Sci-fi puzzle game The Turing Test announced for Switch, out next month

The Sci-fi puzzle game The Turing Test is making its way to Switch, publisher Square Enix Collective and developer Bulkhead Interactive announced today. It will launch via the eShop on February 7.

Here’s an overview of The Turing Test, along with a trailer:

The Turing Test is a challenging first-person puzzle game set on Jupiter’s moon, Europa. You are Ava Turing, an engineer for the International Space Agency (ISA) sent to discover the cause behind the disappearance of the ground crew stationed there.

Upon arrival a series of puzzles awaits you – tests which, according to the station’s AI, Tom, can only be solved by a human. These puzzles have apparently been set by the missing ground crew – but why have they created them and what are they hiding from?

In an evolving story based on mankind’s instinctual need to explore, protect and survive, you’ll delve deeper into Europa’s ice crusted-core and discover that the lines between man and machine begin to blur. Armed with the Energy Manipulation Tool (EMT), solve puzzles to open the way forward as you learn the true cost of human morality.

Key Features:

Harness the ability to transfer power between machines using your ‘Energy Manipulation Tool’ providing a unique twist on gameplay mechanics and puzzle logic.
Learn the significance of player control as you switch between multiple perspectives to solve The Turing Test’s most challenging puzzles.
Discover a story with multiple layers of depth and conspiracy; challenging concepts of human morality and giving freedom to players to form theories about the fate of ISA’s crew members.

The Turing Test will cost $19.99 / £14.99 / €19.99, though there will be a 10 percent launch discount until February 21.
