Orbit Studio and Play on Worlds have announced the release of Ebenezer and the Invisible World for PC and consoles. The game reimagines and continues the classic Charles Dickens story, A Christmas Carol, with unique Metroidvania gameplay. Fans can buy a copy on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam.
