Ori and the Blind Forest follows the orphaned spirit Ori on a heartfelt quest to heal the dying forest of Nibel after a catastrophic storm.

Released worldwide for Wii and Nintendo DS in November 2010, the title offers both single‑player and multiplayer modes, appealing to younger gamers and families with its colorful visuals and accessible difficulty.
