From Polygon: "Viz Media’s made a name for itself through anime and manga publishing, but with The World Next Door, the first title to launch under its new video game imprint, it looks like the company has a good chance at breaking into yet another field. Because from what I played of the combination action-puzzle-visual novel during this year’s Game Developers Conference, developer Rose City Games has something endearingly unexpected on its hands."
Starting today, Elite Dangerous and The World Next Door are free at Epic Games Store. The free game offers run until November 26 at 11 AM Eastern. Once you claim them, they’re yours to keep.

The World Next Door is a fairly short game which combines both Visual Novel and Action together along with a unique take on the ‘Match-3’ mechanic. It was surprisingly fun, with a selection of unique characters to interact with and a colourful cast of otherworldly creatures.
