Ben Wander, the individual behind the narrative mystery game A Case Of Distrust, recently spoke to Engadget about the overall success of his game on the Switch eShop.
While no exact sales figures were provided, Wander said the consumer reaction to this particular version surprised him and essentially described it as a second launch day for the title. He's still not sure himself if the Switch release tapped a new audience or those who were originally interested in the game held out for this specific version.
Since moving on from AAA game development at bigger studios, Ben has been able to embrace the freedom of indie development. This is exactly what he said about his latest project:
"I get to work on games and they're like passion projects... They're games that I want to make or games that I believe in. This was an idea I had since college, and so getting to see it come to fruition is wonderful. It's fantastic."
It's fantastic to hear about his success on the Switch. Of course, this game is not the only time when eShop releases have revived and even outperformed existing copies available on other digital platforms. There's been plenty of other examples of this previously.
What do you think about the indie success on the Switch? Would you like to see even more of these games? Tell us below.

And yet it’s one of too many games NLife has failed to review. 🙄
Congratulations to the devs.
Its wonderful all these indi games are getting recognised and doing well on Nintendo platforms.
All those worries about the typical 3rd party devs supporting Nintendo..... Alot of quality games come from the indi developers and I'm glad its paying off for them to encourage new content.
This one is on my watch list, I'd actually never heard of it before it turned up in the coming soon section, but I'm far more inclined to buy indie games on Switch than PC.
I doubt that is a advertisement....coz there is no any sales figures. Look like he want to attract people to report his game. Anyway, I am sorry if I am wrong.
That's one COD game that's found success on a Nintendo system.
This is on my wishlist, just haven't gotten around to it yet.
