleeper, Nintendo Life
...an adventure that tugs on the heartstrings, dealing with topics as large as loss and death, and telling a story that's as intriguing as it is engaging.
-Harry Slater, Pocket Gamer
I've grown to enjoy this kind of storytelling, and it fits the medium incredibly well
-Thomas Faust, IndieGames.com
At its heart this is a simple story of love, friendship, and acceptance of impermanence, but it’s told so wonderfully that anyone can pick this up and enjoy it.
- Iain Garner, Co-Founder of Video Game Publisher Neon Doctrine
地球を探して宇宙を探索するロマンだけでなく、ストーリー面では宇宙船OPUS号に乗ったハカセとの成長の物語も魅力となっている。
-IGN Japan
愛に満ちたSFストーリーと、静けさを紡ぐサウンドが心に染みます。
-レビュアーナム子<ファミ通 No.1513>
ある大災害をきっかけに荒廃した世界でのストーリーも魅力のひとつだが、『OPUS 魂の架け橋』の世界観を支える美しいBGMや、効果音、そして、温かみのあるイラストにも注目したい。
-ファミ通
エンディングの味わい深さは一級品だ。
-4Gamer
映画でしたらもちろん「禁断の惑星」そして「2001年宇宙の旅」、小説でしたらアイザック・アシモフあたりを好むのでしたら、確実に心の琴線に触れることうけあいです。
