Family Friendly Gaming News
TOKYO, JAPAN:
November 27th, in the year of our Lord 2024 – Japanese
indie developer Odencat announced today that the Nintendo Switch
version of its 2019 narrative adventure game Snowman Story will
be released on December 12th. The game will be available for
pre-order on the Nintendo eShop starting November 28th. This
beloved tale of a snowman's journey to find an arctic paradise
where he can be safe from the coming spring was previously a
Google Indie Games Festival 2020 award winner. This version of
the game will include the quality-of-life additions found in the
previously released Steam version.
In Snowman Story, players take control of a snowman named Chris
on a journey to find a fabled land far to the north—a paradise
where it is said that his kind may be able to survive their
inevitable fate of melting when spring arrives. Along the way,
he’ll encounter a whole host of woodland critters who’ll guide
him on his way and offer assistance with the game’s icy puzzle
stages.
He’ll also follow in the footsteps of other fallen snowmen, each
with their own tragic tale to tell of how they tried and failed
to make the very same pilgrimage. By reading memories from their
remains and hearing their cautionary tales, Chris just might be
able to avoid the same fate.
This new version retains the charm of the original mobile game,
but adds the following new features:
Controller support and landscape mode: Previously only in
portrait mode, Snowman Story has been optimized for consoles.
The landscape view allows for a larger, more detailed depiction
of the game world. In addition, the game now features full
controller support in docked mode as well as touchscreen support
in handheld mode.
Additional voice effects for all characters: Each of the game's
characters brings their own unique voice to the story, creating
an even more immersive narrative.
New and improved English translation: The game’s English text
has been fully revised to ensure that the spirit of the original
script is lovingly preserved, making for a much more
entertaining, heartwarming, and emotional experience.
With these new additions, plus all previously released
additional content from the mobile version, this cozy Christmas
tale is the perfect game to bundle up with this Christmas
season!
