Dordogne, a lovely watercolor indie adventure game that’s been in the works for a few years, is finally arriving on June 13.  The story follows Mimi, a young woman who returns to her departed grandmother’s countryside cottage in the real-life French region of Dordogne to uncover family secrets.

Lastly, all versions of the game, including the Switch cloud port, will receive bug fixes via this patch. We enjoyed A Plague Tale: Requiem, with editor Wesley LeBlanc scoring the game an 8 out of 10 in his review, which you can read here. Will you be...
