Seers Isle, the acclaimed interactive graphic novel from independent developer Nova-Box, is set to debut on the Nintendo Switch this month.
Renowned for their narrative-driven games, Nova-Box continues to expand its portfolio on Nintendo’s popular platform following the success of previous titles like Across the Grooves. Originally released on other platforms to critical praise, Seers Isle invites players to embark on a shamanic rite of passage unlike any other.
The game centers around a group of shaman apprentices journeying to a mystical island, where their spiritual initiation awaits.
Players assume a guiding role, influencing not only the fate of the group's protagonist but also her evolving relationships and the personalities of her peers. Central to the Seers Isle experience is player choice—every decision shapes the course of the narrative, affecting the mood, development, and alliances within the cast.
As the apprentices seek elusive Seers, spirit guides crucial for their magical trials, they soon encounter a mysterious horned woman whose true intentions are shrouded in secrecy.
The story’s branching paths and emotional depth elevate the title within the visual novel genre, promising significant replay value for narrative game enthusiasts. Nova-Box writer Geoffroy Vincens commented on the studio’s approach to storytelling and the strategic fit with Nintendo’s hybrid console.
"We've always envisioned our interactive stories as experiences akin to storybooks," said Vincens.
"With the Nintendo Switch enabling both portable and at-home play, it offers a unique opportunity for immersion—a perfect match for the narrative depth our games offer.
Thanks to the community's enthusiastic response to Across the Grooves, bringing Seers Isle to Nintendo Switch felt like the natural next step." Seers Isle will be available globally via the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch starting on 15th October 2020.
The game launches at a price point of £14.99 ($16.99), with a 12% discount offered to players who pre-order ahead of release.
This accessible pricing, combined with the visual novel’s unique branching pathways, further solidifies the Switch’s reputation as a haven for quality story-driven indie games. With this launch, Nova-Box continues to enhance the narrative game landscape on Switch, providing longtime fans and newcomers alike a fresh, voices-driven journey into the world of interactive fiction.
Players can look forward to an engaging, artfully illustrated experience that rewards thoughtful decision-making and exploration.
