I haven't played Little Orpheus, but the concept of "narrating your actions sounds" like what Supergiant Games did with Bastion. I thought it was a break through in narrative gaming, and was surprised no one had copied it.
I'll have to check out Little Orpheus now.
- mrtksn 5y agoIn Little Orpheus, maybe the "narrator" is not the right word. Think of it as two people having a conversation about where you are and what's happening. Now I remember, I think Max Payne also had an occasional background voice. It added so much to the atmosphere.
- mcphage 5y agoSupergiant’s most recent game Hades doesn’t have as much of a narrator as Bastion, but it does have one, and they do clever things like having the narrator accidentally tell the main character secrets (because the main character can hear the narration).
- Ryder123 5y agoYeah, I own Hades - great game. And agreed they do interesting things with the narrator. It didn't hit home for me quite the same way that Bastion did, but I appreciate that they're constantly trying out new things.
