Why Orpheus is a woman in this game?

[onyxgayan]

Good day.

Why? And does it mean, that Orpheus and her muse are lesbians in this game?

Thank you

[SephSays]

I'm pretty sure Orpheus is just a fairly effeminate man. I seem to recall Eurydice referring to her husband in the first couple of conversations I had with her.

Im sure, that voice, art style and long nails on fingers tells, that Orpheus is a woman

[Yiasmat]

xD hes a dude. a feminine one, but still.

[Fnordsensei]

Come on, gay means homosexual, and he's obviously not that.

[ZeppMan217]

Just a weird artistic choice.

[Sprocket Gearsworth]

Onyxgayan must be trolling at this point. I mean come on, "gay" is in his name.

Orpheus' speaking voice is Michael Ailshie and his singing voice is Darren Korb. Darren Korb being the guy who voices Zagreus and Skelly, and did most songs of the previous Supergiant games. So nope, just a man with a fairly effeminate appearance.

Wtf? That's Darren too? What kind of vocal range this man got?

Gender non-conforming, might be the best way to describe him?

Well, he *is* a bard.

I think the way Orpheus speaks and acts fits very well with the bard-theme that he has. The Orpheus songs contain a lot of falsetto (which is an amazing technique that Darren Korb does so well) that sometimes comes across as "feminine" or at least non-gender, because falsetto-singing is usually so high-pitched that it's not quickly associated with traditional male voices. Find Top Male Falsetto's on Youtube to get a better idea of it

Microplastics have made it to the underworld

I think it's aliens. Probably ancient ones.

I thought lesbians until Zag referenced Orpheus' gender.
