Swedish studio Tarsier is currently developing a sequel to the successful horror platformer , but, as it turned out, until recently, she was working on another game. It was released on November 8 without prior announcement, exclusively for the Nintendo Switch. The Stretchers is not at all like the previous work of the team - this is a humorous arcade game about an ambulance.
In the story, the carefree inhabitants of a fictional Icelandic island began to suffer from dizziness after they were hypnotized by the "self-proclaimed genius" Captain Blaine (Captain Blaine). Players need to drive around the city and provide medical assistance to the victims as quickly as possible in order to prevent mass panic. The mood of The Stretchers is reminiscent of Theme Hospital and , and in terms of gameplay - Crazy Taxi with puzzles. The machine is able to break through walls, soar into the air, flying around traffic jams, overcome pits on the roads and reservoirs. Patients are allowed to put several pieces on a stretcher at once, but it is still necessary to monitor their condition during transportation. The goal is to get them to the De-Dizzler 3000 device that cures dizziness.
During each rescue operation in the surroundings, you can find bonuses and earn extra points. Also available are secondary missions and customization (setting up the car and the appearance of the characters). The game supports multiplayer: a second player can control the ambulance using a second Joy-Con controller.
In the Russian segment The Stretchers is offered for 1 rubles. It is not yet known if the game will appear on other platforms.
