The Chinese Room goes behind the scenes of their exceptional game and gives a hint of what the future may hold for Ivan Ivanovich.

In the final Creator Spotlight for this season, The Chinese Room takes us on an exciting expedition into the development of their hit Little Orpheus, which IGN called “one of the best things to come out of the Apple Arcade so far.” In this technicolour, side-scrolling mobile game, players join not-quite-Hero of the Soviet Union Ivan Ivanovich on an impossible voyage to the center of the earth as he explores lost civilizations, undersea kingdoms, and prehistoric jungles - while saving the world in the process.  

 

As part of this Creator Spotlight, we’re thrilled to dig into the development journey behind the fantastic tale of Little Orpheus and what’s coming next for this award-winning studio. Davai!

Behind the Game: Little Orpheus

Join host Mike Geig as he talks with the award-winning team that created Little Orpheus. They dig into the challenges of developing a title for mobile for the first time, making a game at the same time as building up a new team, and what’s coming next for Ivan Ivanovich.
