If you appreciated the Another Code: Recollection Switch remake, you may wish to explore Arc System Works’ upcoming interactive title for the Switch 2.
It is titled ‘Dear me, I was…‘ and is set to debut on the eShop “this Summer”. It is an interactive “text-free” quest and is being spearheaded by director Maho Taguchi and art director Taisuke Kanasaki (Another Code / Hotel Dusk).
Taguchi notes that this game is “crafted for adult women” intending to assist “you in feeling slightly more optimistic after gameplay”.
The title also employs a distinctive animation method known as rotoscoping. Here’s a bit more about this from the official synopsis, along with the narrative:
“Dear me, I was…” is an interactive adventure that allows you to savor a tale intricately woven with stunning visuals, blending the vibrant watercolor aesthetics of Taisuke Kanasaki with rotoscoping technology. The realistic characters are bound to profoundly resonate with your emotions.
“In this narrative, you will experience the life of a particular woman. Feel joy, sadness, and growth throughout her simple and unadorned existence. Witness the tale she weaves in a life entwined with others.”
This game is expected to arrive for the Switch 2 in Summer 2025. Would you be interested in this title? Share your thoughts in the comments.
