Arc System Works has officially announced the forthcoming release of 'Dear Me, I Was…' on Nintendo Switch, scheduled for digital launch worldwide via the Nintendo eShop on February 12, 2026.
Developed under the creative direction of Taisuke Kanazaki, the celebrated game director known for his work at Cing on critically acclaimed titles such as 'Another Code: Two Memories,' 'Another Code: R,' 'Hotel Dusk: Room 215,' and 'Last Window: The Secret of Cape West,' this new interactive adventure is poised to deliver a unique emotional experience to Switch players. 'Arc System Works' latest title presents a textless, succinct journey through the memories of a single woman, allowing players to witness both the joys and challenges that shape her ordinary yet touching life.
Utilizing a distinctive combination of watercolor-inspired visuals and rotoscoping technology, the narrative unfolds in less than an hour, capturing remarkable artistic depth while remaining accessible to a broad audience. A statement from the publisher details key features, notably the game's short and simple approach to interactivity.
'Dear Me, I Was…' allows players to intuitively engage with the story, free from language barriers, making it both inviting for newcomers and appealing to seasoned fans of visual storytelling on Nintendo Switch.
The musical landscape further distinguishes this title, with the evocative theme song "Strange Journey" and a memorable soundtrack enhancing the emotional impact at every stage of the protagonist’s journey. First debuting for Nintendo Switch 2 in July 2024, the game quickly garnered critical acclaim, with many reviewers praising its emotional resonance and artistry.
In a previous review, Mikhail described it as a profound experience, stating that the journey offered an emotional narrative that remained engrossing from beginning to end. This release marks another significant milestone for Arc System Works as it continues to diversify its catalog beyond its celebrated fighting game franchises.
For Taisuke Kanazaki, 'Dear Me, I Was…' further showcases a mastery of immersive visual storytelling, echoing the narrative strengths seen in his previous works associated with Cing. '‘Dear Me, I Was…’ will be available exclusively as a digital download on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch starting February 12, 2026.
