Indie publisher Merge Games has revealed that Stranded Sails - Explorers of the Cursed Islands is readying itself for adventure on Nintendo Switch this October.

Taking inspiration from the Harvest Moon series, The Legend of Zelda and also more recent games like My Time At Portia, Stranded Sails is said to bring its "own signature style of tilt-shift visuals, survival elements, exploration, and story-driven quests". Players will find themselves shipwrecked on a mysterious archipelago, and it’s up to you to survive, solve the island's mysteries, and find a way to escape.

Here's a list of key features to tell you a little more:
