Tristia: Chronicles launches September 17 in the west - Gematsu
Tristia: Chronicles, which includes both Tristia: Legacy and Tristia: Restore, will launch for Switch on September 17 in the west, publisher Aksys Games announced. Pre-orders are available now via retailers like Aksys Games Store and VGP.
The Kogado Studio-developed games previously launched for Switch in Japan and Asia, and for PC via Steam worldwide on January 19, 2023.
Here is an overview of the collection, via Aksys Games:
Tristia: Legacy and Tristia: Restore are together in one updated collection! The beautiful city of Tristia, nicknamed the “Jewel of the Sea,” has bustled with maritime trade until recent dragon attacks stripped the city of its charm, and the people are resigned to its state of decay. Crafter-inventor Nanoca has been challenged to restore the city within a year. Will Tristia regain its former vibrancy or will it remain in disrepair? Everything depends on your hard work. Tristia: Restore takes place alongside Tristia: Legacy, but focuses on the day-to-day running of Nanoca’s shop. She has some major crafting projects to complete, but while she works to finish them, a constant barrage of requests pour in. Use minigames to gather your materials, choose the right equipment, and deliver completed items to the townsfolk. Can you accomplish everything before time runs out?

About
UNDERGROUNDED is a puzzle adventure game that takes you through nostalgic landscapes of America’s past. Help a young man travel through an underground maze looking for a lost ring, using the mysterious power of… retro games.
Story
Scott, a young man from Manhattan, finally pops the question to his girlfriend… who promptly says “no.” He’s so dejected that he accidentally drops the ring he used to propose into a storm drain. The ring keeps falling deeper and deeper underground. It falls into the sewers, then further down into… a movie theater? Wait, is that a jet plane? Why are we in the Old West now? What are cowboys doing underground??? Turns out that deep below Manhattan, there’s an underground dungeon where America’s past lives on! Will Scott be able to traverse it deep enough to find his ring?

So, what’s your favorite decade?
-Get Through Puzzles With a Trusted Ally!

Worry not! You have a great ally on your quest: a talkative, cheerful canary!
If a puzzle has got you stumped, listen to your bird friend. He might just have the hint you need.
-Get Back What You’ve Lost!
Scott isn’t the only one who found his way into the underground dungeon.
A lot of different people who have lost something are there to find it too.
Help them out and maybe, just maybe, that will help Scott’s life change for the better as well.
-Defeat Enemies With Retro Games!
Right, I forgot to mention one thing. There are terrifying, powerful bosses waiting for you in the dungeon!
But don’t despair: Scott has a mysterious power. If he finds a retro game cabinet and plays it, strange things happen in the world around him!
