Along the Edge, the acclaimed interactive graphic novel from developer Nova-Box, will be launching on Nintendo Switch this month, expanding the console's diverse library of narrative-driven experiences.
Known for their innovative approach to storytelling, Nova-Box has crafted a unique visual novel that puts the power of choice firmly in the hands of the player.
Released to positive reviews on PC, Along the Edge invites players into the life of Daphné, a character grappling with dissatisfaction in her personal and professional worlds.
When she inherits an old family home nestled in the European countryside, Daphné sees an opportunity for a fresh start.
The narrative unfolds based on decisions made by the player, with each choice impacting not only the ultimate ending but also shaping Daphné’s personality and appearance, offering a highly personalized journey. According to Nova-Box writer Geoffroy Vincens, the intent behind their games is to evoke the intimacy of reading a storybook, allowing for deep immersion.
Vincens emphasized the benefits of the Nintendo Switch, saying that the platform’s flexibility—allowing users to play either handheld or docked—makes it especially suited for experiencing interactive narratives.
Building on the positive reception of their previous title, Across the Grooves, Vincens noted the studio’s eagerness to bring their portfolio to Nintendo's audience. Along the Edge will debut on the Nintendo eShop worldwide on October 15, 2020.
The title is priced at £14.99 ($16.99 USD), and a 12 percent pre-order discount is available, providing an incentive for early adopters.
This release marks another milestone for Nova-Box, further establishing the studio as a key player in the interactive fiction genre on consoles. The Nintendo Switch eShop continues to gain acclaim for its diverse range of indie and narrative-driven titles, catering to both traditional gamers and fans of visual novels.
Along the Edge’s arrival underscores the growing appetite for interactive storytelling on Nintendo platforms.
For those seeking a compelling, choice-driven narrative experience, Nova-Box’s latest offering is set to provide hours of engaging gameplay when it launches mid-October.
