Gaming News Week 20

Come on in, get yourself a nice cup of coffee or tea and pull up a chair.

For a lot of gamers, this past week has been about exploring Hyrule again, finding old friends and lots of new ones too. Trying to get to grips with all the new things in Tears of the Kingdom, and honestly, just being amazed around every corner.

Still, there’s other news as well, so let’s take a look; enjoy!

BunHouse hops onto the Switch

The fluffy-tailed, laid-back gardening sim that we love, Bunhouse, has launched on Nintendo Switch on May 18th. Publisher Digerati announced that the game is also coming to PlayStation and Xbox later this year. It’ll be priced $19.99| € 19,99 | £ 17.99.

I loved BunHouse when I played it on the SteamDeck (Two Thumbs Up in my review) and I can only think it’ll play even better on the Switch! Even though it’s not a hard game, here’s our guide!

Marlon’s Mystery coming to Switch and Steam

Marlon’s Mystery: The darkside of crime is a captivating detective game that’s coming to the Nintendo Switch and Steam on May 25. Want to be a sleuth? In the game players can test their investigative skills by solving riddles and uncovering hidden objects. You will follow Abby Marlon and her apprentice, Jared Evans, as they are recruited by the Taylor family to investigate a murder case involving the youngest daughter, Eleanor, who has murdered her father and gotten away with the inheritance money.

To find Eleanor, Abby, and Jared must solve the mystery surrounding the family by travelling through various locations. Abby is a young woman with a past that has strengthened her sense of justice, and she has a sensitivity to art and drawing that helps her reflect on the facts before her. Jared is Abby’s apprentice who takes notes of everything others say to remember all the events of a case.

You can pre-order the game now in the eShop at a 10% discount until May 25th.

Dordogne on Steam

It’s been almost two years since Dordogne was mentioned in the Wholesome Direct. This debut title from French indie studio Un Je Ne Sais Quoi is a charming and wholesome adventure in hand-painted 3D watercolour.

You play as Mimi, a young woman visiting the house of her recently deceased grandmother who left her letters and puzzles to solve. To do so, Mimi will revisit her childhood memories and reconnect with the little girl who marvelled at everything. Dordogne is expected on June 13, and might make the jump to the Switch at a later time.
