Vivid Helix announced today that it will bring its puzzle game Semispheres to the Nintendo Switch next Thursday. The 2D puzzle game relies on its intuitive mechanic of dual-stick controls to control two characters at the same time.
In Semispheres, each analogue stick controls a different avatar in environments that might initially appear identical but reveal profound differences crucial to progression. Portals allow the avatars to enter each other’s reality, creating fiendishly complex inter-dimensional puzzles, with success reliant on methodical planning and skilful execution. It’s not all esoteric brain workouts, though. Tension is introduced through the sentries that guard these worlds, whose fields of vision you must evade in order to find safe passage and the eventual resynchronisation of the worlds.
While previously available on PC and PlayStation 4, it will be fun to take this game on the go. Check out the new trailer above, and stay tuned for more news here on Gaming Trend.
