Blueballs in game form. You slog through seven episodes of kafkaesque absurdity to reach the climax and it’s supremely underwhelming. The graphics are beautiful but that’s the only positive I can say about this game. It’s not much of a game at all, you hold left and occasionally jump. Light platforming and checkpoints are generous so there is zero difficulty. Was kinda cool at first but dragged quickly. I played until the end and it was a grind. The game also updated itself and deleted my save file. When I manually restored the file it unlocked all levels and achievements for some reason. I did not spend time 100% this game.
移動するだけのゲームですがパズル要素が少しだけしかないけれど迫力あるシーンなどで楽しめました。最後までやって終了ボタンが無いので続けると押してから終了してください。

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Entirely and certified true story of the soviet astronaut who visited the the centre of the Earth. When Jules Vernes meet "The baron of Munchausen", it create an hilarious journey. The 2.5 D art and the story are awesome. The game would desserve some more difficulty, hidden areas and more exploration, but it's still a gem.
Well I enjoyed this game and the story, but the game is a little broken at times. I played through it and thought the environments and art style were pretty neat so def worth playing once. Even better to buy it on sale because tbh, it's not worth full price unless they fix some of the bugs and glitches. I couldn't get past a certain point in episode 8 without resetting because I had a falling death glitch that wouldn't go away. It's fun, but needs to be fixed.
Muy cortito, pero está divertido. Puntos en contra, la cámara a veces te tapa al personaje, y las recompensas, ni las ves.
vale cada centavos, recomendo.
Secret kids game? So I am a ridiculous parent who plays steam deck with my 3yo and he loves this game. I think it’s the combination of beautiful graphics and simple game play. He plays this more than bluey or Peppa pig. I’m pretty sure the references to communism and Jules Verne go over his head but he doesn’t seem to care and I still enjoy playing it with him.
The game nicely surprised me with graphic and audio. It is walking simulator with little easy puzzles. When you finish an episode you can replay it for some collectibles which I have skipped. They should have made it in first run.
It was a fun experience. It was not difficult or any challenge whatsoever. But the story was good. What I didn't like was having to replay every episode again just to collect those orbs to hear more clips to the story. Also episode 8 is glitched like crazy. When you get into this glitch of constant dieing loop, quit out of the game and when you go back in click episode select and continue episode 8. Do not start over. So as you can see my playtime, it's about 8.5 hours for 100% achievements. I may have had some downtime in there in a pause screen tho, so it might be faster.
[h1]Little Orpheus[/h1] – [h2][i]Ein kleines Abenteuer, das man spielen kann, aber nicht muss[/i][/h2] [u]Little Orpheus[/u] ist ein Platformer, den man durchaus mal anwerfen kann, wenn man etwas Leichtes für zwischendurch sucht – aber man sollte seine Erwartungen lieber im Zaum halten. [i]Das Spiel wirkt charmant, keine Frage, doch vieles bleibt eher an der Oberfläche.[/i] Die Steuerung ist ein gutes Beispiel dafür: Sie reagiert spürbar träge, fast so, als würde der Held erst einmal überlegen, ob er wirklich springen möchte. Mit Maus und Tastatur ist das Ganze zwar benutzbar, aber eben nicht wirklich präzise. [i]Für ein Spiel, das auf Timing setzt, ist das manchmal etwas frustrierend.[/i] Die Story ist sehr dünn, aber immerhin witzig erzählt. Sie ist schnell vorbei und fühlt sich eher wie eine kleine Anekdote an als wie ein richtiges Abenteuer. [i]Trotzdem hat sie ihren eigenen Charme und sorgt für ein paar Schmunzler.[/i] [u]Grafisch macht Little Orpheus einen soliden Eindruck, aber es ist nichts, was lange im Gedächtnis bleibt.[/u] [i]Es ist ein Spiel, das man einmal durchspielt, kurz lächelt – und dann wahrscheinlich wieder vergisst.[/i] [h3][i]Fazit:[/h3][/i] Man kann es spielen, wenn man gerade Lust auf etwas Kleines und Humorvolles hat. Aber man sollte nicht zu viel erwarten. Für ein paar entspannte Stunden ist es okay – mehr aber auch nicht (4 Stunden Gesamtspielzeit)
