Jennifer Wilde: Unlikely Revolutionaries brings Point & Click/Visual Novel hybrid to Nintendo Switch
Jennifer Wilde: Unlikely Revolutionaries is a supernatural, detective adventure and quite possibly the most gorgeous Switch game of the year!
The game, which has been described as Point & Click meets Visual Novel, is a narrative adventure set in the 1920s and sees young artist Jennifer Chevalier solving her father’s murder - ably assisted by the ghost of Oscar Wilde.
The game launches on the Nintendo eStore on 27th March, with pre-orders open today (27th February), and marks narrative developer Outsider Games’ first Nintendo console launch.
Game director, and founder of Outsider Games, Stephen Downey says ‘Publishing on Nintendo has been a dream of mine for many years, and it’s been a long journey to get here. I’m very excited that more players will get to enjoy Jennifer and Oscar’s story.’
After her father dies in suspicious circumstances, Jennifer attempts to use her childhood gift for talking to ghosts to call his spirit back. Unwittingly, the ghost recalled is that of Oscar Wilde, famous Irish playwright, whose secret affair with Jennifer’s father has bound his ghost to the locket.
Set at the start of the Jazz Age, Jennifer and Oscar investigate an international mystery; discovering a trail of murder and revolution, that leads them into conflict with secret government organisations, a British occult spy network, and the Irish Revolutionary Army.
In a thrilling, witty and melancholic adventure, Jennifer and Oscar uncover dark secrets, deal with the loss of a shared love and develop a deep friendship along the way.
Based on the best-selling, award winning comic of the same name, the game’s beautiful, hand-drawn graphics stay true to its comic book roots.
