Hoa will launch for Switch via the Nintendo eShop and PC via Steam in April 2021, publisher PM Studios and developer Skrollcat Studio announced.
“It’s not everyday that a developer as talented as the Hoa team creates such a beautiful work of art,” said PM Studios CEO Micahel Yum in a press release. “The level of care Skrollcat Studio has taken is evident in every frame as you discover the beautiful world they lovingly crafted.”
Skrollcat Studio director Son Tung Cao added, “Three years ago a tiny cute idea skipped into our minds. We set out to build a beautiful living world around it that tells its own tale, and we can’t be any happier now that we can share with you where the journey has taken us.
