3D action platformer Manairons announced for Nintendo Switch

JanduSoft, along with 3Cat, today shared the news that Manairons is coming to Nintendo Switch. A release windo wasn’t given as part of the reveal.

Manairons is a 3D action platformer inspired by the folklore of the Pyrenees. You’ll play as Nai, a mischievous manairó who awakens after centuries trapped inside a magical artifact known as the “canut”, and will need to confront the landowner Llorenç, who has industrialized the once-peaceful village of Vilamont and enslaved the manairons to power his machines.

Here’s some additional information:

Manairons is a 3D action platformer game set in the Pyrenees, where ancient legends mix with smoking factories, mischievous magic, and quirky little creatures. You are Nai, a manairó who has just awakened from centuries locked in the “canut”, a magical artifact as old as it is suspicious. A witch frees you (very timely, indeed) and gives you a mission: recover the “canut” and stop the chaos it’s causing.

The culprit? Llorenç, a landowner with zero charisma and a lot of machines. He’s used the power of the manairons to industrialize the peaceful village of Vilamont. Shops are closed, people are hiding at home, and your fellow manairons are working as if there’s no tomorrow… This is not what the legends said!

But Nai isn’t going to sit back. With the help of ancient magical melodies (and a few poorly played notes), you’ll control your fellow manairons, solve puzzles that’ll make you scratch your head, and face your own kind who are working for Llorenç—all with the flute!

Adventure, action, stressed-out little creatures, and more than a few hidden secrets await you in the mountains. And remember: when a manairó gets mad… it’s best to step aside.

For a look at the game in action, watch the trailer below.
