Publisher Assemble Entertainment and developer Digital Rabbit have today announced that Fall of Porcupine, a wholesome 2D adventure game about the trials and tribulations of working in the healthcare industry, will be heading over to Switch on 15th June — and there's even a new trailer to go with it.

The game will see you playing as Finley, a newly-qualified medical practitioner, as he begins his first hospital job in the town of Porcupine. The anthropomorphised characters and storybook aesthetics give off a strong 'cosy games' vibe like we saw with Beacon Pines last year, but, as was the case with the aforementioned title, Fall of Porcupine is not quite as cuddly as it may initially seem.

By the looks of all the trailers that we have seen so far, the game looks like it isn't going to shy away from the harsh reality of working in the healthcare industry. Conversations with patients seem tough, a work/life balance is difficult to strike and the pressure is immense. Walking the line between cute and realistic is a tough one, but it looks like Fall of Porcupine is on the right track so far.

For a little more information about the game itself and a closer look at some screenshots, check out the following from the publishers:
