Aksys Games announced today that the highly rated visual novel Tales from Toyotoki: Arrival of the Witch is coming to Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5 on August 22nd. Nominated for the INDIE Live Expo Awards for Local Cultural Representation, the game has also received high ratings in its original Japanese language.
Hikaru finds himself out of luck and homeless on an unfamiliar island. While avoiding pit vipers and angry senior committee members, he comes across a witch in a very similar situation. The two set out to survive, and hopefully thrive, on Toyotoki, the uncompromising island secluded from the modern world that is steeped in ancient traditions and shrouded in mystery.
Along the way, they meet a cheeky island beauty, a haughty rich girl, a clumsy saleswoman, and a manga-loving delinquent, all of whom are island locals on a similar mission to discover themselves and their place in the world. With some hard work and a sprinkle of magic, can the unlikely group of friends unravel the mystery of Toyotoki Island, while also finding success in their journey of self-discovery?

- A coming-of-age story about overcoming hardships and finding yourself
- Includes DLC & behind-the-scenes commentary from the creative team
- Unravel a mystery stretching back hundreds of years
