The challenge
Bring a detailed first-person puzzle adventure, built in Unity and released on PC in 2016, to Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 - keeping its atmospheric lighting and dense, hand-built environments intact on handheld hardware, and making puzzles designed for mouse and keyboard feel natural on a controller.
- 02
What we didOptimized rendering, lighting and memory use for Switch, adapted first-person movement, object inspection and the in-game notebook for controller and handheld play, and took the build through Nintendo's certification process.
- 03
Outcome
Quern: Undying Thoughts launched on Nintendo Switch on October 6, 2026 - ten years after its PC debut - with the same island, the same puzzles and the same atmosphere on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2.
- Nintendo Switch & Switch 2

Lynci made porting far more cost-effective and easier to manage, letting us bring the release to more platforms. The game also passed certification on the first attempt - proof of how reliable the tool is.
