GN Version 5.0

The Cork is a 2D Action-RPG set in a world that draws inspiration from classic Metroidvania platformers (with a heavy emphasis on vania) and the deliberate, challenging combat of Souls-likes.

Players take on the role of Salem Cairnwright, who after several months abroad finds his home devastated by a mysterious plague - its villagers erratic and hostile. The landscape beyond the village has changed, revealing an impossibly high wall towering above the forest. Gaining entry through a massive gate in the wall, you discover a kingdom built into the steep sides of an enormous crater. Descending into the crater to seek the source of the illness plaguing your village, you'll uncover the history of the forgotten kingdom and the tragic story of its fall.

While the Kickstarter campaign for The Cork launched a few days ago, it didn't include any mention of a Switch version. Now the developers have made an announcement stating that a Switch version is indeed in the works and will be the focus when it comes to consoles. If the Kickstarter hits $50k, a Switch version is a lock. Check out the full Kickstarter campaign here.
