Wayward Strand Launches On Switch July 21st 2022

Publisher and developer Ghost Pattern have announced that their upcoming interactive story game Wayward Strand is coming to Switch.

Wayward Strand takes place in an alternate 1978, where players take the role of a young girl named Casey who embarks on a trip aboard a hospital located inside an airship, meeting a colorful cast of characters who all have their own independent schedules and quirks. It is planned to launch on July 21st 2022 for Switch and other platforms.

You can check out a trailer below, along with some additional details via Ghost Pattern:

Fresh off its appearance on the latest Nintendo Indie World showcase, Wayward Strand is a lovingly illustrated simultaneous storytelling game making waves for its earnest approach, and is the inaugural title from Australian indie studio, Ghost Pattern. Finally ready for its maiden voyage after six years of development, Wayward Strand will be landing on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One X, and Windows on July 21, 2022.

The curious piece, inspired by interactive theatre, centers on 14-year-old Casey, intrepid teenage journalist, as she embarks on her first trip to the flying ship-turned-hospital above a small Australian town in the summer of 1978. There, she has limited time to help the staff, get to know the patients and investigate the mysteries of the ship itself, as multiple storylines play out in real time.

Once aboard the ship, prepare to meet a sizeable cast of characters who go about their lives guided by their own desires, schedules and will, sometimes talking with Casey, and sometimes with each other. Players can choose who Casey will interact with, or not, having her engage directly or eavesdrop on the unsuspecting workers or patients aboard. With over 20,000 lines of recorded voiceover dialogue—rivalling even some of the biggest AAA games on the market—there are a plethora of interesting conversations to be had (or overheard).
