Studio Zubio has confirmed that Bunderkin: The Ocular Eclipse will release on Nintendo Switch. The announcement accompanies a Kickstarter campaign that has raised nearly $100,000. The game blends puzzle, stealth, and action-adventure elements, with The Wind Waker and Majora's Mask cited as inspirations.
Studio Zubio has confirmed Bunderkin: The Ocular Eclipse for Nintendo Switch, alongside a Kickstarter that has drawn close to $100,000. The title mixes puzzle, stealth, and action-adventure design, drawing inspiration from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and Majora's Mask.
Players control Beedee the Bunderdragon, an outcast trying to enter Bunder Hollow's festival for the Ocular Eclipse. A three-day loop structures the story: preparations, odd behavior, then chaos as parasitic Oculi threaten the town. Repeating days lets players learn schedules, routes, and consequences.
As the Switch release moves forward, it may appeal to players who enjoy puzzle-stealth adventures and Zelda nostalgia, potentially expanding Studio Zubio's audience. Kickstarter backers could see their support validated, while the campaign's visibility may encourage other small teams to pursue crowdfunding. Its time-loop structure could also shape player expectations around replayable, schedule-based design, though the actual social reach will depend on final quality and release timing.
