Originally released in 2020 as an Apple Arcade exclusive, Little Orpheus is the latest game from award-winning developers The Chinese Room — whose name you might recognise from their previous releases, Dear Esther and Everybody's Gone To The Rapture. Now, it's coming to PC and consoles on March 1st, 2022.
Little Orpheus is all about a Soviet cosmonaut who is sent into the bowels of the earth via a dormant volcano, and then disappears for three years... but without the atomic bomb he was sent with. His story, as relayed to the terrifying General Yurkovoi, is one of adventure, lost civilisations, mythical monsters, and subterranean socialism.
The story is told over eight episodes, plus a bonus ninth episode called "A Rush of Onion to the Head". This new release also includes remastered graphics and effects, hi-res textures, new moves, and new animations.

Its a great cinematic platformer, with fun cartoonish backgrounds. I never finished it, but I really liked what I played. Great game for only $13.
I played this on Apple Arcade and I really enjoyed it. Fun platforming in a cool setting with very good voice acting!

Actually it is very similar to Planet Alpha which is why I (and also NintendoLife) enjoyed it!

This is the second Queen reference I've noticed in about a week and now I see a pattern and left wondering if I missed others.
Looks similar to planet alpha, which I love so will be keeping an eye on this one.
Well, that definitely wasn't Switch footage. More importantly, why does the main character in the vast majority of Indies look so uninspired? With just a bit of tweaking he could resemble Tintin in a fun way. Actually, now I want this studio to make a Tintin game.
