Developer Blue Boss and publisher Gotcha Gotcha Games have revealed that Medium-Naut is coming to the Nintendo Switch today.
Created by Takumi Naramura, the brains behind the La-Mulana series, Medium-Naut was made using Pixel Game Maker MV and is billed as a sci-fi action / horror title that sees you investigating a crashed spaceship in order to find survivors. As you can imagine, things don't go according to plan, and as you explore the craft and collect ID cards, you'll encounter a whole host of monsters after your blood.
Here's some PR:
The space pioneer ship Ostracida has crashed on an uncharted planet, but the survey team that went to rescue the survivors was unable to enter the ship and return.
They were unable to enter the ship due to psychic phenomena.
So they ask a psychic medium, "Yumi Kisara spiritist" to investigate the crashed ship.
The objective is to recover the ID chips of the passengers and investigate the ship, but it seems that there is "something" lurking that cannot be easily solved.
Medium-Naut arrived on PC via Steam on 21st December, with the Switch version launching today.

La Mulana creator? Sold
eShop sale has my wallet reeling but I waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaants.
Looks and sounds interesting. I couldn't swing La Mulana, just wasn't for me, but maybe this will be worth a shot.
Love La Mulana. I still need to finish the second one. It's been so long I'll have to start back from scratch though. In comparison this game looks ...just ok.
Naramura? Sold.
Maybe it's been awhile but I remember La Mulana looking way better than this.
I believe nothing bad can come of this creator and I haven't downloaded anything significant this year, so maybe this is the one that makes me add some eShop credit.
From ancient ruins to sci-fi alien survival, I'm excited how this turns out. Could be something worthwhile.
After the fluidity of HLD and Blasphemous, I can’t go back to main character sprite animations where you can count the frames in real time. Not that this looks bad, per se, but given what is out there? The retro-pixel-art method has been refined. This just doesn’t stand out to me. I’m well aware I’m not the first person to say this about a retro-ish game. Doesn’t make the observation any less valid.
Mildly intrigued by this game, more intrigued by Pixel Game Maker MV...I'd never heard of that before. Looks interesting.
@aznable I think it's fair to say it does look bad. It's uglier than La Mulana by a mile and that game is 16 years old.
@Lyricana Ok it’s good to know I’m not alone… was beginning to feel like I’m taking crazy pills.
The music gives me a steinsgate music vibe.
