Developer Zeboyd Digital Games and publisher Limited Run Games have announced that the Shakespearean comedy RPG, This Way Madness Lies, will be treading the boards on Switch from 25th July.

The game launched on PC last year to several very positive reviews on Steam and now the team is preparing for a theatrical run on Switch with a physical launch also planned.

This Way Madness Lies sees you playing as the members of the Stratford-Upon-Avon High Drama Society, a group of four students who are trying to put on a series of Shakespeare's greatest hits. Oh, and they also have magical powers — don't forget the magical powers. With these abilities, the group can teleport to various Shakespeare-inspired worlds to fight back the forces of evil all while managing school work and with a rehearsal schedule to stick to.
