Launching next month on Nintendo Switch is The Eyes of Ara, a fantasy puzzle-adventure that has been receiving "very positive" reviews on Steam since it launched in 2016.

The game takes place on a remote island featuring an ancient weathered castle shrouded in mystery. For years it has remained quiet and undisturbed, but the townspeople recall old stories of restless dreams, violent storms, and the eerie glow of ghostly lights dancing in the mist. Someone (and that's you) needs to venture inside to uncover the truth.

To do just that, you'll be making your way through a complex web of puzzles; you'll be searching for secret vaults and hidden passageways, hunting down lost treasure, and discovering the history of the castle. Gameplay includes working your way around complex mechanisms, solving elaborate puzzles, and interacting directly with the environment.

Check out these Switch screenshots below.
