    The game is excellent. The soundtrack and art design are beautiful. The story is simple but charming, and the writing is way better than what we are used to in video games. The game is a walking simulator, and the gameplay is not even slightly difficult, but it's not trying to be. The only poor decision was to hide the collectible orbs until you finish each episode.

    If you like Verne, Wells or some such, pick this up and let it send you back to your childhood. Absolutely wondrous, funny and relaxing.

    Little Orpheus is a short game that is really enjoyable. The story is funny in all kinds of ways. The dialogues are amazing, and the Russian accent voice overs are perfect. You have 3 commands for jump, slide and interact. Nothing fancy or hard, but it's in the mentality of the game. The graphics are really good but you have to remove chromatic aberration. The music is superb. There is noLittle Orpheus is a short game that is really enjoyable. The story is funny in all kinds of ways.

The game is worth the small price it demands, at least for it's fun story and a game well done.… Expand

    Absolutely empty stupid game. All 5-6 hours you have to perform the same type of actions. The plot has no end, the extra chapter is stupid. A very bad game. two points.
    Better play another game. Feel sorry for the owners of Apple who play such games on their platform ( ͡• ͜ʖ ͡• )

    A ultimately boring game in which the gameplay consist of holding the analog stick right to run right on the screen and occasionally performing some very menial puzzle. The story goes round and round "and then this crazy thing happened and then this crazy thing happened", but it's all the same really. Very hard to recommend even to children, the gameplay is ultimately slow and boring.A ultimately boring game in which the gameplay consist of holding the analog stick right to run right on the screen and occasionally performing some very menial puzzle.

    First thing First, if you want a platforming or puzzle game this is not for you, this is a very simple walking simulator, and as one it works really well, the world is done well, the dialogs are done clean and world looks really good and can make you giggle time to time with some simple humor there are some audio stuttering even with fixed FPS, but there is no bugs from what I saw.

    it is a simple, good looking, walking simulator with good sounds track, that can help you just don't think of anything for 3 (to 6 for unlocking rewards and skins) hours the only draw backs is that the price of 12 dollar might be a little to much (the sales are around 8) so think about your wallet before buying it, I don't like thinking about the price when doing reviews that's why I gave it 8 (7 otherwise)

    you have money? you want to just shut your brain? its a good game    … Expand

    Little Orpheus is an extremely short game. I suspect that most gamers will complete it in four or five hours. Being primarily a story-focused game, Little Orpheus has little to offer the player in replay value. There are no challenges to master, and no skills to perfect. The game does offer a new game plus mechanic in the form of The Lost Recordings, but this expansion is so pitiful that the developers might as well have not bothered with it.

    Simplicity and mobile origin (at first, Little Orpheus was released on iOS) can be drawbacks but they don’t have to be. If you struggle in hardcore platformers and value challenge less than a fun narrative and picturesque environments, you may enjoy this game.

    Unfortunately, limited player involvement is much clearer on the PC. I liked the concept, I liked the setup, and I was looking forward to seeing what the hollow Earth had to offer. But I never felt involved in the action and failed to connect with the universe. Little Orpheus has solid production values but needed more and better gameplay to link player and character, to drive a feeling of accomplishment into the experience.
