Narrative-driven games are my thing, so when I see Unforeseen Incidents coming to the Nintendo Switch near the end of the month, it’s a title worth jotting down on the calendar.
Harper Pendrell, a small-town handyman, finds himself in the eye of the storm of an epidemic where he has to fight for the future of mankind. Not the average day one would expect, but considering his day starts with a woman dying in the street, he ‘unwittingly stumbles into a diabolical conspiracy – a mystery only he can solve’.

Though Unforeseen Incidents is Harper’s journey, he won’t be completely alone as he’ll be joined by a scientist, reporter and reclusive artist who holds the key to preventing an unknown disease from spreading across the country.
