Narrative puzzle game Shady Part of Me getting surprise release on Switch today

Shady Part of Me will be debuting today and is launching on Switch, the latest European Nintendo Download report reveals.

Douze Dixièmes, who has been developing the title, had not previously confirmed plans for Nintendo’s console or a release date. But it appears it will be arriving in time for The Game Awards 2020.

The release timing listed in the Nintendo Download report indicates that an announcement will be made during the big event later today. Focus Home Interactive is publishing Shady Part of Me, and the company did tease a few reveals for the show. Expect to hear something official later today.

Here’s some information about Shady Part of Me as well as a trailer:

Shady Part of Me is a puzzle game, where gameplay serves narration.

The player will be invited to play two little girls.
One is the shadow of the other.

Along convoluted scenes, story twists and surprising memos, their story takes place. They evolve. They try to cooperate and reach their common goal: freedom.

Shady Part of Me is a solo game.
There are two girls but one character.
And therefore one player.
