Aksys Games, in cooperation with room6, will release a Switch version of Game Studio-developed puzzle adventure game UNDERGROUNDED this fall, the publisher announced. Pre-orders are available now via retailers like Aksys Games Store and VGP.
UNDERGROUNDED first launched for PC via Steam today.
Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
UNDERGROUNDED is a puzzle adventure game that takes you through nostalgic landscapes of Americaâs past. Help a young man travel through an underground maze looking for a lost ring, using the mysterious power of⊠retro games.
Scott, a young man from Manhattan, finally pops the question to his girlfriend⊠who promptly says âno.â
Heâs so dejected that he accidentally drops the ring he used to propose into a storm drain.
The ring keeps falling deeper and deeper underground. It falls into the sewers, then further down into⊠a movie theater?
Wait, is that a jet plane? Why are we in the Old West now? What are cowboys doing underground???
Turns out that deep below Manhattan, thereâs an underground dungeon where Americaâs past lives on!
Will Scott be able to traverse it deep enough to find his ring?
-Explore Americaâs History⊠Turned Into a Dungeon!
This weird dungeon is a collection of the culture and memories of decades past.
The golden age of cinema, the space race, the Old WestâŠ
If you want to take a taste of Americaâs past, UNDERGROUNDED will offer you a full-course dinner.
So, whatâs your favorite decade?
-Get Through Puzzles With a Trusted Ally!
Do you think Americaâs history is too much for one shy Manhattan boy (or for an inexperienced gamer) to tackle on his own?
Worry not! You have a great ally on your quest: a talkative, cheerful canary!
If a puzzle has got you stumped, listen to your bird friend. He might just have the hint you need.
-Get Back What Youâve Lost!
Scott isnât the only one who found his way into the underground dungeon.
A lot of different people who have lost something are there to find it too.
Help them out and maybe, just maybe, that will help Scottâs life change for the better as well.
-Defeat Enemies With Retro Games!
Right, I forgot to mention one thing. There are terrifying, powerful bosses waiting for you in the dungeon!
But donât despair: Scott has a mysterious power. If he finds a retro game cabinet and plays it, strange things happen in the world around him!
Play several nostalgic homages to â80s arcade masterpieces to find a way to defeat those bosses!
