Garage: Bad Dream Adventure remaster incoming for Switch
Today, Sakuba Metal Works and SmokymonkeyS announced that they’re bringing a remastered version of Garage: Bad Dream Adventure to Switch in just a few days. It launches worldwide on June 6, 2024.
Garage: Bad Dream Adventure first came out in 1999, but only in Japan. The remastered version features updated visuals, a refreshed user interface, improved game balance, and new content such as additional chapters, subquests, and multiple endings. English will be fully supported.
Learn more about the game in the following overview:
Garage – this weird machine is said to create a bizarre dark world by working on the subject’s subconscious mind.
The player character is thrown into an enclosed world filled with sewage, with decaying wooden buildings and rusted metals.
And he discovers that his body has been changed into something in between a machine and a living creature.
He wanders around this structurally complex maze-like world in search of a way out.
Garage: Bad Dream Adventure was originally released as a PC adventure game in 1999. In this game, the player character enters his inner world through a psychotherapeutic machine. He is turned into an odd-looking biological machine and searches for a way to escape from that world. Because of its unique world setting, it is described as one of the top three warped games or bizarre games.
It is basically a mystery-solving exploratory adventure game. But it also has many RPG elements such as character development through body modifications and intricate fishing system. And the story questions the ambiguity of escaping from the world and staying in the world.
One of the features of Garage is its detailed world building. Elements like energy circulation, ecosystem and how the world came about are intertwined tightly, and are reflected in the game system, bringing to life the feel of the deep another world. The unique feeling of strangeness and anxiety surrounding the whole game, even though it is not a horror or depressing game, is created by these settings and system.
In this remastered version, almost all images have been retouched, videos have been revised using AI frame interpolation, user-interface and game balance have been improved, and new chapters, subquests, and multiple endings have been added.
