This New Adventure Game Is Channeling Classic Tim Schafer Humour

Developer Actoon Studio is bringing a pretty swanky looking new adventure title to the Switch that seems to harken back to classic Tim Schafer games like Full Throttle and Grim Fandango.

Like No Other: The Legend of the Twin Books is coming to the Switch next week on August 25th and boasts some lovely stylised visuals and classic adventure-style gameplay, with plenty of humour to boot.

Here’s the official rundown from Actoon Studio:

Dan is a bumbling first-time adventurer who risks everything to solve the legend of the twin books by exploring the abandoned town of Red Pines.

Legend has it that a talented artist replicated the Spirits’ Book, and the replica was so perfect that the museum staff mistakenly left the original behind during the evacuation of Red Pines. After learning of the legend, Dan decides to check if it’s true, and recover the book if it is.

Join Dan on this light, family-friendly quest and help his love for adventure thrive.

We’ll be keeping a close eye on this one over the coming days, but what do you reckon? Will you be picking it up? Let us know with a comment!
