Tron: Identity is coming to Nintendo Switch and PC next month.

In a tweet, developer Bithell Games announced that its “visual novel adventure,” Tron: Identity, will launch on PC and Nintendo Switch in just under a month, on April 11. The announcement was accompanied by a new trailer showing off the game in, of course, Tron’s signature visual style.

If the game has flown under the radar so far, let’s update us. You play as Query, a detective show searching for answers after an “unprecedented” crime has been committed. You’ll come into contact with various characters during your investigation, and it’s up to you how you interact with others and what approach you take to solving the mystery. However, you might want to exercise caution, as “the decisions you make will actively influence the story, with a myriad of possible outcomes, good and bad, all depending on your carefully chosen words.”

As shown in the trailer, there’s also an element of puzzle-solving as you work to reveal memories by defragmenting Identity Discs. It’s all taking place on an “unreleased server” which intrigues us, as does the fact that it’s from Bithell Games, the studio behind not only the brilliant Thomas Was Alone but also Quarantine Circular, so you know that can mount a good science fiction plot.
