The Switch version of exploration-based adventure game Refind Self: The Personality Test Game will launch on October 3, publisher PLAYISM and developer Lizardry announced.

Refind Self: The Personality Test Game first launched for PC via Steam, iOS, and Android on November 14, 2023.

Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:

About

All players approach games in varied ways, making different choices. No one ever plays in exactly the same way. Indeed, how a person plays can be an indicator of their personality… And Refind Self is a game where you can learn all about that personality.

Story

You are an android. The story begins with you standing at the grave of the Doctor who created you. The world is populated by robots in various forms, created for numerous purposes. Travel to places key to your memories of the Doctor, interact with the robots, and unravel the secrets behind the future the Doctor sought and what you were entrusted with.

Important Characters

Protagonist – The player, a robot created by the Doctor as an EAI: an AI that can take action based on emotions.

Dull – A robot clerk at the café. Always lazy due to misconfiguration by the Doctor.

GoGo Scrap – A robot that collects scraps. Sociable and boylike.

Inori – A shepherd robot created to carry out orders.

How to Play

Go wherever you feel like, converse, investigate, play minigames… Simply play as you please. There are no game overs, and there’s no right or wrong way to progress. With each action you take, your personality will be analyzed. Once analysis is 100% complete… Congratulations, you’ve beaten the game! Your personality results will then be revealed. If you want to know more about your personality, you can go back to play again and again. Of course, this also goes for those who want to know the truth of the story.

Personality Comparison and Sharing

Your test results are stored in an online database, and you’ll be issued a unique results ID. You can share your results ID, and view others’ results to compare them with your own. Perhaps similar personalities mean good compatibility? That’s another way of having fun with your results. *Test result data does not include any personal identifiable information.

Examples of Possible Personalities

Adventurer (Passion) – One dedicated to going where none have gone, and doing what may be impossible.

Leader (Morals) – A proactive and responsible sort, who keeps promises and fulfills duties.

Planner (Methods) – A meticulous sort who does anything they can to prepare and increase odds of success.

Sage (Daring) – One who always prepares for possible crises; better to reliably avoid loss than to chance gain.

The Switch version of puzzle / visual novel game 7 Days to End with You will launch on January 26, 2023, publisher PLAYISM and developer Lizardry announced.

7 Days to End with You first launched for iOS via App Store and Android via Google Play on January 24, followed by PC via Steam on February 6.

Here is an overview of the game and its Switch-exclusive features, via PLAYISM:

About

To know a language, know the world, and finally know you.

You don’t know a single word in the language of this world. Deduce the meanings of words the person before you uses to communicate with you. Then try to understand them like a puzzle, one piece at a time. You are free to perceive the meaning of the words you read.

The relationship between the two characters is built on the words you interpret. And their story is also built on the words you interpret.

Their world changes according to your understanding. Maybe their story is a short, ordinary story, or maybe it’s a long, peculiar story. Or both stories could exist at the same time. There’s nothing wrong with that.

The story is only complete with your interpretation. So certainly, every story your interpretation results in is correct. Even if you don’t understand the story at first, you have the opportunity to repeat it over and over again.

This is a short and long story, of only seven days.

Switch-Exclusive Features

Since 7 Days to End with You was released on PC and smartphones in February 2022, it has steadily garnered attention and popularity from the gaming community for its unique take on the puzzle and novel genres. The person you find yourself with speaks a language you don’t understand, so you will have to deduce the meaning of each word to uncover the story hidden beneath.

The Nintendo Switch version, coming this winter, is optimized for the console and comes with slightly different endings, as well as brand new endings exclusive to this version. Players can also enjoy the game with improved translations and unlock a gallery function after clearing the game.

Game 76: Refind Self: The Personality Test Game Aug2025

Refind Self is certainly a game I didn't think too heavily on my first playthrough. Taking everything at face value that this was a game about your choices and how it reflects your personality. While I can't say this game will 100% know who you are, I do think it will highlight some things about you regardless of how accurate you intend to play this game or not. Even with just some of the ways you go about your actions or interact with people, object, and mini-games. Everything feels accounted for. As for me, I do think this game got my personality right on the first try, and I felt there was no real need for a second playthrough, initially.

Then I noticed that the game has two more personalities that effectively help inform you more about who you are if you run through this game 2 more times. Considering how much I love personality quizzes it felt like I might as well go through it again. While I did make some of the same choices as the first time I went through this game, I noticed something. Certain dialogue started to change between screens of the personality game. It certainly isn't a lot, and very little clue is to be gotten from the 1st and 2nd playthroughs of what is actually going on. That said though, there is more to this game than what meets the eye and while the game truly did mean it when it said "do what you want", finding out the full story will always take you 3 runs before you learn the truth. In that regard, there is kind of a through line and separated part of the game you will miss if you don't play this game thrice. In that way, I truly felt this game meant a lot more than I first thought. In no way am I suggesting to change your choices or try to play this game a certain way, but I do want to express you need to play it more than just the first time if you truly want to experience everything it has to offer.

This guy specifically.

While I was looking to practise using my relatively new bridge camera (which is already out of my family budget but well), he stopped along a branch and posed. I had to try.

He even did some acrobatics to show me he's a limberzard.

I had to thank him. So I did. And he was all like...

"You're welcome. Hope you smiled."

"You did? Good. Now get lost."

So I did. And I took a picture of two ants fighting instead.
