Set on a luxury cruise ship, Gift is a side-scrolling adventure game that incorporates the thrill of escaping a ship with the danger of a drastically changing environment. The game is developed by Japanese studios Toydium and Million Edge, and co-published by Bushiroad (Cardfight!! Vanguard, BanG Dream!), Toydium, and Million Edge.
In the game, you play as an elderly man who has somehow found himself aboard the sinking cruiseliner. There’s an air of nostalgia as you mingle with the other passengers but it’s not long before a loud noise is heard and everything descends into chaos.
This cruise is rocky to say the least, levels will tilt at a moment’s notice and water levels will rise when you’re not looking. Use a combination of skills and quick thinking to open a path forward. As the waves keep coming, it’s up to you to run away from it all and in some cases, confront the danger head on.
Along the way, you will meet other passengers trapped in the sinking ship. Despite everything, there’s a certain warmth to everyone you meet. Experience a heart-warming story unfold as you solve each mystery and understand their significance — while an important encounter awaits you at the very end.
The game already feels reminiscent of titles like Little Nightmares with its atmospheric 3D side-scroller approach. Bushiroad has also been releasing adorable four-panel mangas on the game’s Steam, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram to introduce players to this incredibly immersive world.
Gift is set to release on May 8th at 10PM (GMT+8) on Steam, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox series X|S. The game will be priced at USD 24.99, EUR 24.50, and GBP 20.99.
