    Walk With a Giant — BURGGEIST Steps Onto Switch 2 October 27

    Your fortress has a heartbeat. And soon, it fits in your hands.

    Independent developer and publisher GHRIAN STUDIO has officially announced that BURGGEIST, the towering real?time action?strategy adventure first released on PC via Steam, is marching onto Nintendo Switch 2 — arriving exclusively on the Nintendo eShop Tuesday, 27 October 2026, priced at $12.00.

    Tailored specifically for Switch 2 — with optimised controls, a crisp interface, and performance tuned for both handheld and docked play — this isn’t just a port. It’s the full, soaring experience of building, defending, and roaming the vast highlands of Aliscans, now portable.

    Command Two, Fight as One

    BURGGEIST reimagines strategy through partnership. You play as Étoile, moving freely across the battlefield, while simultaneously issuing orders to Burggeist — a colossal, sentient walking fortress who is your shield, your weapon, your home, and your greatest ally.

    • Dual?control real?time tactics — position Étoile on ridges and plateaus while directing Burggeist to advance, guard, or unleash devastating attacks
    • Height is your strongest weapon — cliffs, valleys, and elevated ground aren’t just scenery; they’re your most powerful advantage
    • Build the Tower, defend the hope — gather resources, raise your spire toward the heavens, and hold back waves of enemies determined to tear it down
    • Seamless open?world exploration — roam Aliscans freely, discovering hidden regions, meeting distinctive NPCs, and finding gear that reshapes how you fight
    • Deep customisation — evolve your abilities and Burggeist’s capabilities to match your preferred playstyle, from aggressive advance to stalwart defence

    A Story Written in Stone and Sky

    Years have passed since Lucile fell into a mysterious, motionless slumber. Her husband Ignace, a mathematician, has searched desperately for a cure — until a message appears out of nowhere in his stepdaughter Étoile’s notebook: “To free Lucile, you shall build a tower that reaches the heavens.”

    That is your mission. That is why Burggeist walks.

    The experience features a fully voiced narrative in both Japanese and Carglish — an original lyrical language created uniquely for this world — alongside text support in English, Japanese, and French.

    From Steam to Switch 2 — Refined, Ready, Yours

    Originally launched on PC in October 2024, BURGGEIST has been rebuilt and polished to shine on Switch 2. Every sweeping vista, tactical clash, and quiet moment of exploration is designed to feel immersive and responsive — whether playing on the go or docked to your TV.

    BURGGEIST launches on Nintendo eShop — tomorrow, 27 October 2026 — $12.00.

  • From the Afterlife to the eShop: Shadows of the Afterland Haunts Nintendo Switch

    From the Afterlife to the eShop: Shadows of the Afterland Haunts Nintendo Switch

    Aruma Studios has officially announced that their critically acclaimed supernatural mystery, Shadows of the Afterland, has made its spectral debut on the Nintendo Switch today. Following a highly successful launch on PC earlier this year—where it secured a staggering 97% positive rating on Steam—this “supernatural whodunit” is ready to find a new home with the handheld crowd.

    If you’ve been looking for a point-and-click adventure that blends 1960s noir with ghostly high-concept sci-fi, your prayers (or séances) have been answered.

    A Soul Out of Time

    Set in Madrid, 1960, the story begins with a mystery that defies the laws of physics. You take on the role of Carolina, a police officer from the future who wakes up in the afterlife looking like a maid named Pilar, years before Carolina was even born.

    To solve the mystery of her own death and why she’s been catapulted back in time, Carolina must navigate two distinct worlds:

    • The Land of the Living: A grounded, beautifully rendered version of Francoist Spain.
    • The Afterland: A surreal, vibrant world of light blues and purples where spirits linger.

    Possession is Nine-Tenths of the Law

    What sets Shadows of the Afterland apart from your standard point-and-click is its Possession Mechanic. Since you’re a ghost, you can’t exactly pick up a magnifying glass. Instead, you must inhabit the bodies of the living to manipulate the environment, bypass sexist 1960s social barriers, and gather clues.

    Critics have praised the game for its:

    • Stunning Pixel Art: Vibrant, retro visuals that evoke the golden age of LucasArts.
    • Stellar Voice Acting: Fully voiced characters that bring the “jazzy, gloom-tinged underworld” to life.
    • Logical Puzzles: Modern design that respects the player’s intelligence without the “moon-logic” of 90s adventures.

    “Shadows of the Afterland respects tradition while introducing enough mechanical and narrative innovation to feel contemporary.” — Game Critix

    Launch Celebration

    To celebrate the move to the eShop, Aruma Studios is offering a limited-time 10% launch discount. For fans of the genre, this is a must-play title that fits perfectly into the Switch’s “play anywhere” philosophy.

    Whether you’re a veteran of the SCUMM era or a newcomer looking for a deep, story-rich mystery, Shadows of the Afterland is a journey worth taking.

    Shadows of the Afterland is available now on the Nintendo eShop.
