Pode tells the story of two unlikely travel companions going on an adventure within a mysterious and magical mountain. Through their unique individual talents they reveal a magical world by working together to solve the puzzles. Pode is visually inspired by Norwegian art and culture resulting in a stunning exploration game.
Pode is one of 12 “Nindies” announced as coming to Switch eShop this year. Backed by Nintendo, Henchman & Goon has already participated in five trade shows over the last two months receiving positive enthusiasm from press and the public. A few weeks ago the developer announced working with the world-renowned Grammy award winner Austin Wintory to compose musical track for Pode.
