Headup Games has shared some new details, behind-the-scenes info, and a confirmed release date for its upcoming title, Trüberbrook. The game can be yours on Switch from 17th April, just a month or so after its 12th March release on PC.
If you haven't heard about this one before, Trüberbrook is described as a "thrilling mystery-sci-fi adventure" game where you, as young American scientist, Hans Tannhauser, must explore the remote village of Trüberbrook in cold-war Germany. You're there because you won a trip in a lottery, but things don't seem to be quite as magical as you first thought.
In a press release today, the game's publisher has given us a quick look at how the game was brought to life, with scenery originally being handmade using physical materials and gallons of glue, before being recreated in-game. The whole thing looks like a Hollywood film set to us and we're excited to see how it all looks in the finished product.
Headup Games has also shared a feature list to give you a good idea of what to expect in the game:
FEATURES:
- Suspense! Mystery! Thrills! After all, it's a single player sci-fi mystery adventure game. We want to keep you entertained!
- Join American student Tannhauser, stranger in a strange land
- Set in cold-war rural Germany in the late 1960s
- Inspired by Twin Peaks, The X-Files, Stranger Things & Star Trek
- Indulge in universal themes such as love, friendship, loyalty, self-discovery and dinosaurs

Just two days after its digital release on Switch, so 19th April, you'll also be able to get your hands on the retail version, which includes a 24-page long travel guide manual.

Backed this game on it's early days on kickstarter. The game looks sooooo good!
I will be waiting for the physical release (who doesn’t love a book in a game box?!) really looking forward to this one.
Yeah physical for me too. Looks good
The physical version sounds great with the booklet, I really like the visuals of this game and the vibe of the story.
I am getting this one.
I’ve been curious about this since I saw I could preorder on Amazon. I’m on the fence I’ll wait to see what the price point is on digital ( Amazon has physical slated for $34.99 release on April 23).
I'm going to preorder this game next month.
Well, I'm impressed. These guys are certainly going the extra mile. Haven't heard of it that often, that developers actually create physical sets of their in-game environments first, so I do hope that all their efforts (and expenses) get rewarded, because the game itself also looks quite promising, so I'll definitely be keeping an eye on it.
this is looking amazing D:
Count me in...I’ll be picking up the retail version on day 1!!!
Looks beautiful and right up my alley!
Looks just lovely!
So quirky and mysterious.
I'm sure the Switch audience will be the right crowd to revive the game for. It had slowly been disappearing and missing dates over the past year, but it's back full force, with new and Switch trailers, and it's first new release date, and I'm so happy.
