 RPGs Off My Shelf - February 2005 Issue, by Chris Gunning   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The key to being one of the great rpgs is twofold: 1) the rpg has to have a great setting, and 2) the rpg has to lend itself to some great gamemastering.
Orpheus is a full game line, setting, and epic adventure wrapped up in a tidy 6-book set (the core book and five supplements).
The place where Orpheus trips up as a horror rpg is in the non-horror elements that creep in to most of the supplements.

 RPGHost Community Forums - Looking to get an Orpheus game going
It deals with working for a company called Orpheus who have discovered that ghosts exist and have even developed a way for people to "project" their conciousness from their bodies, becoming ghosts for a limited amount of time.
Orpheus is foremost a for profit company and they outsource the services of their employed projectors for a variety of jobs, from traditional private eye stuff and haunting removal to corporate espionage and even darker missions that are rumored about the office.
One other thing is that it is a limited run series, which means theres the corebook which has all the base details for running orpheus, then five supplements that each advance the metaplot in drastic ways along with adding some extra crunch.

 RPG News - Role-Playing Game News, Press, Interviews, Fan sites, Headlines, and all the scoop.
So, when it was announced that Orpheus was going have a finite, limited run of supplements, with a metaplot specific to only that game and unconnected to the rest of the World of Darkness, I became interested.
That corporation is the Orpheus Group, which started out as a cryogenics firm but later developed the technology needed to produce "projectors", people who can send their souls outside of their body and interact with ghosts.
This goes well with the emphasis, in Orpheus, on relatively normal people facing their own mortality as part of a daily job -- and is therefore a good thing, a quiet way to encourage the sort of stories the author is aiming at, system and setting working in lockstep.

 Orpheus by White Wolf - A Game Monkeys Review!
Told as part of a limited 6 book series, Orpheus is a company with a questionable past to say the least and operations that aren't always on the up-and-up.
Not nearly as original as much of their properties in the past and borrowing muchly from them, Orpheus is definitely geared towards new players or old ones who don't mind rehashing old turf in a somewhat less spectacular and deep way.
I say "for the most part" because unfortunately a little too much of what is presented in Orpheus is done as either a newspaper clipping or as some random text on a dark background.

Deus Ex and IW are, really, non-linear first person shooters with character development, rather than rpgs.
Rpg combat doesn't seem to be suited to a first person perspective, to be honest.

 Orpheus / Ghost RPG - Snowblood Apple Forums
I think i can be a very interesting game for people who are playing role games and are into movies as Ringu, Dark Waters, the eye, tale of two sisters.
Theses movies are the ones i know, basicly you can say Orpheus is all about Ghosts and a bunch of people who can project themselfs in a sort of Netherworld wherer the ghosts "life".
The only thing i hate about it that i think it can only work out in a online RPG, sitting around a table the game has to be played with all the people on the same side.

 Amazon.com: Orpheus (Orpheus): Books   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Orpheus is a world of technology blurring the lines between even the living and the dead, of vast conspiracies and monsters hiding in the shadows.
It combines both the gritty, realistic feel they've taken years to fine-tune, as well as having a game system that is actually relatively effortless to get play with.
Picking up where Wraith left off, Orpheus introduces a new path for mortals to follow in the World of Darkness, that off a projector - someone who can project their soul from their body and interact with spirits as a ghost themselves.
