A Christmas-themed metroidvania? That’s just the case with the just-released Ebenezer and the Invisible World.
Happy Holidays
We first told you about Ebenezer and the Invisible World a while back, but the Christmassy side-scroller has just released for consoles and the PC. And yes, if you’re unaware of the game’s details, it stars exactly who you think it does.
Featuring the formerly penny-pinching Ebenezer Scrooge from A Christmas Carol fame, Ebenezer and the Invisible World teams the iconic character with helpful specters. Together, they must try to save the city they all call home from an industrialist who’s out for nefarious ends, and the host of “Unrepentant” ghosts who’ve descended on the merry olde town.
Ebenezer and the Invisible World is a 2D Metroidvania game where players assume the role of Ebenezer Scrooge in a Charles Dickens-inspired Victorian-fantasy world. Scrooge teams up with spectral allies to save London from a wealthy industrialist and his Private Guard, each ghost offering unique abilities.
Explore various regions of Victorian-era London, uncover the dark secrets of the Malthus family, and utilize the special skills of Movement Ghosts to navigate the world and confront an army of Unrepentant Ghosts tied to the return of the Dark Spirit.

From developer Orbit Studio, genre fans will find plenty of non-linear exploration in this one, as well as loads of materials to find and secrets to uncover. That’s not to mention the pretty sharp presentation either, which just might get you into the Christmas mood.
Ebenezer and the Invisible World is out now for Xbox and PlayStation consoles, plus the Switch and the PC.
