Urchin was an adventure fantasy / horror game that was in development at RARE for the Xbox 360, but sadly not many informations are available on the project. Some concept arts were shown by a RARE designer at the “Nordic Game Conference”, held in the city of Malmö in Sweden in May 2008.
As Zenek has wrote on the Rare-Extreme Forum, it seems that there was a Dumbot from Conker: Live & Reloaded named “Urchin Pig Girl”. From this little easter egg and from one of the concept arts leaked, we can speculate that the protagonist of Urchin was going to be that little girl with her pig. Other game characters were a scary librarian / professor (The Dean?), werewolves and zombies. Urchin could have been in development by the same “Conker Team”, even before the Live & Reloaded port was finished.
Thanks to Oolon for the contribution!

This was actually the Conker BFD/Live and Reloaded team, not the Goolies team.

Thanks for the info Oolon, i should have though about the Conker-team, seeing the “Urchin Pig Girl” Dumbot in C:L&R it makes sense!
