Pour coffees for the deaf in Necrobarista – Final Pour available from Route 59 or Coconut Island Games. The Switch will get this visual novel in anime style with new features and additional story content. Remastered visuals will also be available.
Islanders: Console Edition
Grizzly Games’ and Coatsink’s Islanders are peaceful strategy games that allow you to develop the land by putting small buildings on it. This game is simple in that you place items from your inventory to earn points. However, it has relaxing vibes.
Garden Story
You might have seen Picogram or Rose City Games’ Garden Story at the Wholesome Games Showcase. You can play as a cute little vine on a quest for its community.
Slime Rancher – Plortable Edition
Nintendo Switch will soon get Slime Rancher, a first-person slime farming game. Monomi Park’s official game was released in 2017. It’s great to see the franchise come to Nintendo Switch finally.
