GN Version 5.0

Get ready to embark on a global journey filled with bizarre villains and a chubby underdog kid with wacky superpowers when adventure platformer Adventures of Chris from Graffiti Games and Guin Entertainment launches on Nintendo Switch™, as well as on Steam (PC, Mac and Linux), this summer.

Set in the greatest year ever, 1995, protagonist Chris is kidnapped, mocked and transformed into a balloon, but manages to escape by floating off on a global adventure. Driven by determination, superpowers such as fireballs, and most importantly cookies, Chris is on a mission to defeat the forces of villainy to save children from around the world and make it home in time for dessert. Inspired by ‘90s cartoons, Adventures of Chris is chock-full of humor and invigorating combat that players will use to transform Chris from a weak kid into the ultimate hero.

“The Switch is a great home for in-depth, single-player adventure games and Adventures of Chris will be a great addition to the system,” said Chris Guin, CEO of Guin Entertainment. “Chris’ unique combat and platforming elements will thrill gamers of all skills, and the game’s family-friendly content means people of all ages can transform Chris into a hero we all dream to be.”
