About Simon the Sorcerer Origins
Simon the Sorcerer Origins brings the charming style of the ’90s into the modern era: hand-drawn graphics, clever puzzles, humorous and emotional storytelling—and of course, plenty of Simon’s trademark sarcasm. The game features an original soundtrack composed by Mason Fischer, capturing the emotional range and whimsical tone of Simon’s magical world. And as a very special surprise, Simon the Sorcerer Origins includes music icon Rick Astley in a special role—bringing a touch of 80s soul to the fantasy adventure.
With over three decades having passed since Simon the Sorcerer first cast his spell on adventure game fans, Simon the Sorcerer Origins invites players to step back into the enchanting world of magic, sarcasm, and mystery—this time, to discover how it all began. Longtime fans will be thrilled to know that the original voice actors return in both English (Chris Barrie) and German (Erik Borner), adding an extra layer of authenticity and nostalgia to this lovingly crafted origin story.
