Shueisha Games has announced that storybook-style narrative adventure game Schrödinger’s Call will be released digitally for Nintendo Switch, along with its previously announced PC version. In addition, the publisher revealed the game’s May release date. The game explores the pain and beauty of human connection. A new trailer was featured in yesterday’s Japanese Indie World Showcase.
Schrödinger’s Call unfolds like a storybook, weaving together themes of connection, grief, and the quiet hope of being heard. The game is set in the 21 nanoseconds between life and death — the moment a moon falls and the world ends. Its protagonist is Mary, a girl who awakens in an unfamiliar room with amnesia.
Mary is guided by a cat named Hamlet, and she becomes the world’s last listener. She hears the stories of strangers through an old telephone, including details about their lives, the regrets they carry, and what they still hope for in their final moments.
When the world ends, who is the last person you want to speak to?
The game’s publisher touts that the game is for players who find meaning in games like Spiritfarer and What Remains of Edith Finch. It offers an emotional experience that lingers after the credits roll.
Developed by Acrobatic Chirimenjako and published by Shueisha Games, Schrödinger’s Call will be released for PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch on May 28. A demo is now available through Steam.
