Oliverso: a Story Game

A heartfelt Opera-turned-Story Game by Nur Slim

On April 4, 2024, Amity Trio premiered its most recent expedition—to space! Soon, you can take part in the adventures of Oliverso by Nur Slim in this brand new opera-turned-story game.

Join Olive, Loli, and their new intergalactic companions on their search for a planet to call home in Oliverso, a heartfelt Opera-turned-Story Game. As our ragtag crew travels across star maps, desolate planets, and even giant octopus intestines, the player’s own voice becomes the bridge to alien cultures. Designed to spark curiosity and empathy, this adventure leads young explorers toward forging unlikely friendships–even across the stars.
