The investigative thriller, Dry Drowning, published by the Italian Leonardo Interactive, owner of the VLG Publishing label, in collaboration with Studio V, will officially arrive on the hybrid console of Nintendo Switch.
Dry Drowning, this is the name of the work, will be officially available on Nintendo Switch starting this February 22, 2021, in less than a week. The game, set in the year 2066, is a psychological thriller-themed visual novel set in the dystopian city of Nova Polemos.
Dry Drowning players will be immersed in a capillary network of mysteries and murders inspired by Greek mythology. There will be deep themes such as racism, immigration, sexism, and others, which make this product a decidedly mature title and not for everyone.
Of particular importance is the system that manages the investigation element, allowing the player to find out if the interlocutor is really telling the truth or not thanks to a series of game mechanics that we will not reveal now.
