Press release:
Paris, France, July 7, 2021.
The US/France-based indie games publisher Hatinh Interactive and France-based indie games developer Nerd Monkeys, today announced with great delight and excitement that their award-winning hand-drawn puzzle platformer “Out of Line” is now available for the Nintendo Switch in Europe via the Nintendo Eshop (the US version will be released on August 18th, 2021).

Inspired by Studio Ghibli, modern philosophy and impressionist art, the game is an enchanting children’s book brought to life. As players journey from one gorgeously illustrated setpiece to the next and assist protagonist San on his search for identity, they’ll discover the value of freedom in the face of abject tyranny. Out of Line is also available for PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG.com, Gamesplanet.com, Humble Store and Windows Store and will launch Xbox One and PlayStation 4 later this year.

The Nintendo Switch version will be released in North America on August 18.

“Out of Line is an intelligent and poetic quest for identity told through a collection of interactive masterpieces,” says Francisco Santos, Lead Artist at Nerd Monkeys.

“It pushes artistic innovation beyond pixels, inviting players to relax and reflect as they guide San toward liberty.”

Gameplay in Out of Line has been fully adapted to Nintendo’s Switch and revolves around San’s mysterious spear of light, which can be used as a springboard, lever, foothold, tether and more. Puzzles become increasingly complex toward later sections of the game, encouraging players to experiment and think outside the box in order to escape the Factory and reclaim San’s independence.

Key features:

• Enjoy dozens of visually impressive puzzles

• Learn to master the mechanics of the spear

• Interact with beautiful hand-drawn environments

• Learn from extraordinary characters

• Uncover the mystery surrounding San’s story

Out of Line is now available for Switch in Europe and worldwide on PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG.com, Gamesplanet.com, Humble Store and Windows Store. The Nintendo Switch version will be available in North America on August 18. The game will launch on the Windows Store, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 later this year.
