(NES - PAL, Shoot'em Up)

Released On:
30 Jul 2024
Oratorio is a rhythm action rail-shooter developed for the 8-bit Nintendo Entertainment System. Primarily inspired by games like Rez, Child of Eden, and Thumper, Oratorio is a unique on-rails rhythmic shooter where players create the music of the game through interaction with the game's systems, like shooting enemies, projectiles, and powerups. Everything players do contributes to the soundscape in this innovative retro music shooting game. The game takes place in a dystopian cyberpunk future where an environmentalist hacker group launches a desperate mission to hack the servers of one of the world's largest corporations in order to steal the DNA sequences for extinct plants and animals that the corporation has copyrighted for use in virtual reality safaris. As the enigmatic hacker named Oratorio, players are the last hope for revival in a world that has gone to a digital ruin. Players control a cursor and assume a first-person perspective on an ever-expanding digital track in cyberspace.
