The Fox’s Way Home: Popular Anime Puzzle Game Now on Nintendo Switch with New Soundtrack Release
  • The Fox’s Way Home has officially launched on the Nintendo Switch as of January 9, 2025.

  • Originally released for Windows and macOS on October 9, 2024, the game has now been successfully ported to the Switch.

  • This unique spot-the-difference puzzle game features dancing anime fox girls, setting it apart from the looping subway corridors of Kotake Create’s The Exit 8.

  • The game has garnered a Very Positive rating on Steam, reflecting strong player reception and enthusiasm.

  • Players take on the role of a protagonist trapped in a mysterious world, accompanied by the Fox Shrine Maiden, voiced by the talented Maaya Uchida.

  • To return home, players must participate in a ritual that involves observing the Fox Shrine Maiden's dances to identify her true form among the Mononoke apparitions.

  • The Mononoke will attempt to mimic the Fox Shrine Maiden, featuring distinguishing traits such as tanuki ears or black hair, contrasting with her iconic fox ears and golden hair.

  • Accurate identification of the real Fox Shrine Maiden is crucial; failing to do so will lead to the ritual's failure.

  • As players progress, they can track their encounters with the Mononoke in an encyclopedia, noting correct guesses and interactions.

  • In celebration of the Switch release, the game’s soundtrack will be available on streaming and download platforms starting January 16, 2025, featuring music inspired by Kagura, a traditional Japanese dance theater.
