About

Little Orpheus, released in 2020, is an adventurous side-scrolling indie game developed by The Chinese Room, known for titles like Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture. Set in 1962, players embark on an impossible journey to the center of the Earth, combining engaging storytelling with a visually rich art style. Its unique narrative and charm contribute to its appeal, making it a noteworthy addition to the adventure genre.

When it comes to performance, Little Orpheus is relatively accessible for PC gamers. With a minimum GPU requirement of an entry-level card (minimum score around 4047) and a CPU score of approximately 4228, most average setups can expect smooth gameplay. Players with 8 GB of RAM will find the game runs well, delivering decent FPS even on lower graphics settings, making it a great option for casual gamers and those not wanting to invest heavily in hardware.

In light of its 66/100 rating, Little Orpheus offers a pleasant experience for fans of adventure and indie games. While it may not be a groundbreaking title, its engaging story and impressive visuals could make it a worthwhile play for those seeking a casual gaming experience.

Performance profile

Released in June 2020, Little Orpheus targets RTX 20/30-series and RX 6000-era hardware. A current mid-range GPU (RTX 4060 Ti / RX 7700 XT) is the sweet spot for 1440p Ultra; 4K needs a high-end card.

Little Orpheus is a narrative-driven experience — a rock-solid 60 FPS is plenty. Prioritise resolution and image quality (AA, anisotropic filtering) over chasing high-refresh framerates.

Entry-level hardware target. A GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT reaches 60 FPS at 1080p Medium in Little Orpheus; an RTX 4060 comfortably sustains 1440p Ultra. 4K Ultra 60 FPS needs an RTX 4070 or better.

Storyline

The year is 1962 and NASA are trying to put a man on the moon. In a remote corner of Siberia, a Soviet cosmonaut is heading in the other direction. Comrade Ivan Ivanovich is dropped into an extinct volcano in his exploration capsule, Little Orpheus, to explore the center of the earth. He promptly vanishes. Three years later he emerges claiming to have saved the world. He has also lost the atomic bomb powering the Little Orpheus. He is taken to a top secret bunker deep below the Ural mountains to be debriefed by the fearsome General Yurkovoi, a man so frightening even Stalin won’t buy him a drink. The General rolls up his sleeves, fixes Ivan with a steely glare and say “So... where have you been comrade? And where is my bomb?” And Ivan looks him right back in the eye and says “Well General, you might not believe what happened to me, but I’ll do my best. Because it happened like this...”
