Kitsune to Kaeru no Tabi Comes to Switch 2 and Switch in Spring 2027

room6 and Yokaze announced on October 28, 2026, during the Indie World 2026.10.28 presentation that Kitsune to Kaeru no Tabi: Adashino-shima no Kotoro Oni will be released for Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch in spring 2027. The 3D action adventure is developed by Rias, who works as an illustrator and 3D graphic designer. Players control a fox girl who, with a frog companion, explores Adashino Island, a place of torii gates and neon signs where beings called Kotoro Oni lurk in the darkness. A stolen shrine drives the pair to the island, where they search for a way to return it and get home while pursued by oni. Gameplay splits into exploration, where players talk to residents and light shrines to widen the explorable area, and a tag section where they flee oni, using limited light to stop them. A demo was shown at Tokyo Game Show 2026.
