Picturesque adventure game OU will launch for Switch and PC via Steam on August 31 for 2,400 yen, publisher and developer G-Mode, and developer room6 announced. It will support English and Japanese at launch, with an update to add more languages planned for release at a later date.
Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
The place is U-chronia, a hazy world that lives in hazy memories of the distant past. OU, a young boy, wakes up in a dried up riverbed without any memories of his own. He meets Zarry, an opossum with a flaming tail, who guides him on a journey to find out his story.
The Saudage Specter, who haunts the boy; Gemini, who looks just like him; The Weeping Woman “La Llorona”, who leads him to tragedy. All of them are there to change the Story and how it will end.
A pen-drawn world reminiscent of the illustrations in children’s literature, accompanied by music for guitar and other instruments ripe with nostalgia for an old hometown. This is the background where the Story, a story meant for someone, unfolds.
Just like a Michael Ende book, “OU” disguises itself as something else—an adventure game—to meet and interact with reality. OU is also a challenge—a challenge to games as a whole.
