A Dickensian Metroidvania Adventure: Ebenezer and the Invisible World Review
"Ebenezer and the Invisible World" is an indie 2D Metroidvania action adventure game that intricately weaves Victorian aesthetics with fantasy elements. Players embody Ebenezer Scrooge, tasked with rescuing London from the clutches of the wealthy industrialist Caspar Malthus and his Private Guard. The game's hand-drawn art vividly brings Victorian-era London to life, complemented by a narrative rich in dialogues and animated cutscenes revealing the tragic Ghost characters' backstories. Explore London's diverse regions, uncover secrets, and combat the menacing Unrepentant Ghosts in a non-linear, ability-gated gameplay format.
This immersive journey marries classical Metroidvania mechanics with a Victorian fantasy narrative, offering players a deeply engaging experience as they transform from a miser to a hero in the beautifully rendered, hand-drawn world of Ebenezer and the Invisible World.
