Nintendo Indie World Showcase December 2021 Recap – OMORI, Chicory, River City Girls 2 And More

Nintendo Indie World Showcases have become the alternate staple to our much-loved Nintendo Directs. Not wanting to be completely silent after The Game Awards, Nintendo gave us one last hurrah to close out this year. Please check out our recap below:

• The showcase started with a game from the creator of The Messenger. Sea of Stars is a pixel art RPG where you freely traverse a world that you need to protect from monsters as two characters that can create unique magic. Set in the same universe, the game acts as a prequel to The Messenger, but you’re not required to play it to understand what’s going on. Some of the music was composed by Yasunori Mitsuda who composed for Chrono Trigger. Launches Summer 2022.
• Aliisha – The Oblivion of Twin Goddesses is a puzzle adventure game where cooperation is key in order to navigate a deserted temple. You can play as both players on your own or in co-op multiplayer, with multiple endings for you to discover. Launching as a console exclusive in Autumn 2022.
• Locomotive is a point-and-click puzzle adventure set on a 1930’s style train that is a murderous ride. Play as a lawyer, a would-be detective and an agent for Her Majesty’s Secret Service who also act as suspects. Releasing Winter 2022.
• From the creator of Coffee Talk comes a heartfelt adventure After Love. A game about love, making music and learning to love again after tragedy with striking art direction. Winter 2022.
