Coconut Island Games, along with Perfect Day Studio, have announced that they’re readying A Perfect Day for Switch. It will be available on October 25, 2023.
A Perfect Day is a narrative puzzle adventure game in which you play as a shy boy who relives the same day over and over – the last day of 1999. It’s inspired by the works of Jorge Luis Borges with the style and structure of French New Wave films, and the works of Truffaut, Tarantino, and Jia Zhangke.
Here’s some additional information:
In this interactive fiction game, you will revisit the 90s and play an elementary schoolboy who lacks the courage to give a card to his favorite classmate. In the endless loop of the last day of 1999, you find out the secrets of your classmates, your friends, your family, and help everyone to have their “perfect day”. You can also play mini-games on Gamicom, assemble your own 4WD, or go to the park to idle about all day… In short, it’s all up to you to have a perfect day or not.
