There are quite a few otome visual novels on Nintendo Switch already, and another one will soon join their ranks. Gunka o Haita Neko will launch in Japan on June 18; it will cost 7,150 Yen. The game sees Tama, princess of a race of cat people, having to choose between an arranged marriage or finding love with a mysterious human that appeared from the sky.
