Well, as of today, Little Orpheus, which is a scifi adventure about a Soviet cosmonaut in 1962, has been released. Here’s the launch trailer: Little Orpheus is the work of The Chinese Room, although it’s a substantial departure from their previous works Dear Esther and Everybody’s Gone To The Rapture. It’s a side-scroller, for one, and ponderous narratives have been replaced with a fantastical adventure through “lost civilizations, undersea kingdoms, prehistoric jungles and lands beyond imagination.” It was originally released via Apple Arcade back in 2020, and it go so close to a PC release earlier this year that Brendy reviewed it for us in February. He found it visually dazzling: You can buy Little Orpheus from Steam for £9/€11.69.
