eShop news (October 7): Eliza / Just Ignore Them
Today’s Nintendo eShop news: Eliza announced for the Nintendo Switch, but also…
- Just Ignore Them
- Children of Morta
Eliza
Zachtronics have announced that Eliza, a “critically-acclaimed visual novel about an AI counseling program, the people who develop it, and the people who use it” is coming to the Nintendo Switch pretty soon… this week, in fact, on October 10th!
Here’s a trailer and some details:
After abandoning her high-powered tech career and a mysterious three-year absence, Evelyn Ishino-Aubrey resurfaces working as a proxy for a virtual counseling app called Eliza. Her job consists solely of reading a script provided to her in real-time by an AI, leaving her no autonomy over what she says. Is Eliza a technological marvel that brings therapy to those who otherwise couldn’t access it? Or is it an ineffective replacement and another vector for technology companies to gain control over our lives and humanity?
As she reconnects with people from her past and gets to know the ordinary people of Seattle who use Eliza for counseling, Evelyn finds herself caught in the middle between differing sides of the argument— and as she begins to question everything about her past life and future purpose in the world, it becomes clear she must confront the turmoil and darkness inside.
Eliza (Switch – eShop) comes out on October 10th in Europe and North America. The Upcoming Games page has been updated!
