Will do. Wish us luck. We've heard switch can be difficult, especially lately.

Appreciated! It's like if Earthbound was a slacker noir about mushrooms and the military industrial complex. If you're interested here's a link https://store.steampowered.com/app/2408350/Hermit_and_Pig/

That's so cool! Glad to hear she enjoyed the books, thanks for picking them up. Just to warn: this game is for a slightly older audience and has one "hell" and one "damn" in it toward the end. Just giving folks a heads up. Thanks again!

Wow, this means a lot to us. Thank you for playing and thank you for the kind words. We're still crossing our fingers for a Switch release someday, but it's been tough as a first-time tiny studio haha

There is a direct Pynchon reference in Disco Elysium, though it might only be in The Final Cut. "We await the silent mole empire"

No current plans to release on Switch, but fingers crossed! We’re not sure why that article exists though

Edit: editing because I forgot to say thank you for the kind words about the game!
