14th August - Zurich, Switzerland - Indie team Stray Fawn Studio (Nimbatus) today announced that their genetic survival sim Niche will be coming to Nintendo Switch! It will release on the 3rd September and pre-orders with a 10% discount are available now. The initial Steam release was met with great player feedback and currently has over 2700 users reviews, ranking the game as very positive.

Niche is a colourful genetic survival game about selectively breeding and evolving an adorable species of creatures to keep them alive against all odds, such as hungry predators, climate change and sickness. Combining turn-based strategies with simulation and roguelike elements, the game provides tons of different approaches to survive in the harsh environment.

Stray Fawn Studios game designer Philomena Schwab always had a strong affinity for biology and even struggled for a time to decide whether she wanted to pursue that field or game design. As a result, she decided to create Niche, a game about population genetics with a mating system based on real gene science, featuring mutation, dominant/recessive/codominant heredity and much more.

With a genetics system based on real DNA, the PC version of the game is currently also free for teachers to use in classrooms and is used by over 300 biology teachers for their studies.

Nintendo Switch review codes are available via [emailprotected] for editorial outlets.
