Orphan is a young boy and presumably the sole survivor of an overnight alien invasion.

You will sneak across the countryside through open fields and dense forests, over dangerous mountains and through lush valleys, ducking behind rocks and trees all while being pursued by an army of machines designed to destroy all life. However the machines have their weaknesses and they carry powerful weapons that may be able to be used against them.

Orphan draws inspiration from the classic 2D games of gaming's golden era. Orphan focuses on immersive gameplay, visuals and atmosphere and channels classics like Another World, Blackthorne and Oddworld: Abe's Oddysey, with a touch of Journey to Silius. 

Orphan’s gameplay is based on stealth as the main character is a mostly defenseless 8 year old boy, but through acquiring caches of military and alien weapons the game will transition to an action oriented platformer pitting the boy against the invading forces. Visually, Orphan is a blend of Appalachian photos and silhouette graphics, designed to run at a full 1080p.

Orphan takes place in rolling hills and rugged mountains of Appalachia, a land not too often visited in video games.  In addition to country fields, mountains, caves and rivers this setting opens up unique environments such as railways, coal mines as well as structures and machinery just as scary and alien as the game's other-world antagonists.

Orphan is a classically-styled 2D action platformer with an emphasis on stealth, item discovery and strategic combat. As the game progresses, the player will become more powerful and gameplay will become more action oriented.

Key Features:

• Mix of stealth and action gameplay
• Over a dozen available weapons
• Estimated 5 hours of gameplay and over a dozen unique regions to explore
• Rich 2D silhouette graphics, photography and lighting effects
• Dark, scary atmosphere but safe for kids

Orphan will officially launch for the PC on October 31. Xbox One and PS4 versions are planned by the end of the year.
