Everdeep Aurora, narrative exploration platformer, coming to Switch

Publisher Ysbryd Games and developer Nautilus Games are teaming up on Everdeep Aurora and a Switch version is planned, the two sides revealed. A release window has yet to be announced.

Everdeep Aurora is a narrative exploration platformer. The main premise involves an apocalyptic meteor shower that has forced the world’s population to live underground. 

Here’s an official overview:

An ongoing apocalyptic meteor shower has forced the world’s population to settle underground. As Shell, a feline child who awakens to find her mother missing, you will drill downward into the depths to discover a hidden subterranean world and its inhabitants: tormented creatures with an uncertain past.

This narrative exploration and platform game inspired by 16-bit aesthetics will take you back to the simplicity and excitement of the classics of that era. There’s a vibrant and dynamic world to explore, and lots of peculiar characters to meet and varied puzzles to solve. Will you discover the secrets hidden in the Everdeep?

Key Features

• As you descend, your decisions determine Shell’s route through the depths, from secret caverns to sprawling underground dwellings.
• Encounter characters along the way with unique personalities and, sometimes, optional side quests.
• Atmospheric pixel art and an evocative soundtrack, with palettes and musical themes shifting from one location to the next.
