Ken Follett’s The Pillars of the Earth gameplay

Ken Follett’s The Pillars of the Earth dropped on Switch this week, and we have a new round of gameplay. Fans can get a closer look at the visual novel on Nintendo’s console.

Here’s an overview of the title:

Based on Ken Follett’s world-bestseller, ‘The Pillars of the Earth’ retells the story of the village of Kingsbridge in a whole new interactive way. Play as Jack, Aliena and Philip and change the events of the book through exploration, decision-making and dialogues.

In their struggle to survive, lives and destinies intertwine. Philip the monk becomes prior of the small abbey of Kingsbridge. At the same time, a boy called Jack is raised in the woods by his outlawed mother. His apprenticeship as a stonemason paves his way to become a gifted master builder.
