Inspired by nature and Ethiopian mythology, Eqqo is a poetic and meaningful puzzle-adventure.

Originally created for VR devices by indie Parallel Studio, founded by ex members of Ubisoft, DontNod Entertainment and Quantic Dream, the game Eqqo is now coming to Nintendo Switch to put the players at the heart of a playful and emotional journey.

Inspired by ancient Ethiopian legends, Eqqo is an initiatory adventure, and a love song to nature. It’s the improbable tale of two foreign creatures one to the other... A child who can't see, and an Egg, as fragile as it is vital.

Using the the powers of the Egg, the players will need to advance through sacred lands and mysterious rooms, awaken the Temple's sleeping mechanisms, foil ancient traps, and repel the dark forces that want to seize the Egg!


Key Features:
