One of the things that many people noticed during the early days of the Nintendo Switch’s lifespan is that there were titles from the recent past and the distant past making their way onto the console. At first, it just seemed like they wanted to be on the new system. But then, once the Switch exploded in popularity, it became clearly that everyone wanted their games on it so they could potentially get great sales. Now, Blue Brain Games and Zadbox Entertainment are doing that a decade after the release of their atmospheric puzzle title Quern – Undying Thoughts by bringing it to the Switch on October 6th. Don’t know the game? We’ve got a breakdown for you below:

“Quern is an island filled with beautiful scenery, forgotten places, unusual machinery, and secrets waiting to be uncovered.
The game’s puzzles grow more demanding as players move deeper into the island. Observation and experimentation are just as important as logic, with each discovery opening up another part of the mystery.

When you arrive on Quern, you barely have time to clear your vision before the portal closes behind you. Your way back is gone, and the island’s secrets are now the only path forward.

Players must study their surroundings, follow the hints left behind by the past, and work out how the island’s strange mechanisms fit together. As the journey continues, new discoveries reveal unfamiliar locations and offer further clues about Quern’s history.”
