Coming to Switch and other consoles this summer, One Night Stand is a visual novel that has you waking up next to a complete stranger after an eventful night on the town. It's up to you to piece together exactly what happened, all from the comfort of a stranger's bed.
Suffering from a thumping headache (no doubt due to overindulging on liquid refreshment the previous night), you can choose to stay for coffee and a croissant, poke around the room for clues to your new friend's identity or grab your undies and jump out the window while they're in the kitchen making you an egg sandwich.
The following features are highlighted in the official blurb:
- Life-like rotoscope animations
- Hand-drawn artwork
- An interactive story where your choices matter
- 12 different endings that reveal new insights into what really happened
- Point-and-click investigations
- An original soundtrack
Coming from one-person developer Kinmoku, the alias of ex-EA dev Lucy Blundell, the game was nominated for an Excellence in Narrative award at the Indie Games Festival 2017. It released on PC back in 2016 and has very positive reviews on Steam, so this will be one to keep an eye on. 'This summer' is the current release window, but we'll let you know when that becomes something more concrete.
Have you played this on PC? Do you like the look of the art style? Let us know with a comment below.

Yawn, praise be more shovelware crap...
Um... what IS this? I mean, I get it... but why?
I mean, why not. Manhunt exists, so this can too. Not my cup of coffee, but I know there's folks here that are enjoying the visual novel types of games on Switch
Ummmmmmmmmm alright. Whatever.
I’m angry at the ceiling RWAAR
What utter crap... yawn
Lol. Sounds interesting
@nintendolie Don't bring politics around here, especially that alt right idiocy
I can’t recall one Ratalaika game that I liked
I clicked on this expecting an article on a literal nightstand for the Switch...
Because I've been dreaming of some sort of articulated arm, like on adjustable lamps, to hold the switch over my head while I'm in bed!
Now I'm disappointed, rubbish.
Coffee and croissant?! Sold.
Why is "original soundtrack" always listed as a feature these days?
I have never had a one night stand because I like to do it again in the AM lol.
Spiritual successor to The Hangover. Iron Mike better make a cameo!
Oh, and I’d pinch myself really hard, and wonder if I woke up in someone else’s body...
Well this seems cute!
Many moons ago I woke up next to someone after a very drunken night that I shouldn’t have woken up with. I got out of bed quietly, got dressed and went out of the door without making a sound. I felt smug for a few moments before I realised I was outside my own flat.
I'm more of a long haul man myself, but whatever loads your boat.
Make it stop please
@PorllM Everyone's allowed to be triggered by injustices. Accusations without evidence can happen "across the board" and it's true that men have been systematically put through a Kangaroo Court automatically in sexually-based cases, historically. Thankfully, that is becoming less and less frequent. To whatever head all this madness is building, I wish it would just come unglued already.
This looks great! Looking forward to it!
Interesting... if it gets a physical copy i'll rent it.
How about neither? Hard pass.
It gives me hotel dusk vibes and I like that.
It's fresh and looks nice. A bit like those Gunman Clive games. I like the premise. If it's done well, why not?
It looks great, very charming animation.
Not a fan of the 'indie' music, and it sure as hell isn't original.
I don't understand the negativity on this page. It's just a point and click adventure in an original setting, calm your tits everybody.
@Timppis I don't think he has either the depth or the warmth.
Played it when it was free and it's rather short, including going through all the endings. Sweet story but needs to be cheap so I guess digital only.
