Lorelei And The Laser Eyes Developer Hints at Switch Release for Acclaimed Text Adventure

The acclaimed studio Simogo, behind titles like Sayonara Wild Hearts and Lorelei and the Laser Eyes, recently teased a possible Switch version of an iOS title, suggesting a port might be in the works.

The 2013 mobile adventure Device 6 combines narrative, audio, and visuals to immerse players in a quest to escape an enigmatic island. Awakening in a castle with only a peculiar doll as a clue, participants unravel the mystery through environmental clues.

A Bluesky post showcased the title running on a Switch Lite, supporting both horizontal and vertical orientations. The brief “DEVICE Switch” caption amplified speculation about its impending release.

While not formally announced, this glimpse suggests efforts to adapt the decade-old title for modern consoles. Critics originally hailed its fusion of puzzles and psychological tension as groundbreaking.

Upon release, the title earned acclaim for its avant-garde design. One major outlet described it as “one of the smartest and most rewarding games I’ve played in years,” while another emphasized its “inventive approach to interactive storytelling” merging dread and fascination.

Fans await news of this potential revival. The original teaser (embedded below) captures its stark aesthetic – share your memories of this cryptic journey in comments.
