Delisting
Siebenstreich’s Nerdventure was delisted from Steam on December 30th, 2022, and on Nintendo Switch on January 31st, 2023. The itch.io version was most likely removed between the Steam and Switch delistings.
Between March and June of 2023, developer Golden Orb’s website was updated with the following message:
Hello dear friends, supporters and loyal players,
sadly Golden Orb will no longer create and publish games.
It was an adventurous journey full of really great ups but also very sad downs.
The downs are forcing us to shut down our company, yet on the bright side we will stay creative in other ways.Thank you all for your support and love!
About the Game
A hand-drawn nerdventure made with lots of retro-love – and some fairy dust.
Interested in the open hero position? Great! That completes the party for a nice game of D&D (“Dice & Doom”, that is):
Siebenstreich’s Nerdventure is an upbeat 2D adventure game, pioneering the fantastic genre of pop culture fairytales. Look forward to witty dialog, puzzling puzzles (yep, sorry, pun intended), an amazing soundtrack as well as lovingly hand-drawn artwork and animations.
While your party of unlikely heroes sets out to rescue a realm in distress, you’ll take cooking lessons with Mr. & Mr. Giant, outsmart a gang of flies and prove yourself in the improvised game shows hosted by the guerilla unicorn Sylvester Stallione. Among other things. And, rumor has it, the fabled throne Up’Zhykling might be up for grabs as well. Give a green thumbs up and save Mirrormore!
Siebenstreich’s Nerdventure…
…is a beautiful, hand-drawn indie adventure
…boasts lovingly hand-crafted dialogs
…presents a charming set of unconventional characters
…includes 14 songs composed exclusively for this game
…offers a seamlessly integrated help system
…is completely playable via gamepad
… also fully supports mouse controls, if you prefer the traditional point-and-click style
…contains only fair puzzles (according to our vegan carnivorous plant)
…ingeniously wraps the joy of a harmonious (cough) pen & paper game night into a digital adventure
…is probably the first game to feature a truly adorable, vegan carnivorous plant
