Arc System Works has officially announced Dear Me, I Was…, an interactive single-player adventure exclusive to the Nintendo Switch 2, slated to launch this summer.
Crafted under the artistic vision of Taisuke Kanasaki, renowned for his work on Another Code and Hotel Dusk, the game fuses vibrant watercolor backdrops with advanced rotoscoping technology.
