Publisher Flyhigh Works and developer Team9 have announced a Switch port for Word Game, their retro and clever game literally made of words.

Word Game is now available for Nintendo Switch in Japan and southeast Asia, via the eShop. The game was originally released for PC (via Steam) in 2022.

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

Word game is literally a game of words.

Words are not only composing narratives and interfaces, but also representing objects, characters and scenes.

Player controls “I” to challenge puzzles composed of words.

When “I” appears a secret room, in-game narrative clearly tells “I” that “there is no door”. However, in the world of word game, “I” can walk through the “door” because there is a “door”.

“I” should find clues between lines, delete words to change the meaning of sentences, or shift words to rewrite facts. “I” must be wise and brave enough complete the mission of words.

May the best “I” win!
