About Orchid of Redemption: Orchid of Redemption is an Australian micro-studio branched off from Lamplight Forest. Where Lamplight Forest is focused on developing larger scale indie games, Orchid of Redemption is focused on "minimum lovable product", stripping away all the excess to bring clear, concise, and silky-smooth gameplay experiences that respect the player's time, and create an atmosphere of peacefulness, magic, and mystery. Beyond the rich co-creative potentials of Early Access, Orchid of Redemption is using this, their debut title, as an incubator for a new era of transparent and beautiful game design, aiming not just for visual and gameplay clarity, but also to offer an experience of emotional and mental clarity through the avatars uplifting journey. The vast majority of games are designed to hurl us into a state of constant jeopardy or anxiety, most commonly where were motivated by danger or an anxious skinner-box-driven feeling of just one more. But historically, a lot of the counter-response to that (such as walking-simulators) has ended up feeling aimless or frustratingly non-interactive. So the goal with Orchid of Redemption is to discover a new middle-ground where we drop the anxiety but keep the fun. Contact: Media Contact: Tom Byers Email: magedrops@lamplightforest.com
