About
Orphée, voyage aux enfers is Laurent Benes's 1985 French adventure for Loriciels, the third after Le manoir du Dr Genius and Le mystère de Kikekankoi. Antoine Vignau and Olivier Zardini of Brutal Deluxe released the Apple IIgs version on 11 November 2026, with Laurent Benes's permission. You crash your car on a stormy night, wake in the underworld facing Satan, and have to fight for your body's life. Didier Berchiatti assisted and Roger Nicolle drew the graphics.
The original engine was written in Z80. Brutal Deluxe started the port in 2024 on their Locomotive BASIC engine, then rewrote the game in 65816 assembly with the same story, pictures and digitized speech, and richer music. The title screen plays Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor for about a minute before the demo starts. LOAD and SAVE use nine slots. Apple-M turns the music on or off, and Brutal Deluxe suggests playing without it because some of the speech is needed to finish the game.
The game is in French. Get the 2400K disk image, the solution and the source from the Brutal Deluxe product page. This archive does not host the disk, so fixes reach players from one place.
