Update: More details have come out for Work x Work including the story of the game and who developing, courtesy from Gematsu for the translation.
Work x Work follows a prince with a mission to defeat the demon king and a hard-working young man working a part-time job who take on various dungeons with the unique visitors of the theme park “Heroes Land.”
The role of the player is to become the protagonist’s dog and guide the visitors of the theme park through its dungeons. Visitors, which consist of families, girls, and the like, will become your party members. Determine the timing of incoming enemy attacks and the points used for recovery medicine, and guide them to clear the dungeon.
By guiding visitors through the dungeon, you will receive “crowds” as salary, which can be used to buy weapons and items useful for work, as well as furniture to customize your room.
Development is being handled by Netchubiyori, whose previous works include Tsukitomo. Tsukiuta. 12 Memories for PS Vita and more. It is currently 75 percent complete.
Here are a few tidbits from Famitsu’s interview with the developers:

– “With the excitement surrounding Switch and the cute atmosphere fitting of handheld mode, we decided on the Switch.”
– “I think this is the first time in this industry there is an okra-themed monster.”
– “The basis of the scenario is a game where you entertain various customers through dungeons.”
