Description
Until Then, the acclaimed narrative adventure game celebrated for its heartfelt storytelling and unique cultural inspirations, will officially debut on Nintendo Switch on June 25, 2025.
This highly anticipated port brings the critically praised experience, originally launched in 2024 on other platforms, to a wider audience eager for rich, character-driven gameplay on Nintendo’s popular hybrid console.
Developed with a deep appreciation for Filipino culture, Until Then immerses players in the daily triumphs and tribulations of high school life in a world still reeling from a past catastrophe.
Players follow Mark Borja and his close-knit group of friends as they navigate a new academic year filled with humorous, poignant, and sometimes mysterious events.
The game delicately balances the mundane—like morning routines and urgent homework—with a compelling narrative twist: after a chance encounter, Mark’s world unravels as memories become unreliable and people begin to vanish.
Speaking about the Switch release, developers emphasized, "We’re thrilled to bring Until Then to Nintendo Switch players, giving more fans the opportunity to explore Mark’s story in a highly accessible, portable format." This move expands the game's reach to the dedicated Nintendo fanbase via the Nintendo eShop.
Core gameplay elements set Until Then apart from other narrative titles.
Players interact with an authentic and diverse cast through dialogues, in-person interactions, text, and emails.
Everyday technology like in-game smartphones, emails, and social media is cleverly integrated, challenging players to unravel secrets and build relationships influenced by their digital behavior.
The narrative is further enriched with addictively mundane minigames, inviting players to immerse in activities like practicing piano or playfully competing for snacks—offering a realistic and relatable slice-of-life experience.
A standout feature is the game’s cinematic presentation.
Distinctive hand-drawn pixel art, dynamic lighting, and evocative music blend to create a vivid, emotional world.
The developers drew inspiration from Philippine locations and culture, seen in the landscapes, architecture, and social customs woven throughout the story.
From bustling urban centers to idyllic rural bus journeys, the worldbuilding adds richness and authenticity, making Until Then a unique entry in the genre of narrative adventures.
Upon launch, Until Then will be available digitally via the Nintendo eShop, providing easy access for Switch owners looking to experience an intimate coming-of-age story with a powerful mystery at its core.
The port aims to preserve the original's visually stunning presentation and deeply engaging gameplay while leveraging the flexibility of the Nintendo Switch platform.
As one of the standout indie releases to arrive on Nintendo Switch in 2025, Until Then is poised to captivate players seeking a fresh, introspective adventure grounded in universal themes of friendship, love, and self-discovery.
