Little Orpheus

A vibrant and stylized image from Little Orpheus showing a man in a diving suit fleeing on a small boat through a lush, prehistoric environment.

Little Orpheus is a short, cinematic platformer with a quirky Cold War twist. You play a cosmonaut recounting a completely unbelievable journey to the centre of the Earth, while your grumpy commander listens along in disbelief. It’s funny, colourful, and full of exaggerated environments that lean into old-school sci-fi vibes.

The game is more about charm than challenge. You won’t find deep mechanics here, but the voice acting and light tone carry it through a few relaxed hours of play. Ideal for players who want a short story-focused experience and don’t mind a bit of repetition.
