Version 1.0 · free release
Install the complete Sudos player and visual World Builder in a much smaller core package. It includes the AI-free, media-free text edition of The Orb Cycle: the same 280 authored locations, puzzles, combat, choices and four endings as the illustrated edition.
Player and World Builder
Windows uses the guided Sudos installer, Linux comes as a portable ZIP, and macOS comes as a signed, notarized disk image. No separate runtime is required. Downloads are approximately 48–59 MB.
The Windows installer is not yet digitally signed, so Microsoft Defender SmartScreen may display an “unrecognized app” warning. After confirming it was downloaded from this page, choose More info → Run anyway. On Mac, open the DMG and drag Sudos into Applications. Both Mac downloads are Developer ID signed and notarized. Read the release notes.
More worlds to explore and edit
Each download is an editable .sudosadventure package. Open it in the World Builder to inspect how it works, change it or use it as the starting point for something new. Artwork and audio are kept separate from the core application.

Download the adventure file, open Sudos and choose Adventures. Select Import Adventure…, then choose the downloaded .sudosadventure file. Sudos copies the complete editable adventure and any managed artwork or audio into your library; the original download can then be archived or removed.
These packages require the Sudos application above. They are projects for the full player and World Builder rather than separate applications.
