Press release:
Osaka, Japan – October 4, 2024.
The Osaka-based (Japan) indie games publisher PLAYISM and indie games developer Lizardry, are today very happy and thrilled to announce that their adventure game hybrid “Refind Self: The Personality Test Game“, is now available for the Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo Eshop (the game is also available for PC and mobile).

Games can really show someone’s personality, don’t you think? How a person plays a game can reveal a lot about what they’re like as a person. By way of a simple exploration-based adventure, this data-science game analyzes your actions to estimate your personality. One run lasts around 1 hour, and the personality test is completed over 3 playthroughs!

In Refind Self: The Personality Test Game, the player takes on the role of an android. The story begins with the player standing at the grave of the Doctor who created them. The world is populated by robots of various forms, each created for different purposes. The player will travel to locations tied to their memories of the Doctor, interact with other robots, and uncover the secrets behind the future the Doctor envisioned and the mission they were entrusted with.

The Nintendo Switch version includes new features that make sharing and comparing personality results more convenient which will soon be added to the Steam and mobile versions in a future update. Personality test result IDs can be shared among players on all platforms, so Switch, Steam, and mobile players can share and compare their data freely.

Refind Self: The Personality Test Game is currently on sale in Nintendo eShop until October 9, 2024 for 10% OFF. If you already own Lizardry’s previous game, 7 Days to End with You, you will receive a 20% discount instead!

Moreover, the Steam and mobile versions of Refind Self: The Personality Test Game have been updated on October 1, 2024 to add French, Italian, German, and Spanish language support. Now European players can join the community of 260,000+ players to share and compare their personality test results with! To commemorate the update, the game is currently on sale for 30% OFF on Steam until October 8, 2024 10:00AM (PDT). If you’ve been wanting to play the Steam version, don’t miss this chance!
