Orchid was an Action Adventure / Beat ‘em Up that was in development by Argonaut Games and would have been published by Namco for the original Xbox and Playstation 2. The project started with a cell shaded graphic design and the gameplay was pretty nice from what we can see in the videos below, but two months before the game was cancelled the developers were asked to make it look more “realistic”. The whole team worked a lot and tried their best to change the game, but unfortunatly in the end Orchid was never released.
Thanks a lot to Franck for the contribution!

Two months before release?!?! That is insanity, why not release the dam thing and make a new game if you don’t like the one you got.

Because often it’s a risk to release a game that could not sell enough: they could lose more money releasing it (think about the marketing, the distribution, creation of the phisical discs, etc.) than to not releasing the game. Sad but true :(
