Headup Games has announced that The Inner World and The Inner World - The Last Wind Monk are both coming to Nintendo Switch.
The Inner World follows the story of Robert, who lives an introspective, simple life as a court musician in the shadows of his honoured master and ideal Conroy. This changes abruptly, however, when suddenly one fountain after another runs dry and the Windgods befall peaceful Asposia. Robert, together with the mysterious thief Laura, must hit the road to solve the secret behind the disappearance of the winds in a game full of puzzles and adventure.
You can expect more of this puzzle gameplay in the sequel, too, as Robert and Laura are joined by a third party member who goes by the name of Peck for a new adventure. Both games have picked up numerous awards and nominations in the publisher's home country of Germany, and could well be a fitting addition to the Switch's library of games.
The Inner World will be available on the Nintendo eShop for $11.99 / €11.99 / £9.99, with the sequel being set at $14.99 / €14.99 / £11.99. Both games are scheduled to launch on 3rd August.

Inner World is so charming, and SO german. In the good way. So happy to see all the best adventure games of yesteryear brought over to Switch.
@Pod This does look very fun and quirky. I’m loving all the adventure games. Waiting on Double Fine to hurry up, too!!
What would the bad way of being very German entail?
This looks lovely, but I'm still not sure how it plays. Is it a point-and-click?
@HobbitGamer
I'm not thinking what you might think I'm thinking. Mostly thinking of storytelling terms. This game avoids most tired tropes, and maintains things like adorable multifacetted characters, and a thoughtful approach to big problems.
@Pod Yeah, I was thinking of bread lines and drinking.
@HobbitGamer And I was of course thinking of low minimum wage and reluctant adoption of new technology in public sectors.
Great games! Something tells me I will purchase these on the eshop and then they'll be released physically. That's been happening a lot lately. Wish they could be released at the same time. Either way I'll be buying. Adventure games are my jam!
I feel like I watched a trailer for a cartoon not a video game. These guys sure they picked the right medium for their story?
This looks great. I get all the warm fuzzy discworld/monkey island vibes
Looking forward to these!
Are these mobile phone games? They are top quality if so. Happy to see them here with TV mode enabled.
This looks amazingly charming. I'll wait for a physical collection though, or a discount.
@HobbitGamer Crass hit and miss humour. In my experience Germans have little sense of wit or subtlety. Just compare Monkey Island series to Deponia.
