Quern: Undying Thoughts is coming to Nintendo Switch on October 6, 2026. The first-person puzzle adventure game originally launched on PC a decade ago and is now making the jump to Nintendo's platform.

The game takes place on a mysterious island where players arrive to find their way home sealed off. Survival depends on uncovering the island's secrets through exploration and puzzle-solving. The environment combines beautiful landscapes with forgotten structures and unusual machinery, each hiding clues about Quern's past.

Puzzles become increasingly complex as players venture deeper into the island. Success requires careful observation, experimentation, and logical thinking to understand how the island's mechanisms function. Each solved puzzle reveals new locations and pieces of the larger mystery.

Quern: Undying Thoughts will be available digitally for $14.99, £13.49, or €14.99. Pre-orders receive a 10 percent discount.
