Arc System Works just dropped a bombshell. A new game’s brewing for the Nintendo Switch 2. And the title? “Dear Me, I Was…” Honestly, I chuckled a bit at the title. It sounds like one of those old diary entries you’d cringe at years later.
Anyway, it’s another brainchild from Taisuke Kanazaki. If his name rings a bell, it’s ’cause he was the mastermind behind those quirky games from Cing. Remember “Another Code: Two Memories” and “Hotel Dusk: Room 215”? Those were something else. I got lost in those stories for hours.
This game’s special—vivid watercolors, rotoscoping. Yeah, I had to Google rotoscoping. It’s when animators trace over motion picture footage, frame by frame. It’s like the animation world’s version of tracing paper, I guess. Anyway, you’re living through the ups and downs of this woman’s life. Her ordinary moments are the point. Kind of reminds me of those indie movies where it’s all about the feels rather than the plot. You get joy, sorrow, growth. All that good stuff.
Coming summer 2025. Time to mark the calendars, or maybe not. I mean, who even uses calendars nowadays? Just set an alert on your phone, right? It’s gonna be digitally available on the Nintendo eShop when it hits. Honest take? Could be a game-changer. Or not. Let’s wait and see.
