Alone With You Is An Adventure/Visual Novel Coming To Switch This Month
The upcoming sci-fi adventure title Alone With You gets a release date on the Nintendo Switch this month.
- A Q&A With imaginarylab, Creators Of Whirlight – No Time To Trip
- The Best Of Two Worlds In Shin Chan: Shiro And The Coal Town
- Blood Hunting Is Dark And Dangerous, This Summer On PS5
- Age of Defense Review: This Takes Ages
Initially launched on Steam, this indie title from developer Benjamin Rivers follows the last survivor of a diminishing space colony. Accompanied by AI and some ‘chatty’ holograms, you must investigate the cause of why everything went wrong.
Alone With You is a blend of an adventure and visual novel, comparing itself to a mix of Space Quest and OK Cupid. I need not read any further based on that comparison as I’m in, but for the sake of this news piece, here are the features:
- Over a dozen missions, multiple endings, varied conversation choices, and some surprising decisions provide a story you can sink your teeth into and experience multiple times
- A love letter to the Sega CD — vibrant, colourful 16-bit visuals and detailed cut-scene vignettes paint a beautiful sci-fi universe
- Completely original soundtrack with more than 30 foot-tapping, otherworldly tunes
- Accessibility features: separate music/sound effects volume sliders; full-screen/windowed modes; simultaneous keyboard/controller support
At the time of writing, the Switch trailer is unlisted, so I don’t want to be told off for sharing, but here’s a link to the PC version to give you an idea:
Alone With You has already accumulated some glowing testimonies from the big boys, so eager to experience this on the Switch when it launches worldwide on the 30th July, currently with a 10% pre-order discount.
