Mango Protocol has announced Agatha Knife, a dark and satirical narrative adventure game launching on Nintendo Switch on April 26th.
Agatha is a seven year old insomniac torn between her friendship with animals and her love for eating steaks and sausages. Stumbling across religion, Agatha realises it could be just the tool she needs to quash the animals' fear of death, and undertakes the challenge of creating a new religion of her own, Carnivorism.
Your job is to help Agatha convince the animals that the sacrifice of their flesh is the secret to eternal happiness (a very controversial narrative, indeed) as you explore the game's fully hand-crafted art and dark humour. The game is said to contain around 6-8 hours of gameplay, and will support both traditional controls and touchscreen input. It was actually released on Steam last year and has received very positive user reviews.
Agatha Knife is now available to pre-order with a 17% discount on Nintendo eShop in America ($9.99, regular price $11.99), and the very same pre-order discount will be available in Europe and Australia starting 14th April.
Will you be joining Agatha in her quest? Let us know your thoughts down below.

I’ll stick to Aethism.
Now I want some bacon.
I might have a butcher's.
Yeah, that'll teach those crazy vegetarians and vegans...
There are going to be some butthurt people with this game!
I love it!
HA HA HA HA HA, now don't tell me that the guy at the desk is NOT Marlyn Manson.
PETA in three... two... one...
Sounds like a pretty compelling criticism of both religion and carnivorism (which actually already is a thing). Interested in how this works out.
@shaneoh No one's better at killing animals than PETA. I assume they're making so much noise because they hate competition.
Yeeeahhh... if you're going to a therapist/counselor/spiritual director and their advice to you, whatever the issue, is "Make your own religion.", that's probably a sign that it's time to find a new counselor...
@Ooyah I wanted to like your post several times over ^_^ also, first class profile pic!
At least this looks like it will raise some awareness of the cruelty of meat consumption.
Sure, i know..bacon bacon bacon. Nevertheless, pigs are as smart and friendly as dogs. Check it out.
PETA is gonna lose it.
PETA parody game in 3...2...1....
Looks awful
intriguing and thought-provoking story concept showing but not a lot of interesting gameplay showing in the trailer. Still, not too expensive so might give it a go to see where they're going with the plot
Oh, I know where this is going...
I don't know anything about the game other than what is shown in the trailer, but it looks like the animals are anthropomorphised and manipulated by meat eaters. I thought the game would be welcomed, not condemned, by animal rights activists.
@SilverEdge92 Yes, we should stick with the old religions, the ones that some random people made up hundreds or thousands of years ago...amirite?
Saw this one yesterday. It honestly looks great, with plenty of personality and quirkiness to it. Most likely the next indie I'll buy on my Switch.
@sikthvash
Cheers! It's my favourite game ever, and I am really hoping that Hamster bring it to the Switch!
Seems like Shinji and Gendo Ikari are at the grave of Yui Ikari at 0:50.
Oh I bet the main rival in this game is going to be PETA lol
I rolled my eyes pretty hard at that tag line, but that actually sounds interesting.
Cool and a bit surprising that Nintendo allows a controversial game like this in the eshop.
@Lone_Beagle Well, at least one of those is more likely to be true than one cooked up merely to answer a personal problem with several more obvious, simpler solutions.
This sounds weird.
@unoclay Tastier, too.
Okay so I watched the video. Marilyn Manson and the deer god's head from princess mononoke is in it. This whole thing is incredibly stupid looking.
Good and evil don’t exist there’s nothing wrong with eating meat people need to get over it
