Henchman & Goon, an independent game development studio, has officially announced the release of their cooperative puzzle adventure, Pode, for the Nintendo Switch.
Scheduled to debut on the Nintendo eShop worldwide in Spring 2018, Pode brings a unique experience to the Switch library, spotlighting the power of friendship, teamwork, and beautifully crafted environments inspired by Norwegian culture. Pode invites players into a relaxing, atmospheric journey that centers around two charming characters: Bulder, a little rock, and Glo, a fallen star.
Together, they embark on an adventure inside the magical and mysterious Mount Fjellheim.
With distinct abilities, Bulder and Glo must collaborate to breathe life back into a slumbering world and uncover the ruins of a forgotten civilization.
Their journey is punctuated by a variety of ancient puzzles that can only be solved through cooperation and the harmonious combination of their unique talents. In describing the game’s ethos, the developers emphasize the importance of positive interactions.
"Pode is about bringing people together, whether on the couch or in spirit," a representative from Henchman & Goon noted, highlighting the game's core focus on friendship and shared exploration.
The artistic direction of Pode draws heavily from both Norwegian folklore and natural landscapes, creating a distinctive visual identity that stands out among other titles on the Nintendo Switch platform. The Nintendo Switch version of Pode is designed to maximize accessibility, making it ideal for both solo play and local co-op sessions.
The intuitive controls and scalable challenge allow players of different ages and skill levels to partake in the adventure, fostering a sense of cooperation at the game's core.
The forthcoming launch on the Nintendo eShop marks Henchman & Goon's debut on Nintendo’s popular hybrid console and aligns with the studio's commitment to creating inviting, inclusive game experiences. Pode’s release further diversifies the growing catalog of indie puzzle games available through the Nintendo eShop and is poised to appeal to players seeking tranquil, visually arresting experiences that emphasize teamwork.
With themes rooted in friendship, cooperation, and cultural inspiration, Pode is set to become a notable addition to the Nintendo Switch lineup when it arrives globally in Spring 2018.
