The Touryst is a 2019 action-adventure video game developed and published by Shin'en Multimedia for the Nintendo Switch. The game follows a tourist as he investigates numerous monuments on various islands. The game utilizes voxel art techniques to form a style reminiscent of realistic yet blocky visuals. A proprietary engine was developed for the game to allow high-fidelity graphical effects while still maintaining a smooth frame rate.
The Touryst received positive reviews from critics, with praise for its gameplay and design. Ports were released for Windows and Xbox One on 30 July 2020, with an enhanced version of the game released for Xbox Series X/S as a launch title on 10 November 2020; it was the first game to be released by Shin'en on these platforms. PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 versions were released on 9 September 2021.
