Coming from indie developer Three Eyed Games, A Winding Path takes you into a fantasy world where the rain has stopped, rivers are drying up and crops are failing – sounds great, doesn’t it? Fortunately, this monochrome adventure is all about getting this world back in order, and publisher Flynn’s Arcade has announced that you’ll be able to go on a mission to save the planet on Switch starting. from October 27.
A dark setting like this is often conveyed with an equally dark art style, steeped in shadows and shadows. Three Eyed Games decided to take the opposite approach, bringing the style of the game back to its bare bones – if, that is, the stickman had bones.
As seen in the trailer above, the game’s hand-drawn art style and string soundtrack make this minimalist adventure seem less action-packed on the edge of your seat and more cuddly with a mug. cocoa, but hey, sometimes that’s all we need!
