Seilane, a retro PC-88 adventure game originally developed by Microcabin in 1987, is set to launch on the Nintendo Switch eShop on July 18th. This release is part of D4 Enterprise’s EGGCONSOLE series, which brings Japanese computer games to the Switch with minimal localization, offering English instructions and menus. The game follows the story of Prill, a young field mouse on a mission to rescue his sister and free a village of petrified animals.
Seilane features a command-based gameplay system typical of classic adventure games, where players must select actions like “talk,” “call,” and “listen” to progress through the game. The game may be difficult for non-Japanese speakers to play due to its extensive Japanese text, unless they have basic language understanding or an OCR translator. However, it is great to see the game being revived on modern devices. It is available for $6.49 on the US store for those interested in trying it out.
