AWARD-WINNING PUZZLE GAME SAMSARA DELUXE OUT TODAY FOR
NINTENDO SWITCH IN EUROPE!
A brand new version of
Marker’s haunting puzzle game of echoes, contrasts and discovery is now
available – with the debut of 24 bonus levels for Switch!
Auckland, 31 Dec 2018: Marker today announced that Samsara Deluxe is now
available from the Nintendo eShop in Europe priced £7.99 (GBP). It will be
released on 10 January 2019 in North America, priced $9.99 (USD). Players
will embark on a voyage of discovery and awakening with Zee and a mysterious
shadow – through light and dark, across the upside-down and the right side-up
to their eventual freedom.
The extended Switch version adds 24 never-before-seen puzzles set in a new
ethereal environment, with gameplay enhanced by a new elevator block type. Samara Deluxe operates
in TV, tabletop or handheld mode (with full touchscreen support).
Samsara won
the award “That Game like Clockwork” at Play By Play Awards 2018, as well as a
further three nominations for excellence. Samsara
was also a finalist at MomoCon 2018 and Unite Melbourne 2017.
Samsara Deluxe
is a beautiful, reflective puzzle game set in a world of echoes where players
guide a child safely to the exit by dropping blocks of different shapes and
properties into a world of two dimensions split by a pool. Simple mechanics
conceal complex interactions involving gravity, balance, redirection and
teleportation, with a twist: everything added in the upside down world below
reflects in the world above.
Samsara Deluxe
for Switch features over 100 levels across 7 hand-detailed realms, each with
hidden “Easter Eggs” to uncover, and is hand-crafted by a team of experienced
developers in New Zealand.
Critical reception for the Xbox One release:
“Samsara will go down as one of my Game of the Year contenders and I’ll be hard
pressed to find a more unique, enchanting experience” The Geekiverse 9.75 / 10
“Almost a flawless performance” Gamereality, 5/5
“Zee found a place in my heart” LifeisXbox, 8.6 / 10
