Orphan is a graphic adventure mobile game, that puts us, at first, in the shoes of Ben (we'll guide three characters), that turns back in the orphanage where he grow up, after thirty years, with unknown reasons. All that we know about Sheppard's Orphanage is that thirty years before all the children that were there, were killed, probably while they were sleeping.
All of them were killed, but three. One of these three children is Ben, the others are two girsl named Moon and Karen.
The structure of the game is the one of the classic point and click games in first person, where we can move the cursor to explore the locations and find the hotspots. We'll have the chance to examine, take, talk\taste or use an object that we have in our inventory, to interact with the hotspot. On the screen will appear also directional arrows that shows us where we can go. The sound effect are not that good, and in most of the game will reign the Silence.
But, in this chatper, as in the others, will also appear the creatures (but just one type of creatures) that we can kill using our gun, that Ben took with him without a reason.
By pressing the 1 button of your mobile phone, a crosshair will appear, and if it's highlighted, that means that your aim is correct. There will be, in Oprhan, also our beloved medi-kit to restore our energy, and, most important, the Otherworld.
In conclusion, Orphan is surely not a masterpiece, but if you fell like you have to get also this chapter, then good luck to all of you that'll decide to lead Ben,Moon and Karen to came to know the secrets hidden in the Sheppard's Orphanage.
