Chibig, the studio behind titles like Koa and the Five Pirates of Mara, Summer in Mara, and Ankora: Lost Days, has revealed the physical release of Bel's Fanfare on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5. The game is scheduled for release in late 2027.
If you're interested, you can still secure your physical copy through the Kickstarter campaign, which ends in 11 days. Various reward options are available, ranging from the standard edition to special editions and even autographed editions.
In one of the most recent updates, it was revealed that the game is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 with a proper physical release, meaning no Game Key Card.
It's important to note that the campaign aims to fund the game's development, so you can also contribute in other ways besides purchasing physical copies.
About-
Bel’s Fanfare is an RPG with rich deep exploration and expressive combat. You play as Bel, the new aura cleaner of the once-luxurious vessel The Witch of the Sea.
Story
For many years, Belceboo and his many children have been left forgotten in the depths of The Witch of the Sea. Now, he has the chance to send his favorite daughter Bel to the outside, where she will serve the captain as the new aura cleaner.
Before parting, Belceboo grants Bel a final gift: the Ukoback gong-shield, an old family heirloom capable of disrupting and absorbing aura.
To the passengers, Bel is restoring the ship to its former glory, but in secret, she is setting in motion a plan to free her family from their imprisonment.
Features-
- Master the gong-shield for combat, exploration and puzzle-solving.
- Explore the many (hidden) rooms of the Witch of the Sea.
- Your choices matter. Push characters into a resolution and experience its consequences.
- Defeat hostile aura in expressive combat arenas with surprises at every stage.
- Meet otherworldly beings. Sometimes friends, sometimes foes, and anything in between.
Gameplay-
Discover – Traverse the rooms of the ship in search for secrets. Some will lead you to interesting places. Others… will better be left ignored.
Purify – Ring your gong-shield to collect aura flies. Use their power to disrupt and cleanse cursed objects. You’re the new aura cleaner after all!
Gossip – Meddle into the issues of others and watch their stories unfold. Attend to a notorious wizard wedding, bow to the (ex) Queen of Mara, or mediate a neighbors squabble. Find drama at every scale.
Battle Encounters – Hostile aura resists being cleaned and will trap you into bullet hell arenas. Dodge bullets and block resonant (colored) projectiles until your shield is fully charged!
Bosses – To truly eradicate aura, you must find its source inside the spirit of key passengers. There, a special challenge awaits you.
“Chin up, Bel! Your brothers and sisters are counting on you!”
