Unusual artistic puzzler Gorogoa has proved a strange yet popular addition to Nintendo Switch's growing library, and owners of the game is getting some extra content today via a free update across all platforms. The update will patch in the original demo for the game, providing access to a puzzle that wasn't included in the final game. Just log into the game today to access the new level.
So that's an entirely new puzzle level for you to explore and solve on Switch at your leisure. Nothing like free content to bring you back into the fold. Our very own Ryan gave the game a scintillating 9/10 back in December, so check it out if you're in need of any more convincing.
Will you be returning to Gorogoa today, or is the news enough to make you pick it up for the first time? Share your thoughts on the game below...

Awesome! I love Gorogoa and even double dipped on Switch after first grabbing the iOS version. I’ve updated the game on my iPhone, and will now do the same on my Switch. Great news, folks!
Oh, I read this as a was demo being released, not a level from a demo is being added to the game.
Eh? I'm confused, was there a demo which was then taken off? Or was the demo on a different platform?
How about actually giving us a Demo? Still very surprised so many games don't provide demos. Regardless of the extra cost or 'development time' this might accrue, I would imagine it guarantees at least some extra sales.
Great news, I loved the game, also for its shortness.
A nice reason to replay this awesome game.
So this game used to have a demo but now it doesn't? Why can't we play the demo?
@Lroy On average games with demos sell fewer copies than games without them. I guess enough people are willing to buy a game if they are moderately interested that giving them a way to check the game out for free costs more sales than it generates.
I hope they add gyro controls in there while at it.
@PanurgeJr I can only speak from my own subjective and admittedly limited experience but I have found the total reverse to be true. But if as you say, demos don't lead to sales, that's a shame. Seems very counter intuitive to me but there you are. No Demo, no buy has been my motto for many eShop and full retail games, first party, third-party, Indie whatever.
Bloody awful
@Lroy : ahum... monkey tavern was a big meh ! But I agree with you, I was unaware of octopath traveler before checking the demo, 8 month ago... when the eshop wasn’t this big showelware festival... simplier Time...
Does anyone know if there will be a sale to accompany this update? I am very intrigued by “Gorogoa” and want to experience it on Switch, but I think the game is three times more expensive there as compared to iOS. Once that gap is mitigated — even $9.99 would probably work for me — I will be ready to jump in.
@rharalson grab it from Mexico eShop for USD$7.60 need not to wait for sales
It's buried in my backlog, but it's high on my list to play. I'd love to get an actual demo to try, or a sale initiative. One day I'll make it happen with this-- Perfect for my bus rides.
Might check it out on mobile.
I don't understand what this patch did. The game updated quite awhile ago with the demo. Is there a second one?
For people asking where the demo went, it wasn't a downloadable demo. It was an early build that was demoed at shows like PAX.
