Following a successful Kickstarter campaign, Thetau Games’ two-in-one mystery visual novel Kosmos Connections will be released on Switch. The campaign, which only has two days remaining, managed to reach its $6,500 goal.

Thetau Games says that the first visual novel “is a slice-of-life story all about reconnecting with old friends and forming new connections, while the second is a science-fiction short story that is integrated into the first.” The entire package “explores the concepts of perspective, empathy, and the desire to know the truth.” Players can expect to see a focus on bonds between characters.

The PlayStation 5 is launching on November 12, and it’s bringing the DualSense along with it. Some fans have already gotten their hands on the controller and have noticed that it can actually work with Switch. You just need an 8Bitdo adapter to make it function.
