Text adventure game Word Game now available for Switch in Japan
Japanese version also coming to PC in 2025.
Publisher Flyhigh Works and developer Team9 have released a Switch version of text adventure game Word Game via Nintendo eShop in Japan (Japanese) and Hong Kong (Traditional Chinese) for 3,600 yen, the companies announced.
Word Game first launched for PC via Steam in Traditional Chinese on January 21, 2022, and is coming to PC via Steam in Japanese in 2025.
Here is an overview of the game, via Flyhigh Works:
Word Game is literally a game of words.
Words are not only composing narratives and interfaces, but also representing objects, characters and scenes.
Player controls “I” to challenge puzzles composed of words.
When “I” appears a secret room, in-game narrative clearly tells “I” that “there is no door”. However, in the world of word game, “I” can walk through the “door” because there is a “door.”
“I” should find clues between lines, delete words to change the meaning of sentences, or shift words to rewrite facts. “I” must be wise and brave enough complete the mission of words.
May the best “I” win!
