Prepare for a harrowing journey through a city of shadows in Orphans, as it launches on Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch and PC.
Orphans, a new adventure blending stealth and puzzles from indie developer and publisher Infinity Gears Studio, has launched today.
Available now on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Steam, and the Epic Games Store for £16.74 (Xbox Store price, you may find other store prices vary), this title challenges you to guide a young orphan through a mysterious and deadly dystopian world.
In Orphans, you play as Victoria, who finds herself trapped in an enigmatic city filled with deadly traps and unknown threats following a tragic sea accident. Armed only with her wits and a trusty slingshot, Victoria must navigate this nightmare using dexterity and ingenuity to survive.
A Collective Fight for Freedom
Victoria isn’t entirely alone. Scattered throughout the city are other orphaned children, inexplicably locked away. A core part of Victoria’s mission is to find and liberate these companions, as each possesses unique and essential abilities crucial for overcoming the challenges ahead.
You’ll need to combine their talents strategically to navigate traps and solve puzzles that block the path to freedom. Orphans emphasises that survival here is a collective endeavour.
Stealth, Slingshots, and Sinister Creatures
The city isn’t just an obstacle course; it’s actively hostile. Humanoid creatures stalk the corridors with the sole purpose of devouring Victoria. Direct confrontation seems unwise; instead, players must utilize stealth and environmental interaction.
Use Victoria’s slingshot to create distractions, drawing enemies away and facilitating escape through the dark and immersive environments.
This blend of puzzle-solving, stealth gameplay, and utilizing multiple character abilities promises a unique and engaging experience for players seeking a new challenge in a dystopian setting.
