Haven is an RPG and visual novel hybrid with a surprisingly realistic love story for a game set in the far reaches of space. The plot focuses on lovers Yu and Kay, who take off on a cosy spaceship, aptly called ‘Nest’, in order to escape a matchmaker dead set on keeping them apart.
The game begins a few months after the pair land on a pastel-coloured planet named ‘Source’. When the Nest is damaged due to an earthquake, you’re quickly required to glide around islands to collect resources, pacify beasts covered in some mysterious rust, and craft goods to help you survive.
Haven originally released on PC and other consoles last year, so I knew a little bit about the title before diving into the Switch version. However, its gameplay doesn’t quite work in the way you might expect, with some elements being more fun than anticipated, while other aspects quickly grow tedious.
