About this game

NASA is attempting to land a man on the moon in 1962. A Soviet cosmonaut is traveling the other way in a remote area of Siberia. In order to investigate the earth’s core, Comrade Ivan Ivanovich is thrown into an extinct volcano in his exploration capsule, Little Orpheus. He immediately disappears.

• Explore lost civilizations, underwater kingdoms, prehistoric jungles, and unimaginable lands with our brave but foolish hero. As he fights the Menkv tribe, a subhuman race, and manages to escape their grasp, gasp! Laugh as he overcomes insurmountable challenges and introduces socialism to the underground worlds!
• Technicolor side-scrolling adventures like Flash Gordon, Sinbad, and The Land that Time Forgot served as inspiration for Little Orpheus. Little Orpheus’ platforming and light puzzle-solving are easy enough for beginners but complex enough for seasoned adventure fans.
• A beautiful, vibrant world that has been remastered for the PC with high-resolution textures, new actions and animations, improved graphics and lighting effects, and more.

Reviews

Little Orpheus is a neat, little game with a fun story, quirky characters and a whole lot of atmosphere. A handful of patchable offences aside, if you’re keen to find out what ever happened to Ivan and Little Orpeheus on a Soviet subterranean mission gone wrong, then def jump in!

Vooks

A former Apple Arcade exclusive, Little Orpheus successfully brings its cinematic platformer action to Nintendo Switch. This throwback to pulp movie serials works well on the TV screen, and the gameplay is better suited to Joy-Con controls than a touchscreen. The sense of wonder does slowly wear off, but it’s a quick, casual adventure worth completing.
