Developed by Timberline Studio, the game places players in the role of a young woman who hasn’t achieved as much as she’d like. To this end, she aims to complete the Iditarod race and achieve a lifelong goal she has had since she was a child.

Unfortunately, things quickly fall apart along the way. In addition to colliding with a tree, she and her dogs are attacked by a bear, which kills several of the dogs she needs to escape the wilderness.

As a result, she is left to find her way to safety, braving the elements while also coming to terms with a new failure added to the growing list from the span of her life.

The title is reminiscent of Firewatch, from its art style to the more character and setting-focused narrative, yet also displays plenty of personality that makes it a title all its own.

Those interested can check out the trailer for themselves down below.

The Red Lantern is currently slated to come to the Nintendo Switch later this year, though no specific release date has been given at this time.

The Red Lantern is only one of several titles revealed at Nintendo’s Nindie showcase. For all of the latest announcements, head on over to Twinfinite.net’s homepage for all the news as it comes.
