The Mayor Of Sanctuary is a new upcoming title for the Nintendo Game Boy and Game Boy Color. Developer Nara Makes Games and retro publisher Incube8 Games have announced that the game will also be getting released on physical cartridge. The Mayor of Sanctuary is set to release December 15, 2023. Pre-orders for the game are now open.

The Mayor of Sanctuary has players in the shoes of Yuu, the former mayor of Anzen who had hoped for a quiet retirement away from the hustle of civic life. Unfortunately, this does not come to pass as  a wave of cursed spirits begin to emerge from the once tranquil forests of Sanctuary. It is now up to Yuu to return to Anzen and connect with its inhabitants to unravel the mysteries behind the unrest.

Players can expect to “embark on a journey of casual exploration through a large unique map, brimming with charming characters and captivating scenery. This leisurely experience offers mild combat, light puzzles, and hidden secrets waiting to be discovered.”
