Developer Petit Depotto along with publisher Playism has announced the release date of its sci-fi social deduction RPG game, Gnosia, releasing next week on March 4, 2021, on the Nintendo Switch. In addition, the pre-orders for the game are now available on the Nintendo eShop available in North America, Europe, and Australia.
The game was originally released back in June 2019 on the PS Vita, where it was initially available only in Japan. Now that we have the game on the Nintendo Switch, you can purchase it for $24.99.
Gnosia is a thrilling and unique single-player social deduction game combined with visual novel, RPG, and mystery elements. Set on a drifting spaceship, the player faces a mysterious and deadly threat known as the “Gnosia”. Each night on the spaceship someone is put into a cold sleep in an effort to eliminate the Gnosia. Players must use their best judgement while choosing between 30 different commands to figure out which crew member – or crew members – could be Gnosia in disguise.
Players can expect visual novel-like commands, featuring a unique art style of the game. Every round or Loop, the game will bring new characters, dialogues, and scenes that will allow you to build 6 traits. These traits are sense, charisma, logic, charm, stealth, and performance.
AS you play the game and meet new characters, you will unlock new skills that will be carried over to the subsequent game loops. The real Gnosia changes in every playthrough, and as an exciting twist, sometimes the player will find themselves cast as the Gnosia.
