Vita success story Gnosia lands on the Switch in Japan

Last year a tiny studio released a quirky sci-fi VN on the Vita, perhaps likely to vanish into the void. But no, it picked up a 10/10 from IGN Japan and won a Famitsu indie of the year award, bringing the game's attention to Nintendo.

Today, Gnosia launches on the Switch in the east, thanks to micro-developer Petit Depotto who have reaped the benefit from being a brightly-coloured fish in a small pond. Gnosia's tale sees strange creatures posing as humans on a space mission, and you need to put them to sleep before the crew is wiped out. 



Looping in 15-minute cycles, the game is fast-paced for a VN and strikingly bold in looks and plot twists. Here's hoping it comes west soon.
