Induction (timeline-twisting puzzle game) announced for Nintendo Switch, out on July 14th

Bryan Gale has announced a game for the Nintendo Switch: Induction, a time-twisting puzzle game. It will be released on July 14th in Europe and North America, and it’s now available for digital pre-order for 5.17€ / £4.33 (regular price from July 21st: 7.39€ / ££6.19 / $8.99).

Here’s a trailer, some details, and some screenshots:

Induction’s minimalist visuals and meditative soundtrack disguise a deceptively rich inner logic that allows you to explore the paradoxical consequences of time travel. Its puzzles will guide you through a series of temporal epiphanies – first asking you to simply jump through time and cooperate with your past self, then ultimately asking you to rewire how you think about cause and effect.

Induction is the abstracted essence of the best of time travel fiction, capturing the vertiginous feeling of boundaries between past, present and future falling away.

Mess with cause and effect. Induction is an abstract puzzle game about time travel and paradoxes. As you master its logic, Induction will rewire how you think about cause and effect.

Across more than 50 meticulously designed puzzles, you must explore the counter-intuitive possibilities time travel permits. You will learn to choreograph your actions across multiple timelines, and to construct seemingly impossible solutions, such as paradoxical time loops, where the future depends on the past and the past depends on the future.

Each puzzle is crafted to reveal a unique aspect of the game’s elegant yet exacting internal logic, gently guiding you into realising the potential of your powers. Induction does not pander, but gives you the satisfaction of mastering an imaginary yet honest set of physical laws.

Accompanying Induction’s minimalist visuals is a rich and responsive ambient soundtrack by Melbourne-based electronic composer and radio broadcaster Tim Shiel.

Induction (Switch – eShop) comes out on July 14th in Europe and North America.
