Player 2 looks at Embracelet, a new indie adventure title for the Nintendo Switch.
The game’s stylised 3D graphics convey a lot with a little, with its basic textures (not a criticism) giving Embracelet an almost cel-shaded look. Combined with an exquisite, bittersweet soundtrack centred around a beautiful piano-based main theme, the overall audio-visual presentation evokes the animated films of Hayao Miyazaki and Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.
Embracelet is a genuinely endearing game that will win over players with its relatable coming-of-age tale, sweeping cinematics, stunning soundtrack, and glorious use of color, providing a soothing experience that still piques plenty of interest.
