The Fox’s Way Home: Popular Anime Puzzle Game Now on Nintendo Switch with New Soundtrack Release
January 9, 2025
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.
