Until Then, the narrative-driven adventure game that captivated players with its emotional storytelling and Philippine-inspired setting, is set to receive a physical release on Nintendo Switch.
Originally launched as a digital download, publisher and developer Polychroma Games has confirmed that a standard boxed edition will hit store shelves on March 26, 2026.
This release marks a significant milestone, allowing fans and collectors to own a tangible copy of the acclaimed title on Nintendo’s popular hybrid console.
While the forthcoming release will not include bonus items or collector’s extras, it serves as an opportunity for enthusiasts of physical media to add Until Then to their Nintendo Switch library.
Pre-orders for the boxed version are now available through major retailers, underlining the ongoing demand for switch physical releases even in an increasingly digital era. Set in a world grappling with the aftermath of a disaster, Until Then follows protagonist Mark Borja and his close-knit group of friends through a year marked by both the ordinary trials of high school life and the extraordinary fallout of a mysterious event.
Through a carefully crafted blend of slice-of-life moments—waking up in a teenager’s room, practicing piano, managing school deadlines, and navigating the complexities of friendships and relationships—the story slowly peels back layers of mystery.
After a life-changing encounter, Mark’s reality begins to unravel: people disappear, memories shift, and the true nature of his world comes into question. Speaking about the game’s approach, the development team highlights its interactive narrative depth, stating that players are encouraged to shape the story through choices, everyday technology interactions, and relationship-building.
In clear language, the team notes that by engaging with in-game smartphones, social posts, texts, and emails, every comment and decision shapes not just Mark’s journey, but the destinies of those around him. Key features that set Until Then apart include: - Dynamic character interactions where players converse in person and online, exploring the bonds between the richly designed cast. - Use of technology as both a storytelling tool and a gameplay mechanic, with social media, emails, and online browsing integral to solving the game’s central mystery. - Exploration of themes such as love, loss, and personal growth, encouraging players to reflect on mistakes, make tough choices, and witness the resulting character development. - Addictive everyday minigames that emulate familiar routines—from struggling with a flash drive to paying for street food. - A distinctive hand-drawn pixel art aesthetic, merged with 3D effects, warm color palettes, and atmospheric music to create a visually immersive experience. - Environments and character mannerisms inspired by real locations and culture in the Philippines, lending authenticity and depth to the world of Until Then. Until Then’s physical release for Nintendo Switch will make it even more accessible for a global audience eager to experience a story shaped by Filipino culture and artistry.
With the Nintendo Switch remaining a premier platform for indie and narrative games, the boxed edition is poised to reach both longtime fans and new players.
