Explore the philosophy of love, death and resurrection through the story of Hypatia and Sarabhai, and take your brain for a ride through the Laser Grid. In Orpheus Ascending, you return to the role of 1k to enter Sarabhai's mind and retrieve the shattered fragments of her personality, finally giving her a second chance at life.
