Surprise! A wonderful little indie title has sprouted up on the Xbox store today as a sort of shadow drop. It actually dropped over the weekend, but hasn't appeared onto Xbox until today. Coming from developer Studio Fizbin, Minute of Islands is a beautiful hand drawn adventure, and is on the Microsoft Store right now for £19.99 / $19.99.

To further elaborate, it's a narrative driven platformer where you play as Mo, who is on a quest to "repair a world on the brink of collapse". You'll explore the island, solve puzzles, and engage in an emotional story that is sure to pack a punch.

Key Features

- Wield the powerful Omni Switch throughout story-based environmental puzzles and platform gameplay to regain control over the giants’ machines.
- Face the dark truth beneath the islands’ surfaces and unravel an emotional poetic story, narrated by actress Megan Gay.
- Explore a fantastic handcrafted world across multiple unique islands, meet curious characters and creatures, and uncover the archipelago’s secrets.

Our sister site Push Square described it as a short but beautiful trip, with an engaging story and some neat puzzles. We must say, the art style is really lovely and is calling to us. Could be a nice way to unwind after this manic E3 season and the gargantuan show that Xbox put on last week.
