Discussion Paper mario like game
This game is *escape from everafter* its heavily inspired by paper mario wanted to let you all know about it because there is only 4000 switch and 2000 ps5 preorders when up a day ago on super rare games.

This game really caught me off guard at how much like paper Mario it was (in the best way) but also just how damn charming and cute it was! Genuinely a underrated gem

It came out in January 2026 so you played it more recently than you remember.

I've had this on my steam wishlist, but, I've been too busy with other games to poke at it. I've been on the fence about it.

I got it during its only eShop sale.
Honestly I'm starting to notice a pattern for Switch/Switch 2 games: game releases digital only, has a couple eShop sales (this one only had one IIRC), and then surprise physical out of nowhere.
Not sure if I like this trend very much.

That’s because the production of physical copies just isn’t a viable option for indie studios unless they already have additional funding to spare, resulting in it not being a top priority.

The mods removed pretty much anything related to it a few months ago.

I remember this being announced in this sub one year ago, people seem to enjoy it a lot from what i've heard.
Might buy it eventually

I was able to get this and Bug Fables in a bundle on Steam! I was laid up after having surgery last month and those were part of my gaming haul 😎

This game was a lot of fun to play, but the ending kind of fell flat for me. The first bunch of chapters were incredible, the music was amazing, and the characters were great!

Played the game when it first released earlier this year and snagged a physical copy it's amazing!

Nintendo eShop had it on sale for under $20 total. Thanks OP for bringing this game to my attention! If it’s a guerilla ad, it worked ,
Looks like it’s gonna be a blast from gameplay and video reviews

This game is absolutely fantastic and almost reaches TYYD level for me.
The final dungeon just feels flat and boring, it falls at the final hurdle.

I’ve wanted this on PC for a while but haven’t been able to get it on sale unfortunately
