A game by The Chinese Room
The year is 1962 and NASA is attempting to achieve the monumental feat of sending a man to the moon. Meanwhile, in a remote corner of Siberia, a Soviet cosmonaut is embarking on a daring mission in the opposite direction. Comrade Ivan Ivanovich finds himself descending into an extinct volcano in his exploration capsule, known as Little Orpheus, with the intent of uncovering the mysteries at the center of the Earth. However, upon his descent, Ivan mysteriously disappears.
Three years later, Ivan resurfaces, claiming to have not only saved the world but also misplaced the atomic bomb that powers the Little Orpheus. He is swiftly taken to a highly classified bunker deep beneath the Ural Mountains to be interrogated by the formidable General Yurkovoi. Even Stalin himself wouldn't dare challenge this fearsome figure. With unyielding resolve, the General confronts Ivan: "So... where have you been, comrade? And where is my bomb?" In response, Ivan meets his gaze head-on and begins recounting his extraordinary journey.
Prepare to accompany our intrepid yet hapless protagonist as he ventures into forgotten civilizations, underwater kingdoms, prehistoric jungles, and uncharted realms. Hold your breath as he confronts the primitive Menkv tribe and narrowly escapes from terrifying monsters! Witness his triumph over seemingly insurmountable odds as he brings socialism to these subterranean domains!
Little Orpheus transports players into a vibrant technicolor side-scrolling adventure game that draws inspiration from timeless cinematic classics such as Flash Gordon, Sinbad, and The Land that Time Forgot. Presented in eight digestible episodes perfect for commutes, this game strikes a balance between accessibility for casual players and depth for seasoned adventure enthusiasts.
Regardless of whether you are a devoted fan of nostalgic family blockbusters, seeking an exhilarating rollercoaster narrative that delves into the depths of the Earth and beyond, or simply yearning for entertainment that aligns with your ideological beliefs, Little Orpheus invites you to embark on an unimaginable adventure with an improbable hero.
