In similar style gameplay of Gone Home and What Remains of Edith Finch, there is a ton of exploring the in-game world, solving puzzles along with putting clues together. While the game has been available since 2014 on the PC, PlayStation 4 and shortly after on the Xbox One platforms, The Astronauts will soon find its debut title on the Nintendo Switch platform.
The Astronauts is bringing the game onto the Nintendo Switch platform this week as you’ll be able to purchase it on August 15, 2019. Outside of this particular game, the development studio is currently working on their second video game title known as Witchfire.

No other details have been revealed yet but it’s supposedly launching sometime in 2020 for the PC platform.
