Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Clouds Play Company has released a new Switch game in Japan. Osyaberi! Horijyo! is out now as an eShop download for 500 yen.
Osyaberi! Horijyo! is a casual action game in which Ana Horisky, a girl who loves talking (note: Osyaberi can mean talkative) collects treasure from caves. Ana works as both an archaeologist and a treasure hunter at the same time.
You’ll dig through caves, and collect ores and treasures lying underground. It’s then possible to sell collected ores and treasure to earn money. However, if the digging machine runs out of fuel or overheats on the way, it will result in a “Game Over”, so you need to safely bring back these ores and treasure to surface.
