The Gallery releases on Switch today

Following a couple of days, The Gallery has now made it to Switch.

Aviary Studios announced the live action game back in January, and it was on track to debut in April. In June, it was bumped to the very start of August. The title was quietly delayed once again, but now everyone can pick it up.

Here’s some information about the title:

An art curator is held hostage by a portraitist who threatens to detonate a bomb unless their demands are met. ‘The Gallery’ contains two interactive narratives – set in 1981 (with a female protagonist) and 2021 (with a male protagonist). Both eras are significant periods of socio-political unrest in Britain and there are distinct similarities and differences across the two stories. The viewer must make decisions in a bid to better understand and escape their captor. However, it soon becomes apparent that not only the life of the protagonist hinges on these decisions, but also the lives of others.

Key Features
– Choice-based mechanics including 150 decision paths and 18 unique endings.
– Relationship-tracking mechanic which affects wider story in various ways.
– Success/fail tracking of sub-plots with supporting characters which affect wider story in various ways.
– Two game modes – ‘Timed Choices’ for a more immersive, pressured experience & ‘Paused Choices’ for group play / audience participation during live streams.
– Renowned acting talent, including Anna Popplewell (‘The Chronicles of Narnia’) and George Blagden (‘Vikings’ & ‘Versailles’) as the two leads.

Additionally, Paul Raschid – the writer-director, is one of the world’s most prolific creatives in the live-action (FMV) video game genre. His previous feature-length titles ‘The Complex’ & ‘Five Dates’ were released in 2020.
