Publisher and developer G-Mode, and co-developer room6 announced a delay for sidescrolling adventure game OU.

The game is being delayed again from its 2022 release to sometime in spring 2023. When the game does release it’ll be out for PC (via Steam) and Nintendo Switch.

Here’s a rundown on the game, plus a new trailer:

The place is U-chronia, a hazy world that lives in hazy memories of the distant past.OU, a young boy, wakes up in a dried up riverbed without any memories of his own. He meets Zarry, an opossum with a flaming tail, who guides him on a journey to find out his story.

The Saudage Specter, who haunts the boy; Gemini, who looks just like him; The Weeping Woman “La Llorona”, who leads him to tragedy. All of them are there to change the Story and how it will end.

A pen-drawn world reminiscent of the illustrations in children’s literature, accompanied by guitar music ripe with nostalgia for an old hometown. This is the background where the Story, a story meant for someone, unfolds.

Just like a Michael Ende book, “OU” diguises itself as something else—an adventure game—to meet and interact with reality. OU is also a challenge—a challenge to games as a whole.
