Orbitals cooperative adventure game features retro anime aesthetic

Orbitals, a new cooperative adventure game developed by Shapefarm, features a visual style heavily inspired by 1980s and 1990s retro anime. Designed exclusively for the Nintendo Switch 2, the title focuses on a sci-fi setting where two players must work together to navigate challenges.

The gameplay follows a cooperative model similar to titles like It Takes Two, requiring players to solve puzzles and share responsibilities to progress. Players control characters Maki and Nomura as they explore a space cemetery to save their station from destruction. The game supports both local shared-screen play and online multiplayer, with a system allowing a second player to join via a free version of the game.
