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

This is an easy recommendation to anyone who loves a unique and interesting story and yearns for a casual platforming experience. An adventure to be discovered by many. Little Orpheus has creativity, beautiful visuals and smart witty characterisation. With a run time of three hours split into nine small episodes, it certainly will not disrespect your time.

Finger Guns

I can’t quite recommend Little Orpheus, and not just because of its unfortunate choice of narrative given the current climate. Its story is at least told in an interesting way, and it presents you a colourful, well-realised fantasy world to explore. But its platforming is dull and uninspired; you’ve seen it all before in other games. Though being inside a whale is cool, I guess.
