Have you ever wondered what happened to the indie developers that made those addictive flash games many of us grew up playing, like Motherload, Fishy, Stick RPG and Defend Your Castle? Well, we opted to ‘switch’ it up and made a quirky, comical point-and-click adventure, The Low Road, and are incredibly excited to bring the world of 1970s corporate espionage to Nintendo Switch™ on August 23, 2018!

The Nintendo Switch™ version of The Low Road features enhanced gameplay mechanics that take advantage of both the JoyCon and Pro Controller, allowing players to dig in with whichever controller they prefer. Alongside this new control scheme, improvements ranging from background saving, to reworked voice acting have been added to offer up a smoother gameplay experience. With a unique art style that draws upon gouache paintings and an original musical score that swings from swirling psychedelic to dusty Americana, this is one adventure that’s a joy whether you’re taking it on the road in handheld mode or playing docked from the comfort of your couch.
