"Since 2010, Swedish developer Simogo has been putting out some of the best puzzle and arcade games you can find on mobile platforms, but since they're exclusive to iOS, even the best of them have gone underplayed. Simogo broke into console games with 2019's Sayonara Wild Hearts and 2024's Lorelei and the Laser Eyes, but now the studio is looking to its past for its 15th anniversary."
"Device 6 uses minimal images and sound, using text not just to tell its story but to build the shape of the world in which the narrative takes place. It's a game that feels purpose built to take advantage of mobile platforms, so while it's not surprising that it has stayed there until now, it will also be interesting to see how it makes the jump to Switch and PC while retaining the same magic of the original."
Simogo is compiling its first seven iOS titles into the Simogo Legacy Collection for release on December 2. The collection includes Kosmo Spin, Bumpy Road, Beat Sneak Bandit, Year Walk, Device 6, The Sailor's Dream, and SPL-T, with bonus content for many games. Switch versions will offer motion and touchscreen controls, and Switch 2 versions add mouse support. Device 6, notable for its text-driven worldbuilding and minimal audiovisuals, will finally reach non-iOS platforms. Year Walk is included with an accompanying ebook of additional stories, expanding the collection's extras.
